Grass-fed Beef

No grain, ever!

Processing charges, depending on hanging weight and cutting orders, will also be paid to the butcher.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does it cost?  Total cost to you will be about $8.00 per lb. for everything: the hamburger and stew meat to the best steaks and roasts.  This includes our charges and the butcher charges.

How much meat will I get?  Depending on how large the animal is, a quarter will hang between 100 and 150 lbs.  Of that you should bring home about 67%, or 67-100 lbs., depending upon your cutting orders and how many boneless cuts you order.

How much space will it take up?  A good rule of thumb is that 50 lbs. of meat will take up about 2.25 cubic feet. So a 12 cubic foot freezer could hold about 250 lbs. of meat.

What is the total cost?  A small quarter (100#) will total around $525.00 to $575.00 and large one (150#) about $675.00-725.00.

Where do I pick up my meat?  We deliver the animals to the butcher and you pick up your cut & wrapped meat at Cedar Dell Angus Meats in Alexandria Bay, orRed Barn Meats on Briott Rd. in Croghan NY, depending upon which butcher we are able to get a date with.  You pay the butcher the processing charges at the time of pickup.

Grass-fed Goat

Our organically fed 100% grass-fed goat is a natural, low fat, high protein meat. Interestingly, outside of the U.S., it is more widely eaten than beef. Our goats are mixtures of Boer, Kiko, and various milk breeds. Normally harvested between 35 and 70 lbs live weight, the meat is tender and delicious. We have USDA inspected cuts available year-round which may include stew, ground, rack of goat, shanks, and organs.

If purchasing in bulk, please note that you are purchasing a live animal. Payment of $3.00/lb is made to Cross Island Farms, based on live weight, plus your share of transport to the butcher, with a minimum down payment of $75 per animal to reserve your goat. Regular payments will be required as your goat grows. Roaster goats are also available. You pay the butcher the processing charges, which will vary depending on the hanging weight, cutting orders, and how much (if any) you want smoked. Contact Us for more information!

Our organically fed pastured pigs are born right here on Cross Island Farms and fed organic grain, vegetables, fruit, and pasture. With plenty of fresh air and sunshine, they are allowed to run and play, eat a natural diet, and wallow in the mud as pigs do!
