BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF TWO DIFFERENT ANIMALS PROCESSED. ANIMAL “R” AND ANIMAL “S”

*This is only an estimate. Due to the fact that beef comes from individual cattle and all cows are shaped differently, your amount will be more or less and your final price will be based on the hanging weight less your deposit. Hanging weight for a half cow ranges between 325-425 pounds. The take home weight averages 60-70% of the hanging weight for bone it processing. Less if you have a lot of boneless trim. The take home weight is what’s left after the butcher removes bone, unwanted fat and undesirable parts. Often called the retail weight. At Twisted Ash Farm & Dairy we offer Whole Beef, 1/2 Beef, 1/4 Beef, 1/8 Beef and also Beef Bundles.

Freezer Space Estimated Requirements:

  • Whole Beef - 18-22 Cubic Feet
  • Half Beef - 9-11 Cubic Feet
  • Quarter Beef - 3.5-5.5 Cubic Feet

RAWMI vs Grade A PMO State Inpected

RAWMI vs Grade A PMO State Inpected

Low Risk or High Risk Raw Milk - You get to choose At Twisted Ash Farm & Dairy we follow the RAWMI Standards for producing Low Risk Raw Milk. We also test daily before its sold in our on farm lab. I wanted to take some time to offer some of my knowledge on GRADE A, AKA, PMO/State Inspected standards (high risk) compared to what RAWMI standards (Low Risk) are. Grade A/PMO/State Inspected milk is produced with the intention to pasteurize the milk and kill bacteria and pathogens. It's sometimes being offered and sold as raw milk before its pasteurized which can be a high risk that leads to problems since milk produced under the Grade A standards does not produce low risk raw milk. RAWMI or Raw Milk Institute has helped lead the raw milk community with proven standards that produce low risk raw milk.
