ORDERING

We harvest our grass-fed beef in the fall and sell it by shares, either a half an animal or a whole.

Price for 2026: 

$7.00/lb. hanging weight 

Each half requires a $400 deposit, due at time of ordering.

100% refundable up to 

90 days prior to harvest.

You are responsible for processing costs (see Processing below).

 To reserve the next available beef, email us and we'll send you an order form for a 2026 share.

Return the form 

with your deposit 

($400 for each half; 

$800 for a whole). 

Make checks payable to:

We also accept cash if you prefer.

Our beef average around 1000 lbs live weight = ~580 lbs hanging weight. A half share is around 290 lbs hanging weight which would run ~ $2,030 to us, ElkFlat Farm. 

You then pay the processor for Cut & Wrap; ~$465 (butcher prices may vary and it depends on what you have done with your meat - they walk you through that and it's easy!)

Total for a half would be around $2,495 for ~220 lbs of beef to your freezer (varies with the animal, of course). This works out to ~$11.34/lb for rib steaks to burger. A great price for grass fed beef!

 We use Sweeney Country Style Meats in Bremerton, WA, to custom cut our beef. They come to our farm to humanely harvest our beef and hang them in their locker for about 2 weeks.

Once we've notified you that your animal has been harvested and is being aged, you will need to call the butcher to let them know what cuts you'd like. They will walk you through what custom cut choices are available. It's very easy and they are wonderful.

You are responsible for processing fees, paid to the custom butcher when you pick up your meat. Processing fees are estimated at $200 per animal plus $1.21/lb. hanging weight, though prices may vary.

They will call you when the aging/cutting/wrapping/freezing is finished. You need to arrange to pick up your meat and pay them the processing costs at that time.

We use local custom beef processors who comes out to the farm to humanely, and with the least amount of stress, harvest our animals. 

When the beef has been taken to the locker, we email you an invoice for the balance due. It takes approximately 2 weeks to age, cut, wrap and flash-freeze the beef. 

During that period, you will need to pay your balance due to us and contact processor to give them your cutting order preferences. They will expect to be paid when you pick up your beef. 

 Our live steers weigh between 1000 and 1200 pounds each "on the hoof." Of that weight, approximately 40-45% is lost at slaughter. 

Using a hypothetical 

1,000-pound animal, 

a whole beef would yield about 

580 pounds "hanging weight", which is the weight before aging, cutting and wrapping. 

After cutting and wrapping, 

a whole beef averages around 

400 pounds of meat 

to the freezer.
