The actual hanging weight at harvest sets the final price.
How the price is worked out
Hanging weight is the weight of the carcass after harvest and before it is cut. You pay us the per-pound price above for every pound. A heavier animal costs more. A lighter one costs less.
Matt's Custom Meats in Longview, WA cuts and wraps your beef and bills you separately. The charge is $1.10 per pound of hanging weight, plus $50 for each quarter of the animal for the mobile harvest. You pay them by cash or check.
Your deposit comes off the balance you owe us. We know the final amounts once the animal is weighed at harvest in October/November.
Who you are buying from
Jeremy, Kallie, Debbie, Jameson, and Madalyn raise the cattle on Youngs River Road, southeast of Astoria. Every share is custom cut and wrapped by Matt's Custom Meats.
