How Purchasing Our Bulk Beef Works

Buying beef in bulk is the most rewarding, cost-effective way to feed your family, but the process looks a little different than a standard grocery store run. We believe in 100% transparency, so here is exactly how your beef goes from our Nebraska pastures to your family freezer.

Step 1. Secure Your Share with a Deposit:

To reserve your beef, you will place a non-refundable deposit through our website. This secures your animal for our upcoming harvest cycle and allows us to schedule your processing slot.

  • Whole Beef Deposit: $500

  • 1/2 Beef Deposit: $400

  • 1/4 Beef Deposit: $200

  • Mini Side Deposit: $200

  • Protein Box Deposit: $150

Step 2. The Harvest & 'Hanging Weight' Calculation:

Once the animal is humanely harvested, it is weighed at our local, artisanal butcher shop before being dry-aged. This is called the Hanging Weight, and it is the standard industry baseline we use to calculate your final price.

Our price is all-inclusive, meaning we completely absorb the butcher's harvest fees, cutting, and vacuum-seal packaging costs so you never get a surprise bill.

  • Whole Beef: Base price of $8.50/lb hanging weight (Avg. weight: 800lbs)

    1/2 Beef: Base price of $9.00/lb hanging weight (Avg. weight: 385 lbs)

  • 1/4 Beef: Base price of $9.25/lb hanging weight (Avg. weight: 200 lbs)

  • Mini Side: Base price of $13.98/lb package weight for 50-55 lbs

  • Protein Box: Price of $13.80/lb for 25 lbs

Step 3. Final Payment & Processing:

After your beef hangs to dry-age for optimal tenderness (usually 14 to 21 days), the butcher custom-cuts and vacuum-seals your individual portions. We will send you your final invoice based on the exact hanging weight, minus your initial deposit. Once the final invoice is paid, your beef is ready for delivery.

Step 4. Regional Delivery & Pickup:

We don't ship nationwide (yet!) to save you from heavy freight costs. Instead, we bring the beef directly to you via our regional community drop routes. We will coordinate a specific date, time, and location to meet you and transfer your frozen, boxed beef straight into your vehicle,

How does delivery/pick-up work?

We make getting your beef simple and convenient.

Customers can meet us at one of our scheduled centralized community pick-up hubs within 250 miles of Bassett Nebraska. Do you live outside of our 250-mile delivery area and want Sandhills beef delivered to your area? We deliver to our kids and other family members across the country routinely each year. Contact us and we will make arrangements to deliver your beef when we are near your home. Some areas include Phoenix Arizona, Helena, Montana, Port Charlotte, Florida, Boulder, Colorado, Madisonville, Kentucky, panhandle of Oklahoma, several locations in Wyoming, and all along the routes.

Watch for Protein Boxes in the future that will be shipped to your door!
