How Reserving Beef Works
01
Choose Your Share and Date Below
Select the amount of beef that fits your family's needs. We offer Quarter, Half, or Whole beef shares, allowing you to fill your freezer with quality meat at the best price.
02
Inventory In Units
Our livestock inventory is tracked in quarter-beef units. When you reserve a half or whole, you are simply securing multiple units from the same processing date.
03
Secure With A Deposit
You only pay the deposit amount now to reserve your spot. The final balance is calculated later based on the actual hanging weight of the animal after processing.
04
Confirm & Prepare
Once reserved, you will receive a confirmation email with all the details. We will keep you updated as the processing date approaches and provide fulfillment instructions.

Process & Fulfillment
What to expect after you reserve your beef.
Timeline & Curing
After processing, the beef is dry-aged for approx 10-14 days to enhance flavor. Following this, it is cut and wrapped then froze. Your order will be ready 2-3 weeks after the processing date.
Cutting & Wrapping
All beef is professionally cut and vacuum-sealed. Every cut is clearly labeled for easy organization in your home freezer.
Pickup Logistics
We will contact you when it is time to send in your cut sheet, when processing payment is needed and to inform you of the day beef will be ready for farm pickup in Carleton, MI. A Quarter Beef needs approximately two large coolers for transport.
Key Expectations
We will be in contact the entire step of the way through the process. Expect text messages from us keeping you up to date on information regarding your beef when it gets closer to the date of processing. Ensure you have 3-5 cubic feet of freezer space ready for a Quarter Beef. We recommend an upright or chest freezer for optimal storage.
