(Prices shown reflect average total cost: Includes butcher fees. All amounts include your choice of Steaks and Roasts in vacuum seal bags, Ground Beef in burger bags. Patties and Smokehouse items are extra cost. These Shares are always at least 45% ground beef, as a large part of the animal is unfit for tender steaks and roasts)
Keystone Cattle Company uses our Sister Company "Mountain Man Mobile Processing LLC" for the processing of 1/4, 1/2, and whole beef shares.
(beef bundle boxes must be run through a USDA inspected processor)
Mt. Man LLC is a Custom Exempt butcher shop, which means that they may only process beef for the owner for the animal, and all of the packaging must be marked:
"NOT FOR SALE"
(Federal law prohibits the resale of Beef processed under this exemption.)
There is a way around this however:
Beef may be purchased through us if the animal cost is paid directly to the owner of the animal (Keystone Cattle Co.)
This means that several individuals purchase a cow together, and we have it processed for them. A down payment for the animal is due when you place the order, and remaining amount and the processing fees are paid when you pick up.
A Quarter is 120-125 lbs of beef, and provides a minimum of 50% ground beef, maximum 30% roasts, and maximum 20 % steaks.
Each person must submit a cut sheet (instructions for the butcher) for their own portion of the animal, allowing them to order the meat to their specs.
