How to Purchase Beef in by the 1/2 or a Whole cow.
If you want a ½ or a whole cow, you can come to us any time and let us know. You pay us for the live weight of the cow, and you pay the butcher for processing the meat, which is based on the cow’s hanging weight. We generally try not to do a ¼, unless you can find someone else to take the other ¼.
The price of the cow is based off of its live weight. The price comes from the market value that is published by Lancaster Farming and the Greencastle Livestock Auction.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
