WELCOME TO FLAT CREEK CATTLE COMPANY
MARKETERS OF WHOLESOME, 100%
PASTURE FED / Grain Finished
british white beef
Flat creek cattle company provides affordable 100% grass-fed/Grain-finished beef by the half or whole directly to consumers.
All beef we sell are 100% grass-fed and Grain-finished, having received no hormones or implants. we also feed stored forages like hay.
WHEN ARE BEEFS AVAILABLE?
We try to market our beef between the end of May and OCTOBER. The reason for this is that the ratio of omega–3 to omega-6 fatty acids in the animal are more favorable while the animals are consuming green grass. The proportion of omega-3 fatty acids declines the longer the animal is consuming dried grass or hay. It takes about 90 days of not consuming green forage to lose the favorable ratio.
HOW WE MARKET OUR BEEF.
FLAT CREEK CATTLE COMPANY markets live beef directly to our customers before the animal is taken to the processor. If, for example TWO customers want a HALF of beef, then when the beef is delivered to the processor, it has TWO owners. We cannot sell meat already processed. We deliver the animal to the processor the day of slaughter free of charge.
Once the beef is killed and a hanging weight is obtained, we notify the owners of the hanging weight and an invoice is sent by us. The hanging weight is the weight of the animal after the removal of the head, feet, hide, tail and internal organs (including the tongue, heart and liver).
While the meat “cures” for 10 to 21 days in the cooler, the customer decides how the meat is to be cut and wrapped. This includes the size of roasts, thickness of steaks, whether bones are left in roasts or cut out, the percentage of fat in the ground beef, whether the customer wants the heart, liver, tongue, tail, soup bones, etc.
Each HALF contains equal portions of both the front and hindquarters.
We pay for all butchering and wrapping charges, except any specialty cuts you may select.
The hanging weight of one of our beef SHOULD generally run between 400 and 500 pounds. So, as an example, for an animal with a hanging weight of 500 pounds, a half beef will average 250 lbs . The cut and wrapped portion (after bones and excess fat are removed) is approximately 70% of the hanging weight. A half beef may occupy about 7 to 8 cubic feet of freezer space.
current prices for the steer scheduled for 10.10.22 butcher appt. is $5 per pound per hanging weight.
