ABOUT OUR PASTURE RAISED, GRASS-FED& FINISHED BEEF:
Thank you for your interest in grass-fed & finished beef, and for supporting local food, family farms and family farmers!
At Sweet Mercy Farms, we raise Hereford, Angus, and a wonderful Hereford/Angus cross. The Angus breed has a robust, full flavor, and the Hereford breed has a terrific marbling quality, that makes the Angus/Hereford cross one of the most tender, flavorful, and delicious tasting beef around. We don’t use any hormones or antibiotics on the cattle, nor pesticides or herbicides on our pastures.
What it costs
We butcher our beef when they reach about 1100 pounds. This takes quite a while on grass, much longer than when quickly bulked up with grains or corn. The price of the meat is $7.95 / pound based on the actual hanging weight of the cow - usually about 60% of weight on the hoof.
We dry age the beef for between 14 - 21 days, depending upon the marbling of the meat. The butcher then takes the sides and cuts the meat to your specifications - bone-in, boneless, thickness, cuts, etc. The actual freezer weight will be about 70% of the hanging weight.
If purchasing 1/2 side of beef, you can estimate roughly 330 pound hanging, or about $2625. This includes the butchering, cutting to order, wrapping and freezing with your name and the cut of beef on each package. The meat is really nicely double-wrapped and frozen.
If purchasing a split-half, you can estimate the full cost to be about $1300. The meat will also be double-wrapped, cut to order, frozen and marked with the cut of beef on the package.
