There are three choices for the disposition of your purchase.
- The animal is harvested and processed for you at a meat cut & wrap facility
- You choose to resale the animal back to the processor for the posted resale price
- or you may take it home live
Meat Cut & Wrap Processing:
- If you choose to have the animal harvested, the processor you choose will contact you by phone, usually a week or so after the auction, for specific cutting and wrapping instructions for your purchased meat.
- The processor will walk you through this easy process.
- Your meat will be cut (ie: 1 or 1½ inch steaks/chops, 3 or 5 pound roasts, fajita, stew, or ground meat, etc.) and it will be wrapped to fit your needs (ie: two steaks per package or 10 steaks per package).
- The meat will then be frozen until you are ready to pick it up.
- Additional charges apply for cutting and wrapping – these are outlined for you in the auction catalog available on auction day.
How to use the Meat:
Once you have made your purchase there are many fun ways to utilize the meat!
- You and your family can enjoy top-quality, hand-fed swine, beef, lamb or goat.
- Donate all or part of the meat to a local food bank or shelter
- Give it away to employees or customers.
- Use it to host a BBQ
- Auction it off or use as part of a BBQ basket for a charity silent auction.
If you only want a small quantity of meat you can share the purchase with other buyers or “split buy”. You can jointly purchase an animal with friends or family, or we can also help you find partner buyers if you prefer!
Resale your purchase:
- If you choose this option the processing facility will automatically purchase the animal back from you at the market value.
- You only need to pay the difference between the final bid price and the resale or market price.
- Many businesses prefer this option as this allows them to support our program and enjoy the advertising benefits, even if they are unable to utilize the meat.
