Question 1

Can I really choose how my animal is cut?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — that's the whole point. Steak thickness, roast size, ground lean ratio, sausage flavor, organ meats, dog bones — every detail is yours to call.

Question 2

What if I don't know what cuts I want?

Accepted Answer

Book the free 15-minute consultation. We'll walk you through every decision based on how you cook and how many people you feed.

Question 3

How far in advance do I need to order?

Accepted Answer

Most custom orders are scheduled 1–3 weeks ahead, depending on the season. Hunting season fills fast — book early.

Question 4

Can I mix cuts from one animal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can split a half or whole into multiple cut styles, package sizes, and grind ratios. Mix it up as much as you like.

Question 5

What's the minimum order?

Accepted Answer

We process by the half-animal minimum for beef, and quarter for lamb and pork. Smaller orders are available on a custom basis.

Question 6

Do you work with beef, lamb, and pork?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all three. Each is sourced from family farms within 200 miles of the shop.

Question 7

Where do the animals come from?

Accepted Answer

Pasture-raised, family-run ranches across Montana and Wyoming. We know every farmer by name.

Question 8

How fresh is the meat at pickup?

Accepted Answer

All cuts are dry-aged 14–21 days for beef, vacuum-sealed within hours of breakdown, and ready for pickup or freezer-direct storage.

Question 9

Do you offer organic or pasture-raised options?

Accepted Answer

All our beef and lamb are pasture-raised. Certified organic options are available on request — ask us when you book.

Question 10

How do I place a custom order?

Accepted Answer

Use our Custom Cut Order form, or book a free consultation first if you want help walking through the choices.

Question 11

How will I know when my order is ready?

Accepted Answer

We call and email you the day before pickup with a one-hour window.

Question 12

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Cash, check, and all major credit/debit cards at pickup. We can also invoice for larger half/whole orders.

Question 13

Can I change my order after submitting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — anything up to 48 hours before processing. After that we lock cuts in to keep the schedule moving.

Question 14

Do you offer delivery?

Accepted Answer

Local delivery is available within 50 miles for orders over 50 lbs. Otherwise pickup at the shop.

Question 15

What happens during the free 15-minute consultation?

Accepted Answer

A relaxed call where we ask about your kitchen, family, freezer space, and cooking style — then suggest cuts that fit.

Question 16

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No commitment. We'd rather you order with confidence than guess and regret it.

Question 17

What should I prepare beforehand?

Accepted Answer

Just a rough idea of your freezer space and how many people you feed. We'll do the rest.

Question 18

What if I'm a first-time customer?

Accepted Answer

Even better — that's exactly who the consultation is built for. Most first-timers leave knowing exactly what they want.
