JUNE BEEF DEPOSIT! 
This is a deposit to reserve your side of beef. 
Each deposit reserves 1/4 of a side.
**If you want a whole or a half of beef please adjust the quantity by selecting 4 if you want a whole beef, 3 if you want 3/4 of a beef, and 2 if you are wanting 1/2.
 
Your deposit will be credited to your final bill to The Saltbox Farm.
 
We adjust our prices based on the current market prices.
 
The hanging weight is the weight the butcher provides us- the bones, meat and organs. You will have a bill to us for the beef, then you will have an additional cost to the butcher for their processing fees.
This varies depending on your selections and it’s something you can discuss with the butcher when making your cut card selections.
Full payment for the beef will be due to our farm prior to picking up your beef from the meat locker. The meat locker requests payment for processing fees at the time of pick up.
 
Are you wanting to stock up on your beef supply and keep the freezer filled so you can have farm fresh beef whenever you need it? This is the most cost-efficient way to do that! It's also the way to get your beef cut just the way you want it.
 
If you've never ordered beef this way before, that's ok! The butcher is an excellent resource to walk you through filling out your cut card. She will talk to you about how you like to cook with beef, explain how some cuts are used, and ask lots of questions to make sure she cuts your beef just the way you want it! 
 
You can cut your steaks the thickness you prefer, choose to package some of your ground beef into hamburger patties, select fajita and stew meat cuts, keep or discard things like the organs, bones, and tallow. Don't feel intimidated by all of the choices, everyone has their preferences!
 
THE BEEF:
Angus-cross beef rated as Prime and Choice from Pagel & Son Ranch in Netawaka, KS.

Melissa grew up watching and helping her grandparents, parents, and siblings on the ranch. It is still a family ranch, now operated by her parents, younger brother and his wife.
Grass fed, grain finished to get the perfect flavor and marbling. The Pagel's grind their own grain with ingredients harvested on their farm.
