2024 Prices – Ground Beef $6.08 per pound hanging weight.  

Processing will begin in mid to late October with shipping starting in late October throughout November and sometimes into December depending on weather.  Once a hanging weight has been determined on your beef, you will be invoiced.  Orders are then processed and frozen.  Please allow at least 1-3 weeks after receiving your final invoice for your shipment to arrive.  All orders are shipped to the carrier (Ace or Alaska Air) closest to you.  You will be notified by phone or email when your order is available for pick-up from the carrier.  Orders are packed in the order in which they are received.
