ABOUT THE WEIGHT
HANGING WEIGHT
Our bulk beef is sold on hanging weight which is the weight of the carcass in the butcher's cooler. All of our beef is dry-aged for a minimum of 14 days to provide tender and flavourful products.
TAKE HOME WEIGHT
Take-home weight is the weight of the beef products you will take home once it is cut & and wrapped at the butcher's.
Take-home weight is less than hanging weight because your butcher will cut out excess bone, and fat, and gristle off of your meat.

EACH ANIMAL IS UNIQUE
Each individual animal is unique. Hanging weight, and take-home weight, will vary depending on the age, size, sex, and breed of the animal among other factors.
Your take-home weight is approximately 65% of the hanging weight depending on your cutting instructions.
For example, requesting boneless steaks will reduce your take-home weight compared to ordering rib and t-bone steaks.
