Pricing is based on what’s known as the Hot Hanging Weight (HHW) which is the weight of the carcass after the head, insides, hide, and feet have been removed. Our price per pound is based on the HHW.In addition to the price based on the carcass weight (what we receive) there is also the Inspection, Slaughter and Cut and Wrap fees which are approximately $1.25 per pound based on the HHW. We are being charged a little extra to split a side. Specialty processing such as sausages and jerky is extra.Because your price is based on the carcass weight of the animal, we will not be able give you an exact total price until the animals are harvested. Generally our sides weigh between 290 and 350 lbs hanging, average about 325 lbs.The most frequently asked question we receive is: How much packaged beef can we expect? Sixty to 65% of the HHW goes into your freezer as packaged meat. The rest is bone and trim that is removed in processing. We use 62% of the HHW to calculate the packaged price per pound and to estimate how much beef you are putting in your freezer.

For 2022, our selling price is $4.55/lb hot hanging weight (HHW) for a half or split half and the slaughter/cut and wrap fee is $1.25/lb of HHW for a side and $1.35 for a split-side. These prices assumes the customer is picking up their beef from our butcher. The following guidelines are based on a 1150 lb live animal. The actual price will vary depending on the size of the animal at the time of slaughter.

We will email an invoice, less your deposit, once we know the Hanging Weight of your animal. It will include our fee as well as the inspection and slaughter fee. We would appreciate payment within 14 days, about the time your meet will hang before cutting and wrapping. If you are local the cut and wrap fee is paid directly to the butcher when your meat is picked up. If we are delivering, we will include the cut and wrap fees and delivery charges on our invoice. We accept payment by e-transfer or cheque.

Typically, local orders are picked up from the butcher and the cut and wrap fee (.89 cents/lb plus tax) is paid directly to them by you. If it is impossible for you to pick up your order, we will assist in making alternate arrangements.We do make a late fall run to the lower mainland and to Kitimat, Terrace and Rupert with multiple orders.  If you are not in the neighbourhood, please contact us to discuss delivery options.We sell beef primarily by the side catering to families who want to guarantee themselves a year round supply of freezer beef. We also sell by the quarter if there are two friends or family members want to “split” the side. Our butcher accepts one set of cutting instruction per side, so if a side is being split the partners must agree of the instructions.
