How It Works
- Reserve your spot. Email us with the size you want (quarter, half, or whole). We'll reply with how to pay your deposit ($100, $200, or $400) by check, cash, Venmo, or PayPal. Your spot is held once we receive it.
- Plan your cuts. When we drop your animal off, we give the processor your phone number, and they'll call you to go over your cut sheet. View the D&T's Meat Market cut sheet
- Processing. Your beef goes to our local processor.
- Pick up. Your beef is ready for pickup at the processor 10–14 days after drop-off. Your final balance is due when your beef is ready for pickup. We don't offer delivery.
2027 Pricing
We sell beef by the hanging weight, not by the individual cut.
| Share | Price per lb (hanging weight) | Typical hanging weight | Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quarter | $4.00 | 175–225 lb | $100 |
| Half | $3.90 | About twice a quarter | $200 |
| Whole | $3.80 (best value) | About four times a quarter | $400 |
Your deposit holds your spot and is applied to your final balance. The balance (hanging weight × price per pound, minus your deposit) is due when your beef is ready for pickup. Processing fees are paid directly to the processor. Deposits are non-refundable. If we ever have to cancel your reservation, we'll refund your deposit in full.
Example: a 200 lb quarter at $4.00 per pound is $800. Minus your $100 deposit, $700 is due at pickup, plus the processor's fees. Prices are subject to change.
We accept cash, check, Venmo, or PayPal (please choose Friends and Family). Your invoice must be paid in full before you pick up your beef, and a 10% fee is added if it isn’t paid within 15 days of the invoice date.

Buying in bulk allows you to experience the quality of South Dakota pasture-raised, grass-fed beef at an affordable price while supporting local farming and regenerative agriculture.
How We Raise Our Cattle
We're third-generation cattle producers. Since 2020, what began as beef for friends and family has grown into a trusted source of 100% grass-fed beef for families throughout South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa.
- Grass-fed and grass-finished. Our cattle are on pasture through the grazing season. In winter, when they aren't grazing, they're fed high-quality hay with a grain-free protein supplement. Grain is never part of their diet.
- Raised with care. We provide chelated minerals, sea salt, and protein at key times throughout the year to keep the herd healthy. Our cattle are handled low-stress, which is a real part of why the beef eats as tender as it does.
- No growth hormones. We never use growth hormones or synthetic insecticides.
- Raised regeneratively. We believe in working with nature, not against it. Caring well for the land and the animals is at the heart of everything we do.
The same herd gives us the tallow for our hand-whipped tallow skincare. Learn more about our family and ranch, or read stories from the ranch.
