Quarter Beef Deposit
We charge $3.60/lb hanging weight for a quarter. The customer is responsible for their portion of butcher processing fees that will be paid to the butcher when they pick up the meat from the butcher. Our butcher is Cedar Wedge Farm Processing located in Bonduel, WI. They charge a $70 kill fee plus $0.70/lb processing fee. The average hanging weight of a quarter of beef is 200-250lbs and the average total for a quarter of beef is $1,000. We list the breakdown of the price below. Special Note is that the $100 deposit is to hold your reservation for the quarter of beef and will count towards your final payment.
Estimated Total Costs listed below for a 225lb hanging weight quarter
1) Payment to Ski Farms LLC: $3.60 per lb hanging weight for a quarter comes out to $810 ($100 up front and then $710 after we drop the animal off at the butcher and recieve the hanging weight from the butcher)
2) Processing fee to Cedar Wedge : 0.70 per lb X 225lbs = $157.50
- Processing fee will vary based off of customers meat cutting instructions (for example extra cost for making hamburger patties)
- The slaughter fee of $70 dollars per animal is split so 70/4 = $17.5
Grand total comes to: (810 + 157.50 + 17.5) = $985 Total
We are taking reservations for our beef butcher dates from September 10th to October 22nd for 2024. It takes around 2 weeks for the butcher to age and process your meat.
- The beef butcher date is the date we drop the animal off to the butcher so if you schedule for a quarter beef on September 10th you can expect to pick up your meat 10-14 days later around September 20th-24th.
- If you order a quarter beef, it will be a split quarter meaning that you will split a half with another customer. This way you will recieve portions of the front and rear quarter to make it equal since the front quarter is small and has different cut of meat than the rear quarter.
