Beef Cuts in Limited Supply

5/27/2020

0 Comments

 
Our supply of grass-fed, grass-finished beef is in limited supply! We are selling out faster than we can re-stock the freezer. See our current price list on the Cattle page.

What we have are (as of today):
  • About 50 lbs of ground beef;
  • Some filet steaks;
  • A few ribeye steaks;
  • Brisket;
  • Soup bones, which are very meaty, almost a small roast for one person;
  • Lots of summer sausage (1-1.5 lbs avg) and beef sticks (4 sticks average 0.25 lb - 0.35 lb); and
  • Other cuts, like tongue, heart, oxtail, and liver.

What we are out of (as of today):
  • Strip steaks;
  • Sirloin steaks; and
  • All roasts.

We are taking two steers to the butcher on May 29, 2020. Six quarters have been sold to individuals, while we will put one half into our freezer. We should have a little more supply about 21-24 days after butcher.

We have a butcher date for August 7, 2020. Three quarters are available as of today. We are taking reservations for these quarters.

We have a butcher date for October 8, 2020. Four quarters are still available as of today and we are taking reservations. This is our last steer for 2020.

Our farm (like other livestock producers) has been dramatically affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic. We have had a significant increase in customers seeking quality meat from a reputable source. At the same time, local butchers have been overwhelmed by farmers who can't sell their cattle to meat processing facilities and are trying to sell them through the local butchers. And in our area, two local butchers have gone out of business in the past six months!

We are very glad to meet new customers and hope they stay with us a long time. We are also grateful for all of our existing customers who have been with us since the beginning. Thank you for supporting local food and our family farm!
