NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR 2025 SUMMER/FALL BEEF
Crooked Tree Ranch is proud to offer the sale of grass-fed beef in half and whole packages. Butcher reservations are placed at time of order and all processed beef undergoes a 2-week hanging time.
Prices fluctuate based on market demand. Beef is sold based on hanging weight with buyers paying their own processing charges according to custom order.

- After processing, wrapped cuts (including hamburger) will typically total approximately 350 lb.

- The resulting cuts will feed a family four for 225 – 250 meals, lasting nearly 2 years. For a family of 6, this will last approximately 18 months.

* Requested hides and some organ meats must be picked up from the processor at an earlier date due to limited storage capabilities. This will require an additional trip for pick up by the buyer.
