“We started buying from DSR because we wanted a healthy and safe source of food for our family. With prices being so unstable at the grocery stores, it’s nice to know we can buy directly from your ranch and lock in our prices each year at a discount.”

Pricing 

The price for our grass-fed beef is based on the hanging weight, and the fees paid to the processor are also based on the hanging weight. This is for cutting and wrapping, which is sometimes referred to as butcher fees.

Hanging weight is the most widely used measurement by processors and direct-to-market ranchers. Hanging weight refers to the weight of the beef after the initial harvesting of the steer but, before final cutting and trimming after it has been dry-aged. This is sometimes also referred to as the hot carcass weight or dressed weight.

• $6.00/lb whole beef
• $6.25/lb half beef

Processing fees: (Subject to change by our processor and updated as needed)
