UNDERSTANDING BULK PRICING

What is Hanging Weight?
“Hanging weight” is the weight of the animal after the harvesting process which
removes the head, internal organs, hooves, and hide. You can expect a “take
home weight” in packaged meat of about 60%-70% of the hanging weight,
depending on the cuts you choose. Seven Creek Beef pricing for bulk buys will be on the hanging weight. 

  • Quarter of a side will approximately weight of 180 lbs. Fore and Hind quarters will be available.
  • Half of a side will approximately weight of 360 lbs.

These weights are approximations since every animal is different.
