Choices
Rolling Acres Angus beef is processed at Blankenship Farms Meat Processing, a high-quality meat processor and butcher shop. The beef is then dry aged for 14-21 days which provides additional flavor and tenderness. Steers are processed at 800-850 pounds, which is smaller than industry standards but produces more tender beef. An 800-pound steer will net approximately 300-325 pounds of beef.
We use standard cuts and packaging but for custom orders are glad to provide additional options (thicker steaks, more ground beef instead of roasts, etc). Beef cuts are sold as a quarter, half, or whole beef. Below is the approximate pounds of cuts per order type. For simplicity, we standardize orders so customers know exactly how much they will be receiving. While the total amount will always be the same, the exact amounts of each cut might vary slightly.
| Whole | Half | Quarter | |
| Ground beef | 160 | 80 | 40 |
| Filet | 5 | 2 | 1 |
| NY strip | 24 | 12 | 6 |
| Ribeye | 20 | 10 | 5 |
| Sirloin | 20 | 10 | 5 |
| Round/Stew roast | 35 | 18 | 9 |
| Chuck roast | 20 | 10 | 5 |
| Rump roast | 8 | 4 | 2 |
| Short ribs | 8 | 4 | 2 |
| Total lbs of custom beef: | 300 | 150 | 75 |
