ORDERING

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

As of April 7th, 

we are sold out for 2024 (sorry!). 

It's not too early to reserve your share for Fall 2025!

Price for 2025: 

$4.08/lb hanging weight 

Each half requires a $200 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 2025 share.

Return the form 

with your deposit 

($200 for each half; 

$400 for a whole). 

Make checks payable to:

ElkFlat Farm
15754 Lakeshore Drive
Caldwell ID 83607

We also accept cash if you prefer.

These are 2025 prices.

Our beef average around 1000 lbs live weight. A half share is around 290 lbs hanging weight (500 lbs live weight) and runs about $1,183 to us, ElkFlat Farm. 

You then pay the processor for Cut & Wrap; around $404 - (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 $1587, and varies with the animal, of course. This works out to around $7.94/lb for steaks to burger. A great price for grass fed beef!

 We use two custom butchers for processing: Greenleaf Custom Meats (208-454-0164, 21342 Main St, Greenleaf, ID 83626) and Northwest Premium Meats (208-466-9413, 137 N Happy Valley Rd, Nampa, ID 83687). We will let you know which one to contact when it is time to call in your cutting order.

Once we've notified you that your animal has been harvested and is being aged, you will need to call the custom 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 $90 per animal plus $.65 / 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 and contact processor to give them your cutting order preferences. 

 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, 2 sides (or halves) of beef together would yield about 580 pounds "hanging weight", which is the weight before aging, cutting and wrapping.
