Common questions answered about
buying our grass fed and finished beef

1What does grass fed and finished mean?
Grass fed and finished means that throughout its life, once it has been weaned off milk, the cow has only eaten grass. Nothing else.

Many farms raise their cow on grass, and then send them to be finished on feedlots, where the cows are fattened on grain. In fact, many farmers feel it is OK say that your beef is grass fed even if it had eaten nothing but grain for its last 3 months. WE NEVER DO THIS. Our cows are 100% grass fed AND FINISHED.
2Do you farm organically?
We follow regenerative and organic practices on our farm. Nutrient Density is not linked to the farming practice (eg. Organic) but directly linked to the health of the soil. We farm for soil health, our microbes are partying beneath our feet and our certified grass-fed and finished beef graze diverse pasture species. So if you’re eating our beef, you’re doing life right!
3Do you deliver to the whole of Tasmania?
We deliver to a common drop-off point at central locations MONTHLY: Smithton, Wynyard, Devonport, Deloraine, Launceston, Campbelltown and Hobart
4How do I know how much the cow weighs?
Each animal weight is different. Our dressed quarters weight typically 60-70kg, and are $17/kg. Sides commonly weight 120-130kg and are $16/kg. And whole cows are around 240-260kg and are $15.50/kg. Once the animal is processed, we will let you know the weight for your order.
5What does dressed / hanging weight mean?
The hanging weight, also known as the dressed weight, is the weight of the carcass after initial slaughter. It excludes the weight of the head, the hide, hooves and internal organs. The animal is chilled overnight after slaughtering, and weighed the next morning. This weight is the hanging, or dressed weight.
6What kind of cuts can I have?
Mixed Quarters are standardized, please see . For sides and whole cows, please download our cut sheet here for your selection of cutting options.
7How much will my order cost?
The cost of your order depends on whether you have selected to buy a quarter, side, or the whole cow. Also, each animal weight is different. Our dressed quarters weight typically 60-70kg, and are $17/kg. Sides commonly weight 120-130kg and are $16/kg. And whole cows are around 240-260kg and are $15.50/kg. When you place an order, you pay a deposit to secure the meet. Once your animal is processed, we will email you with the hanging / dressed weight of the animal, and the total cost. One week before delivery, you will receive an invoice with bank deposit, PayPal and Pay in 4 payment options.
8Where are the animals processed?
To avoid long and stressful transporting, all our animals are processed in a local abattoir.
9Do your cows get vaccinated and drenched?
No, they do not.
10Where do the animals spend their lives?
Our cows spend their entire lives on green pastures on the North West Tasmania. They are NEVER fed grain, or anything else aside from grass that they freely graze on our regeneratively and organically managed pastures.
11How soon will I receive my order after paying the deposit?
We advise planning ahead and to allow for 2 to 4 weeks. This takes to count the hanging time, abattoir availability and delivery to a pickup point.
12Does grass fed beef taste better?
We definitely think so! And we hope that you will find this to be the case also. Since all our beef is covered by our NO QUIBBLE REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE, there really is no reason not to try it for yourself.
13Where else can I buy your beef?
