Step 2: Choose your portion size

$12.99 / KG Dressed Weight

Pricing is based on "dressed weight"

What is “dressed weight? and why is it important?

When buying a side (or quarter) of a cow/sheep etc, the final weight you receive will be less than the total listed by the farmer.

Dressed weight, otherwise known as “hanging weight” is the weight of the carcass after the animal as been killed and the head, blood and offal removed.

So this dressed weight includes all the meat, fat and bones from the “side” of an animal.

From here, the butcher will prepare your “side” or “quarter” based on your specifications.

Some loss of weight can occur through the process of “dry aging” where the meat is allowed to safely “age” this helps to tenderize the meat, but results in some weight loss.

The cut specifications can also have an impact on your final weight, for example, T-bones with bone out will weigh less than bone in.

Dressed weight is used as it is the “most fair” and “most correct” method of weighing an animal for processing.

On average, “boxed weight” can be anywhere from 20% to 30% less than dressed weight.

With Farmer to Fridge, it’s important to understand exactly what you’re buying.

Unlike a supermarket where you can choose specific cuts, a whole animal will come with a range of meat cuts. 

The choices below help the butcher prepare your mixed portion to be as close as possible to your specifications.

For 1/4 and 1/8th portion purchases, you’ll recieve a ‘mixed quarter’ where you’ll get an allocation of meat from each ‘section’ of the cow. For 1/2 and whole sides, this is more straightforward. 

On average each carcass has approximately

  • 29% chuck 
  • 9% Ribs
  • 16% loin
  • 22% Round
  • 19% Thin (flank, skirt, brisket, stew meat, mince)
  • 5% miscellaneous

With each side / quarter beef you will get generous portion of mince and sausages. These are created from off-cuts from your side of beef, to ensure you get as much as usable meat as possible!

We took a trip to one of our local farmers and weighed out a side of beef. This should give you a rough idea as to what you’ll get in each pack.

The following was produced from a dressed weight of approximately 120kg / side.

Packing Options *

The butcher will use a combination of trays, bags and cryovac storage depending on the cut of meat.

Packed for 2 Packed for 3

Cut Sheet Selections

This is where you tell the butcher how they should prepare each part of your cow.

Regardless of whether you order a 1/4, or a whole cow, you’ll get a selection of each cut. The more quarters you order, the more of each cut you’ll receive.

The overall price won’t change, unless your selection requires more work by the butcher. These extra costs are indicated beneath each option if applicable.

Silverside *

Silverside of beef is a large, lean, boneless cut of meat with a course grained texture. It is mostly used for pickling and is known as ‘Corned Silverside’ and is taken from the hind quarter of the animal, between the rump and the leg.

1x Corned/picked & 1 roast

Topside *

Topside of beef is a large, lean cut. Both topside and silverside are taken from the hind quarter of the animal, between the rump and leg. The topside muscle, being both lean and quite tender, makes an excellent roasting joint.

Roast

Round *

The beef round is a large primal cut consisting mainly of the rear leg and rump of the animal. They’re also very lean since most of the fat on a beef cow is deposited toward the front of the animal.

Sliced

Eye Fillet *

The fillet is a very tender steak muscle which comes from the lower middle of the back and forms part of the sirloin. The fillet muscle is so tender because it does the least work.

Steak

Rump *

From stir-fries to steak, it is widely available and features in many favourite dishes. Rump steak is taken from the rump section of the hindquarter.

Sliced

Sirloin/ Porterhouse *

Crosscut from the forward section of the short loin on a steer’s middle back, a T-bone steak contains a strip of the top loin and a chunk of tenderloin, both desired cuts on their own

T-Bone in ( still gives you some porterhouse)

Shin *

A well flavoured cut from the leg.

Osso Bucco

Oyster *

Oyster steak is a small cut of beef taken from above the backbone on the rump of the cow.

Roast

Brisket *

When slow-cooked, brisket becomes very tasty and immensely tender and popular as pulled beef brisket.

Brisket is also a great slow roasting joint that requires minimal effort, making it ideal for creating an unforgettable Sunday roast

There is also the option of short ribs that are a super slow cooked and BBQ favourite ( whole or 1/2 side only)

Rolled Beef Brisket

Rib Roast/Scotch *

Crosscut from the forward section of the short loin on a steer’s middle back, a T-bone steak contains a strip of the top loin and a chunk of tenderloin, both desired cuts on their own. If the bone is kept in you will get T/bone steak and some porterhouse steak but less Eye fillet cuts. ( whole or 1/2 side of beef only)

Steak (scotch)

Blade *

Blade steak, sometimes called top blade, is a steak cut from a muscle in the beef chuck primal cut, specifically the top blade (or infraspinatus) muscle. Blade steaks are made by cutting directly across the top blade muscle, which is actually pretty tender. There’s a lot of beefy flavour in a blade steak and it’s relatively inexpensive. If it’s cooked properly, it can be a delicious and tender piece of meat.

Steak

Chuck *

Beef chuck is an economical cut with a great texture. Although it is often (unfairly) packaged as low-quality stew beef, chuck is actually one of the most flavoursome beef cuts available. Chuck comes from the neck and shoulder area of the cow.

Diced/ stewing

When preparing your beef, the butcher will make mince & sausages from all the off cuts and trimmings of your cow. This is included free with your order. All snags are gluten free. Mince burgers are an option if you prefer them- this where you choose.

I understand

If you don’t need or want the bones, you can select so here. However please remember that you’re buying the animal as “dressed weight” and these are included with your purchase price.

None Bones ( usually a good small bag) No bones
