Upfront ownership pricing

Clear prices.
No guessing.

Choose the ownership share that fits your household and freezer. Processing is estimated separately and explained clearly before purchase.

Pricing at a glance

Your estimated total has two parts.

Fixed live-animal ownership price plus your share of processing. The final charge is based on hanging weight and confirmed after harvest.

What processing includesHarvest · 14-day aging · cutting · wrapping · vacuum sealing · freezing

Processing is estimated separately and divided by ownership share: whole 100%, half 50% and quarter 25%. Final charges depend on the animal’s hanging weight, transportation and any owner-requested specialty services. Your estimate is confirmed before purchase.
