WHAT IS BULK-BEEF?
Bulk-beef ordering is for those interested in purchasing our beef by the 1/4, 1/2, or whole cow. It is ideal for those with families who have enough freezer space to buy all of their beef at once. Advantages are you get to pick your cuts and processing style and it is discounted by buying it all at once. We charge by the hanging weight. Please contact us with any questions and to place an order.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR GETTING BULK-BEEF?
First, we take your order, walk you through the process, and deliver the beef to the locker. You then inform the locker how you want your beef cut and finally the locker will call you when beef is ready (usually takes about 2 weeks after beef is delivered to locker). We will ask that you pay us for the beef before you pick it up at the locker. You will pay the locker fee when you pick your beef up at the locker. (1/4, 1/2 and whole beef)
WHAT LOCKERS DO YOU USE?
We’re flexible- Most commonly Raber Packing (Peoria, IL) and Bittners Locker (Eureka, IL)

HOW MUCH DOES THE LOCKER CHARGE?
.80 -1.05 cents/lbs. Depends on weight of beef, type of cuts, patties, tenderize, etc
