Frequently Asked Questions

1.  Do I get my own meat back?

With beef you will receive all your own steaks, roasts, ribs, brisket, and ground beef back. If you have beef sticks or beef jerky made, depending on batch size, your meat might be co-mingled.

With pork you will receive your own pork chops, ham, bacon, ribs, and roasts back. Specialty products may be co-mingled depending on batch size.

2.  How long do you hang your beef?

Beef is hung appropriately 9-11 days before processing.

5.  How long do I have to pick up my order?

We ask that you pick up your order within 8-10 days of being notified that the order is ready for pick up. Storage charges will accrue after 21 days, as we do not rent lockers nor have the space to store meat in our freezer.  Finance charges of 2.1% per month will be applied to unpaid balances after 45 days.
