MEAT
Cows weigh a lot more than hogs. We usually butcher when their live weight is around 1300 lbs. give or take a couple of hundred pounds. Our next group of steers for butcher should be ready in August. Please keep in mind that these are live animals and the weights and timing can vary. We prefer to sell steers in whole or half quantities. If you do not wish to have a whole steer, we will put your name on a list till we can find another buyer for the other half.  Below is a breakdown of a steer we had processed.  This steer was one of our smaller steers at 1140 lb.

120  Ground Beef
30 Patties
19 lb. Cube Steak
17.14 lb.  T-Bone & Porterhouse Steaks
7.18 Sirloin Strip
9.5 lb.  Ribeye & Filet
1.53 Flank Steak
11.78 Arm & Rump Roast
Soup Bones
1  Neck Bone
0 Stew Meat
216.13 lb. meat

WHAT WILL IT COST

HOGS: We will try to deliver a hog that is between 250-300 lbs. As of 9/24/2022 the market price of hogs has been changing quickly. As of 9/24/2022 the market price is $.90/lb. live weight. We will add $50 to the market price on the day we take the hog to the processing facility. So for example, a 280 lb. hog would cost $302 for the live animal. The processing fees at the locker plant vary according to how your pork is prepared. Generally, it should be around $300. So you can expect the total cost of the hog, including processing to be about $602. You would pay us for the live animal and the locker for the processing fees.

We have pork appointments at the Sugar Rock Farms meat processing throughout the year.

*Prices are subject to change.

BEEF: We are unsure of what cattle prices will do by the time they are ready. At this time we are anticipating the live weight price to be $1.50/lb. Price of half of a 1300 lb. steer would be $975 plus processing. The processing fees depend on how you have your meat cut but should be around $350-400 for a half. So the total cost of the half at $1375*. We accept payments made by cash or check for the live animal. You will need to pay the Locker Plant for the butcher cuts.
Our next beef appointment are for August of 2023 at Sugar Rock Farms meat processing in Westport IN

All of these cuts are locally processed at a state inspected facility
