GRASS-FED BEEF PRICES 2010 consignment prices for a whole, half, or quarter beef are $3.70 per pound hanging weight. What this means is that if a calf weighed 1000 pounds on the hoof, after slaughter the carcass will be hung in the cooler for aging as two sides (or two halves) of beef. Each half might weight 250 pounds for a total of 500 pounds for both sides. A quarter beef might weigh around 125 pounds. Mineola Meat Processing will weigh the carcass before delivery to Mr. Gentry in Henderson. Whatever the beef weighed at Mineola multiplied by $3.70 per pound is the price. All cutting and packaging is included in this price. I sometimes deliver and charge a delivery fee of $35.00. This must be coordinated at consignment. Remember that if a quarter of beef weighed 125 pounds hanging, there will be discarded bones and fat plus shrinkage that reduces this weight. Therefore the packages in a box will not weight the full 125 pounds I have 8 calves born in 2008 for consignment in 2010 beginning around August and ending late Fall. Sometimes a customer will back out or cancel the order so please sign up for a 1/4 or 1/2 as soon as possible. After all calves are consigned I will put you on the list for any cancellations and I will call you immediately. The Big Oaks Ranch Store no longer has individual packages of beef. The prices and availability are below.
