WHY THIS MEAT IS DEVINE

Levi knows his shit. But he wouldn't use that word.

Levi Stoltzfus is a really good farmer. He should be. He was put to work in the field and barn as soon as he could keep a straw hat on his head. His gaming chair was a milking stool. He raises his beeves old school. No chemicals or drugs. He talks to them. And when they get out of hand, he doesn't even swear. If you were a beef steer you could do a lot worse than hanging out with Levi and his family.

What you're buying:

Grass-fed and grass-finished beef. Raised on God's green earth by someone who believes in it. No grain, no growth hormones, no routine antibiotics or medicated feed. Processed locally at Sailer's Meats in Elmwood, with standard cutting and packaging included and custom cutting available.

  • Pastures aren't treated with herbicides or synthetic fertilizer
  • No chemical dewormers

Quarter beef — usually about $1,095 total

$8.75 a pound hanging weight, processing included. A typical quarter hangs around 125 pounds and comes home as 75–85 pounds of packaged beef — ground beef, steaks, roasts, cut the way you want them or to Sailer's standard.

A few times a year we open the farm for something that isn't beef at all: Check back later when we've decided what to do.

The practical case for buying in bulk

A quarter beef fills your freezer with the stuff you actually cook — everyday ground meat, weekend steaks, a few roasts that force you to slow down on a Sunday. It also means fewer trips to the store for meat, and you know exactly whose hands raised it.

Beef quarter, at a glance

~75–85 lbs packaged · roughly half ground beef, the rest steaks and roasts · 3–4 cubic feet of freezer space · about $1,095 total on a 125-lb hanging quarter.

How ordering works

Reserve your share with a $200 deposit. Before processing, tell us how you want it cut, or just say "standard" and let Sailer's handle it. We calculate your final price off the actual hanging weight — that's the only number that matters once the animal's on the truck. Pick up your frozen, labeled order and bring coolers.

Price transparency

What "hanging weight" means: the carcass weight right after slaughter, before it's cut into steaks, roasts, and ground meat. Bone, trim, and moisture loss mean your packaged take-home weight comes in lower.

A typical beef quarter: about 125 pounds hanging weight. 125 × $8.75 = $1,093.75. That comes home as roughly 75–85 pounds of packaged beef, depending on how you want it cut.

We price by hanging weight because every animal is a different size and every customer cuts differently. You get a real range before you reserve, not a guess.

Pickup or delivery

However you get your order, it comes frozen, labeled, and ready for the freezer.

Farm story

Two small farms. One careful way of raising food.

The animals move through a tight network: Crazy Rooster Farm and Levi's Farm. Each one contributes pasture, labor, and daily attention. It's small enough that someone actually notices when something's off in the herd or the weather turns.

This isn't meat that passed through six hands before it reached you. It's raised nearby, by people we know, and cut by a fifth-generation local processor.

Reservations close when we're out, or on September 30, whichever comes first.

All weights, yields, and totals are estimates. Final price is based on actual hanging weight. Packaged yield varies by animal and cutting instructions. Specialty processing costs extra.
