Description

 

We are currently accepting deposits for July–December 2026 harvest dates.

Our half beef is priced at $6.50/lb. hanging weight, which includes processing, dry aging, vacuum sealing, and freezing.

A typical half averages ~375 lbs. hanging weight (this is the weight after harvest, once the head, hide, organs, and inedible portions are removed).

  • Estimated total: $2,437.50
  • Estimated take-home beef: 210–230 lbs.

Please note: Hanging weight can vary by 10–12% in either direction.


Processing & Pickup

All animals are processed at trusted, family-owned USDA-inspected facilities:

  • Midsouth Packers – Forsyth, GA
  • Blue Ridge Meats – Rabun Gap, GA
  • North Georgia Meats – Ellijay, GA

Customers may pick up directly from the processor. If picking up from Midsouth (Forsyth, Ga.) is not convenient, we offer transport to our farm in Clarkesville for a $100 fee, which will be added to your final invoice. We can offer the same transport from BRM or North Georgia Meats for a $50 fee.

Pickup timing is approximately 2.5–3 weeks after harvest.


Customize Your Order

When you reserve a half, we’ll walk you through completing your cut sheet, helping you choose the cuts that best fit your family.

Your selections impact your final take-home weight. For example, choosing more bone-in cuts (ribeyes, porterhouses, roasts) will increase total weight, while boneless options reduce it, though you’re receiving the same amount of beef either way.

You’ll also have the option to include:

  • Soup bones or marrow bones (Cross cut shank)
  • Organ meats (liver, heart, tongue)
  • Oxtail and other specialty cuts

Why Buy in Bulk?

Purchasing a half or whole beef typically saves around 25% compared to buying the same quantity through our retail bundles.


Freezer Space

Plan for approximately 1 cubic foot of freezer space per 30 lbs. of beef.
A half beef typically fits well in a 7–8 cubic foot chest freezer.
