Many Cuts from the same primal - sorry, you cannot have it all!

1/30/2020

The portion cuts are what makes up your order. These cuts are wrapped in butcher paper, stamped (identify what's in the package on the outside of the package) and flash frozen - all based on your cutting instructions.

Sounds simple but here's the thing: many cuts of beef come from the same area of the primal - which means for instance, you cannot get a T-Bone Steak and Strip Steaks at the same time! But you can get Tenderloin and Strip Steaks!

Not only that, but one cut of beef can have several different names for example, a Strip Steak can also be called a NY Strip, KC Strip, or Hotel steak, just to name a few!. This causes problems when navigating through our cutting instructions. Talk about confusion!

What is a side versus a split???

1/28/2020

Beef = a whole beef has 2 Sides – each Side can be custom cut to different specifications or the whole beef can be custom cut to the same specifications. (That’s a lot of beef!)
Side = (1/2 a Beef) – your order is custom cut to your specifications
Split Side = This order is usually shared between two groups (i.e. 2 families) where the Side is custom cut to specification but its divided or split into two orders with cuts from the front and hind quarters making up each order.
Split or Mixed Quarter = If you do not have someone to “share” with, we will still fill your Split order but customization is limited as we will need to find the other “Split” order with similar characteristics as yours. (confused yet? Just ask!)

Sorry, as a rule, we do not offer Front Quarters or Hind Quarters
