Ordering Information

Brookfield Farmer's MarketOrder today and you are reserving an animal in our current herd that will be ready within weeks. We're a small farm with a big commitment to our animals and our customers. We don't have processed inventory; we're raising them as you read this. Within a few days of your order, we'll tell you when we'll deliver your beef.

Please understand you're buying an animal, and final weights vary. Our price is based on the pre-processing (rail) weight. The actual weight you receive (table ready) will be less than the rail weight. Product weight decreases by approximately 35% from rail weight to table-ready.

Hand-Trimmed Cuts

Ney’s Big Sky provides a customized USDA Certified Cutting Service from a select Midwestern processing plant. The processing is done by experienced butchers who pride themselves on trimming all carcasses to our specifications and your cutting instructions. Custom cutting and trimming are an important key to delivering the highest quality beef to your table.

Estimated Carcass Yield

An average beef carcass weighs approximately 700 lbs. on the rail; thus ½ beef is 350 lbs. and ¼ beef is 175 lbs.

The cuts and approximate amounts from ¼ steer are as follows:

Arm Roast - 6 lbs.
Chuck (roast, steak or ground) - 12 lbs.
Short Ribs - 4 lbs.
Loin (ribeyes, roasts) - 6 lbs.
Sirloin (T-bones, strips, tenderloin) - 14 lbs.
Round (roasts, round steak, stew meat, cube steak, restaurant steaks) - 14 lbs.
90% Lean Ground Beef (1# tubes,ground beef patties, brats) - 40 lbs.
Total: 100 lbs. table ready beef from ¼ beef

Important Information! Please read Carefully!

Raising Natural BeefPricing Examples and other Key Information

With an average market (live or on hoof) weight of 1,150 lbs and the average yield of 62.2%, the typical steer will produce a 715 lb. (dressed weight) carcass. The dressed beef (or carcass) will yield approximately 569 lbs. of red meat and trim (take home meat - which includes the average weight of 27 lbs of variety meat: liver, heart, tongue, tripe, sweetbreads and brains) and 146 lbs of fat, bone and loss. This is roughly a yield of 80% from the dressed or hanging weight - this is for a VERY LEAN Beef. A High Quality, USDA Choice Beef will yield approximately 70% of the Hanging or Dressed Weight. The yield on the take home meat weight from the live weight of the (VERY LEAN) steer is approximately 50%.
