After a winter of slogging through the snow and ice, every living thing falling down at least once, it is a time of year we and the animals really look forward to. But like everything else in farming, it is not all peaches and cream. We hope you enjoy the link below.

How much meat will I receive? What is hanging weight? How many steaks do I get? How much freezer space do I need? And the list goes on. We found the link below to be a very helpful source in answering your questions and helping in the decision as to whether or not a side is good for you and your family.

Whole Beef and Pork Buying Guide

We keep a side of beef  and whole pig for ourselves (2 adults) . The beef side lasts us for 16 to 17 months and the whole pork 9 months. We eat beef once a week, entertain, and will give away (rarely) a cut here and there.  The meat is frozen fresh and vacuumed packaged. After 16 months, it is as good as the day it was packaged.
