FAQs

How is your beef sold?

We are currently selling half and full beef. A whole beef will hang around 650lbs +/-

You will take home approximately 60-65% of this cut and wrapped.

Approximate Freezer space needed

How does the process work?

Hanberg Ranches will give you a harvest date. The beef will hang roughly 2-3 weeks. During this time the butcher will call for cutting instructions.

You will pay Hanberg Ranches for the hanging weight. $5.00 LB

You will pay the butcher separately for their harvest fee and cut & wrap. Current prices for the butcher we use, $180 harvest fee (1/2 beef would be $90.) Cut & Wrap is currently 1.05 per lb. **Please note, these prices can change.

We will be using WSU Meats Lab- a USDA inspected facility. GO COUGS!!!

Do you grain finish your beef?

We do! Our cows have access to grass and pasture.  The final 4 months before harvesting their grass diet is supplemented with grain.

How do I tell the butcher shop how I want my beef cut?

Our butcher will call you for cutting instructions.

Is there a deposit?

We do require a deposit. Beef will only be guaranteed if a deposit has been paid.

Is there a limited supply of beef?

Yes, as a small farm we do have a limited supply each year.

It says May 2025, does that mean it will be ready May 1st?

No, beef will be ready between May 1st and June 1st. If you have a vacation planned, or plans in general, please let us know and we will keep freezer space available for you.
