100% TRUE GRASS FED BEEF
At Lovell Grass Fed Cattle Company, our beef is truly grass fed and grass finished on our certified organic pastures. We sell Angus cattle that are born and raised on our farm and are 100% grass fed from start to finish. They are free-range and graze on our organic pastures comprised of tall fescue, perennial rye grass, white clover, red clover and native grasses. Our herd drinks from natural spring fed water troughs and are given organic Fertrell minerals, organic Redmond sea salt and organic kelp. Our cattle are NEVER fed any grain or given any growth hormones or steroids.
We are proud to be certified by the American Grassfed Association and our pastures are certified organic by the State of Maryland.
HOW TO ORDER
We sell our beef by the half or the whole and our prices are based on the live weight. Currently, our beef prices are $2.85 per pound for a side of beef (half) and $2.70 per pound for a whole. On average, our heifers and steers weigh 1000-1250 pounds at harvest time. We harvest our animals throughout the year and use Wagner’s Meats in Mt. Airy, MD to harvest and custom cut the beef. Wagner’s Meats is an eighteen minute drive from our farm which enables us to deliver the animals the morning of harvest for less stress on the animal. If you are interested in placing an order please email Katy at lovellbeef@gmail . com for availability and to get information on where to send the deposit.
We require a deposit of $500 to reserve a half and $650 to reserve a whole. On the day of harvest we weigh the steer or heifer and send an invoice for the remaining balance. The beef is dry aged for a minimum of 21 days and is custom cut to your specifications, flash frozen and vacuum sealed.
Wagner Meats is paid directly by you for the processing, dry aging, custom cutting and vacuum packaging. Presently, the charge is $0.95 a pound based on the hanging weight and a $65.00 per head processing charge or $32.50 for a half and an offal charge of $20 for a whole and $10 for a half.
Here is an example of the cost of a half cow:
Half steer- 500 pounds @ $2.85 per pound= $1,425.00 payable to Lovell Grass Fed Cattle Co.
Wagner’s bill:
$0.95 per pound of the hanging weight of 255 pounds + $42.50 processing fee/offal charge = $284.75 payable to Wagner’s.
Grand total for a half : $ 1709.75
Take home weight is approximately 195 pounds depending on how you cut your beef (bone-in cuts, organ meats, etc).
The cost is approximately $8.77 per pound for all of the cuts of beef.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How much meat do I take home from the processor? 40% of the actual weight of the steer or heifer will be your take home weight. The take home weight will vary depending on how you cut your beef—if you have bone-in cuts, organ meats, etc.
How much freezer space do I need? 9 cubic feet for a half (side) of beef. A good rule of thumb is 1 cubic feet of freezer space per 25-30 pounds of beef.
How is the beef packaged? Is the packaging BPA free? The meat is vacuum sealed it in BPA free packaging and flash frozen.
Do you sell individual cuts of beef, bones, tallow or organ meats? No, we only sell by the half or the whole. Customers pick up their beef directly from the butcher.
Can you purchase your beef at stores? Sorry, but our beef is not available in stores—we only sell in bulk —by the whole or the half.
Do you offer shipping? We cannot offer shipping of our beef at this time.
