   Note to Customers:

Content of other Quarters may vary from these figures due to variations in individual animals (ie: carcass size & condition, cutting specs)  Also, our Quarters are actually half of Sides containing front and hind quarter cuts. Hanging weights are determined by taking the full carcass weight and dividing by 2 or 4 to arrive at the hanging Side or Quarter weight respectively.

                           

                           SAVINGS OF:       $123.12

 

You save almost $125 by purchasing "by the Quarter".  How?  The beef cuts in this quarter if purchased individually over-the-counter at farmer's markets would cost  $547.92.   However, our price of $424.80 based on $3.60/lb. x 118 lbs.  gives you the savings noted above:  $123.12  and we deliver at no extra charge. (Note: a very small fuel surcharge may apply if high fuel prices become an issue)
