Experience the superior taste of Sherman Mercantile Beef, born and raised right here on our farm in KY. Our cattle are grass-fed and grain-finished, giving you the perfect balance of healthy, pasture-raised lean meat and that rich, buttery marbling you can only get from a grain finish. How Our Shares Work: We butcher on a rolling basis, typically processing two beefs per month. When you reserve a share, you aren’t just buying meat; you are securing a harvest date for a premium animal raised with care. What You Get: Whole Beef- Roughly 400 lbs of beef for your freezer. Half Beef- Roughly 200 lbs of beef for your freezer. Fully Customizable: You don't just get a "standard" box. Once you reserve your share, we will provide a custom cut sheet. You decide how thick you want your steaks, what roasts you prefer, and how much ground beef you need! Pricing & Process: If the listing shows "Out of Stock," we are fully booked for the current month. Please message us to get on the waitlist for the following month! The $500 deposit secures your spot (the deposit is the same for a half or whole). Final price is $5.50 per pound based on the hanging weight and will be settled prior to pickup. For a whole beef, you can expect to pay around $4,000 total. To streamline the process, we pay the processing fees and transportation to/from the butcher. FAQ: -How much freezer space do I need? For a whole, I typically suggest having a 15-20 cubic feet large chest freezer. -How long can I expect to wait for my beef after making the deposit? We try to commit to a 3 week turn-around, but this does depend on the time of the month the order is placed, butcher availability, and how long the meat "hangs". We do AT LEAST a 14 day hang for beef, and can extend that to 21 days upon request. Rest assured- you will be kept in the loop throughout the process. *Please note we are currently booking for MARCH through MAY dates*
