From pasture to freezer: how your order works

1. 01

   Step 1 — Choose a quarter beef.

   Pick a quarter beef and fill out the reservation form. If we have inventory, you'll get a confirmation and deposit instructions.

2. 02

   Step 2 — Pay your deposit.

   $200 holds your order. It's applied to your final balance. Three ways to send it: Venmo @Jeff-Rabkin, a check mailed to Jeff Rabkin, 1232 Rolling Hills Trail, Hudson, WI 54016, or call (612) 382-1306 and we'll arrange it over the phone.

3. 03

   Step 3 — Send your cutting instructions.

   We'll send a cutting form and a deadline before processing. Pick your cuts and package sizes, or choose the standard cut. Specialty products are optional and billed separately.

4. 04

   Step 4 — The animal is processed.

   Everything goes to Sailer's Food Market & Meat Processing in Elmwood, Wisconsin. Sailer's records the official hanging weight — that number sets your final base price. Then it's aged, cut, packaged, labeled, frozen, and staged for pickup.

5. 05

   Step 5 — Final invoice.

   Beef: actual hanging weight × $8.75. Standard processing is already in that number. We subtract your deposit and add any specialty processing you picked.

6. 06

   Step 6 — Pickup.

   We'll contact you when it's ready. Pickup is in Hudson, WI. Bring real coolers — a typical quarter needs several large ones and about 3–4 cubic feet of freezer space at home.

Orders need to be picked up within the window we give you. If you can't make it, let us know and we'll do our best to arrange something.
