Half Body

The cost for a half cow is calculated at $18 per kg, and ranges from $2,500 to $3,200 depending on the final dressed weight. A deposit of $500 is payable upon order, and the balance is payable after processing when we notify you of the precise final cost.

Purchasing beef in large quantities by the half or full cow is a great way to buy, as it gives you the flexibility to have your order customised to your needs. It also means excellent value for money. However, it is important to understand how these purchases are priced.

Our pricing is based on Hot Carcass Weight (HCW) or Dressed Weight, which is the weight of the beast after it has been slaughtered, skinned and eviscerated. The weight for each order is noted by our processor and we use this to calculate the final price – however this is slightly different to the actual weight of beef you will receive, as weight loss occurs during butchering and ageing. This weight loss is due to shrinkage and the removal of inedible fat and unusable bones, and is generally between 10% to 25%.

Because we process the entire carcass, bones are included in your order. These are excellent for making soups and bone broth, and your dog will love them!

If you have specific requests for how the beast is processed and supplied, please let us know in the comments field during checkout.

All final cuts are labelled and packed in Cryovac packaging, and can be stored in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days or frozen for up to 12 months.
