Information for bulk orders

If you have never ordered meat in bulk, this page explains what you can expect. All our animals are butchered, vacuum packed and frozen in local MAPAQ inspected facilities by certified personnel.
At the abattoirs, they really go to great lengths to insure that the animals do not stress or suffer needlessly. The places we work with are spotless.
Important! Prices are calculated by hanging (carcass) weight.

Most of our clients do not want to choose their cuts, so we usually ask the butcher for a variety of cuts. If you want special cuts or if you want the butcher to package according to your family size, please inform us as early as possible!
Remember that we butcher only a limited number of times per year to ensure optimal quality.

Iowa State University made an interesting document for those who want to know more.
