Bulk Buying Guide

Stocking Up Made Easy
Never bought beef in bulk before? Or maybe you're a bulking pro but new to us? Don't worry! Below, you'll find our simple step-by-step guide, pricing, and a FAQ so you won't be left guessing.
The Process

Step 1
Make a Deposit
To start an order, you must purchase a non-refundable deposit that goes towards your order total.
We offer three bulk beef buying options—quarter, half, and whole—so you can choose what works best for your family and freezer space.

Step 2
Final Payment is Due
Once your beef is weighed, an invoice will be sent to the email used to purchase the deposit, and payment will be due immediately to proceed with the order.

step 3
Choosing Your Cuts
If you purchased a half or whole order, our butcher will call you to discuss your preferred cuts.
If your availability is limited and you'd like to set a specific time for us to contact you, please feel free to email us to schedule a call!

step 4
Pick Up Your Beef
Our butcher will call you when your beef is ready for pickup, which is typically around 10-15 days after you choose your cuts.
We don't offer shipping, but we provide delivery in the LC Valley and from Spokane to Boise upon request!

Could I get any bones with my order as well?
Of course! The butcher can provide dog bones and soup bones upon request. Dogs love them, and soup bones are perfect for making bone broth.
How is everything packaged?
Each cut of meat is carefully wrapped, labeled, and frozen, ensuring it's ready for extended freezer storage. There won't be any guesswork, ever!
What’s the best way to defrost my meat before cooking?
Thaw steaks in the refrigerator for 2-3 days for optimal results. For ground beef, the best methods are thawing on the counter or in cold water.
Never microwave as tempting as it may be!
What cuts are included in a quarter/half/whole beef?
For bulk orders of half and whole beef, you can choose the specific cuts and thicknesses you want. For a quarter beef, the cuts are standard and pre-selected. The butcher will contact you after payments have been received to discuss what kind of cuts you would like.
Do you offer payment plans for bulk buying?
We can discuss payment options for bulk orders if needed. Please contact us to work out a plan.
