Frequently Asked Questions

What is the terminology?2024-09-03T18:39:58-05:00

When interested in bulk beef, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the terminology associated with the process.

Live Weight – the actual weight of the steer when we take the animal to the processing facility
Carcass Weight – the animal’s weight after all material is removed and ready to dry age for 14+ days.

How is bulk beef priced?2024-09-03T18:40:46-05:00

Bulk beef is sold on carcass weight and is a flat rate per pound. This rate is determined by market price at time of purchase.

Carcass Weight x Market Price Per Pound = Buyer Total
The processing facility charges a processing fee, but Flying C Ranch covers this fee for the buyer.
