How Your Beef Is Packaged

All meat is:

  • Professionally butchered
  • Vacuum-sealed for long freezer life
  • Labeled by cut
  • Frozen immediately for freshness

Vacuum sealing provides excellent protection against freezer burn and keeps beef fresh for up to 2 years.

Why Weights May Vary

Every animal is naturally different, so packaged weights can vary based on:

  • Animal size
  • Bone and fat composition
  • Butcher trim style
  • Steak thickness and roast sizing

Your total will typically land close to the averages listed above.
