Description

Bringing home a whole beef from Jenkins Farms means filling your freezer with premium Michigan raised beef from cattle finished for dependable yield, strong structure, and consistent flavor.

Why Buy a Whole Beef?

A whole beef provides a complete selection of premium and everyday cuts including ribeye, strip steak, sirloin, filet, brisket, chuck roasts, short ribs, stew meat, and a substantial supply of ground beef. Purchasing in bulk allows you to receive a full range of cuts at a blended price per pound while maintaining full transparency about your food source.

Buying directly from Jenkins Farms means:

• Transparent sourcing
• Cattle finished to marketplace weight standards
• Reliable yield and portion consistency
• Support for local Michigan agriculture
• A freezer stocked for months

What to Expect

Cattle typically finish between 1,300 and 1,500 lbs live weight, producing approximately 700 to 800 lbs hanging weight. After processing, customers generally take home between 420 and 480 lbs of professionally packaged beef depending on final cutting preferences.

With livestock and processing combined, customers typically average around $7.00 to $7.25 per pound of finished beef.

All meat is vacuum sealed, clearly labeled, and boxed for convenient storage.

Freezer Space Needed

A whole beef typically requires 16 to 20 cubic feet of freezer space, equal to a large chest freezer or a full upright freezer.

Processing time typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks depending on seasonal demand and butcher availability.
