We are selling four (4) shares (1/2 of the cow each) of our last two Jersey/Hereford crosses. These cows have never been given antibiotics, growth hormones or chemicals. They have been grass-fed (our pastures and winter hay are pesticide free) their whole lives with a bit of grain each morning to keep them tame.
- We are charging $4 per lb/hanging weight, each share is estimated to be between 200-300 lbs before butchering. This should yield you 120-150 lbs of beef to put into the freezer (about 6-8 cubic feet).
- Live weight includes hooves, skin and organs; hanging weight is bones, fat, and muscle after slaughtering; butchering weight is cut up and is about 60% of the hanging weight.
- If that is too much beef, let us know and we’ll try to match you up with another person so you’ll get ½ share each (about 60-75 lbs).
- Shares will be available at the end of February. Eagle Bridge needs to dry age 21 days before they package and freeze the meat.
- Two of the shares are from a cow older than 24 months, so no bones with her (this means tenderloin instead of porterhouse, no rib steaks, etc.).
- Proudly processed and slaughtered by Eagle Bridge Smokehouse in Eagle Bridge, NY.
If interested, please e-mail me at j.thompson@hvcc.edu and we will send you a cut sheet and details to get started.
