Custom Fed Beef.
For five generations, Beacon Hill Ranch has been home to cattle that our family has raised with an eye towards producing great beef while respecting the land, the cattle and those who consume our beef. Today the tradition continues incorporating current science, Hereford genetics and good animal husbandry. All designed to produce old-fashioned quality and flavor from beef that is bred to be leaner than in years past yet still full of flavor, tenderness and important nutrients.
Gourmet meals or burgers on the grill, whichever you choose, the meal will be great when made with custom fed beef from Beacon Hill Ranch. Utilizing an optimal combination of progressive genetics, thoughtful feeding, and old-fashioned dry aging and processing, our beef brings customers back to us time and again. While today’s supermarket beef supply only takes a few days to transition from beef “on the hoof” to beef “on the table”, BHR Beef is the delicious result of time and nature. Supermarket beef makes economic sense for retailers, but frequently yields beef that is missing the rich flavor of carefully fed and dry-aged beef.
BHR Beef is bred, custom fed, and dry-aged for ~21 days to maximize its intense flavor and tender texture. We feed our best steers to just the right weight and finish, ensuring tender, marbled beef that is full of flavor yet not fatty. You can be confident of the careful choices made in the production of BHR Beef.

Details.
Storage
Your beef will be flash frozen immediately after processing. We recommend that you store it in your freezer for no longer than 1 year. Careful selection of the quantity to be purchased will ensure your beef is consumed while in optimal condition.
*A whole steer will fill a 16 cu. foot chest freezer.
Pricing
Our prices reflect the quality we breed into every steer we feed, the care we take in developing and delivering a delicious and wholesome product to your table and the extra time involved in natural processes not commonly available in supermarket beef.
Our beef prices fluctuate with the cattle market and are based upon the market price for a finished steer at the time your steer is ready for harvest. Since you are buying in volume you'll see more savings than if you were buying individual cuts at the grocery store.
Dry Aging
Dry-aging utilizes the evaporative process to intensify flavor while natural enzymes in the beef create a change which tenderizes the meat. Dry-aging of ~21 days makes a tremendous difference and is something like the process of aging fine wine or whiskey--nature does the work man-made procedures cannot.
Quantity
Whole Steer (800-900 lbs): This includes meat from the entire steer with a variety of cuts.
Side of Beef (400-450 lbs): One-half of a steer is called a side because you get either the right or left side and thus get a selection that includes some of every cut available on the steer.
Split-Side of Beef (200-225 lbs): A split-side of beef is equal to one-quarter of a steer. Either the right or left side is halved along the lengthwise axis to deliver a selection that includes some of nearly every cut available on the steer.
*A family of 4 who eats beef 2-3 nights per week will consume a side of beef in ~9 months
*Weights indicate hanging weight. Hanging weight is taken before dry-aging and will decrease somewhat in the aging process as moisture evaporates from the beef.
Packaging
We recommend vacuum packaging in a heavy plastic, freezer safe package. This will result in better storage, less mess when thawing, and clear wrapping for viewing your meats. When arranging your processing with Walke Brothers ask for this method. They’ll be able to quote the current charge for processing and vacuum packing.
