We sell cattle and sheep after weaning, growing and finishing - usually at 24-29 months for cattle and 5-7 months for lamb.

Processing is ~$500.00 per head; all in your beef will USUALLY cost between $5 and $6 per pound  - for all cuts - steaks, rib roasts, tenderloin, roasts, ground beef.  You will need 13-15 cubic feet of freezer space for a whole Dexter beef.  For more details click here.
