Cut your way. Raised the right way.
We work hard to provide the very best beef packages available. Ogemaw Pure Beef has fine marbling and no added hormones — and because we raise most of our own feed, we can keep quality high and prices honest.
Grass-fed, grain-finished, no shortcuts
Our cattle are grass-fed on lush, nutrient-rich pasture, then grain-finished with our own home-grown hay for a well-balanced, healthy diet. That means superior tenderness, juiciness, and flavor — with no added hormones or artificial ingredients.
All our products are vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness, flavor, and texture, extending freezer life for months. If you need any dinner suggestions, check out our recipe page.
Priced by hanging weight
Pricing is based on hanging weight — the weight of the animal after processing but before butchering, including bones, fat, and organs. Ogemaw Pure Beef covers processing, handling, and transport to the processor.

What this means in real numbers: a 500 lb. hanging weight half typically yields around 300 lbs. of finished beef (about 60% of hanging weight). At $5.00 per lb. hanging weight, that's roughly $2,500 total — an average of about $8.33 per lb. for premium steaks, roasts, and ground beef combined. Compare that to today's retail beef prices, which regularly run close to $7.50 per lb. for far lower quality.
Hanging weight vs. yield weight
Hanging weight
The weight of the animal after it's slaughtered but before it's butchered. Includes bones, fat, and organs.
Yield weight
The actual edible meat you take home after processing — usually a percentage of hanging weight. Your choice of custom cuts (and which parts you keep, like organ meats or suet) affects your final yield.
