IS IT CHEAPER??!?!?!?
We get this question a lot!
With the rising cost of living, we definitely appreciate that not everybody can indulge in a large purchase just because it’s better value!
Yesterday thanks to one of our butcher friends we broke down, weighed and photographed an entire side of beef, and all their cuts!
Our side weighed in at 110kg dressed weight. We watched Tyson break down the side and weighed every single steak, bone, mince packed and ‘waste’ fat!
From our “side of beef” we recieved 80kg of meat, about 23kg of bones and the rest as ‘waste fat” This waste fat could have been combined into the mince to give us more of an overall yield however we wanted to keep the mince to at least a “B” grade!
Our effective purchase price for our 100% Grass Fed, and Grass Finished Beef was only $18.80 / kg.
This is our “total price” divided by our “total meat”
We have dogs, so our doggy freezer is now full of bones which, if I had to pay for them cost between $5 and $10 a kg. (seriously go google dog bones!) So conservatively I’ll say there is $100 worth of dog bones in there, but I have not included them in the calculations because not everybody has dogs. (I’ve heard you can make some lovely soups etc but the dogs don’t appreciate that as much!)
So, to go back a bit, we have 80kg of beef @ 18.80/kg.
With our side of beef, we saved a massive $470 over buying the cuts retail.
This does not factor in the better quality of beef, and the warm fuzzy feeling you get from buying and supporting local!
Different cut options and a different size / shape beast will change these numbers slightly so please use this table as a guide only!
Sadly most supermarkets do not stock the same quality beef, so a direct comparison was not always possible. Prices correct as of 5.3.2023.
** Remember this is 100% Grass Fed, Free Range Beef raised with regenerative farming practices. **

* Our silverside meat was weighed before any water or corning was added. This will add approximately 2L of water to the weight, we have adjusted our retail price by 20% to factor in this difference.
Where possible, I have tried to use major supermarkets. I don’t want this post to come across as butcher bashing! There ARE costs involved in having individual meat cuts available for purchase for customers which our model does not need to cover as you’re buying a large portion of beef.The total purchase price of our side of beef was $1500.
The total value of the retail cuts was around $1972, Plus about $100 worth of dog bones.
This gives a total “saving” of over $500! when compared to buying retail.
