The goal of Princess Beef is to give the consumer a consistently priced, superior product unrelated to the ups and downs of the cattle market. At the same time, Princess Beef seeks to increase the sustainability of a small, family ranching business by cutting out the large feedlots and processors that presently control the beef industry.<\/p>\n
When you purchase Princess Beef, you legally are buying a share of the herd and we are having it processed for you by our\u00a0local meat processor. This allows us to keep the price reasonable for you while giving us the opportunity to employ the services of a small U.S.D.A. inspected meat processing plant in our area.<\/p>\n
The price of the meat is based on hanging weight, which is the carcass weight before being butchered into cuts.<\/p>\n
For the year 2026, the cost is $5.00, NOT INCLUDING PROCESSING<\/strong>.<\/span> The\u00a0<\/span>approximate<\/i> cost for processing done by Mountain Meat Packing, is around $1.52 pounds hanging weight (that includes kill fee, cut and wrap and cost of boxes). The rough estimate for the total\u00a0+\/-250.00 is $1000\/split quarter.\u00a0 Double that for a half, quadruple for a whole.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe\u00a0<\/span>deposit required\u00a0<\/span><\/b>when you place your order will be $500 for\/split quarter, $1000\/half, and $2000\/whole.\u00a0 The balance is due when you pick up your order.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta title=”Download an order form ” button_url=”http:\/\/princessbeef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/PB_OrderForm_2026.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”CLICK HERE” admin_label=”Call To Action” module_class=”et_animated” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_font_size=”20″ body_font_size=”12″ background_color=”#5e7ca0″ custom_margin=”2px|2px|2px|2px” custom_padding=”20px|20px|11px|20px||” animation_style=”bounce” hover_enabled=”0″ border_style=”solid” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”0″ button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover=”null” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Section” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||2px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quantity” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Quantity<\/h2>\n
Princess Beef is sold in whole, half or split quarters. (A split quarter is divided between the front and back of the carcass.)<\/p>\n
We sell mostly split quarters and halves. Last year\u2019s hanging weight averaged 155 for a split quarter. Actual weight averaged 86 pounds; approximate price per pound is around $11.75.<\/span> If you\u2019re wondering how much freezer space you need, a quarter of beef fits into a 5 cubic foot freezer. However, you should choose a larger freezer if you wish to store other food items.<\/p>\nGenerally a split quarter wrapped for two people includes Sirloin Steaks, Tenderloin, New York Strip, Rib Eyes, Round Steak, Chuck Roasts, Rump Roasts, Brisket, Flank and Ground Beef. Steaks are cut 1 1\/2 inches thick and roasts average 3 pounds.<\/p>\n

Here is a content list and image of a split quarter similar to what you will receive (double these numbers for a half beef). The dimensions of the boxes holding the beef are approximately 17″ x 26″ x 5″ each.<\/p>\n

We schedule ONE date for nearby customers<\/strong> (primarily Delta County) to pick up their orders at the Houseweart Ranch on Rogers Mesa, Hotchkiss, Colorado. We send written notice well in advance, along with directions. We do our best to make other arrangements for customers outside Delta County to receive their beef. For example, we schedule ONE DELIVERY DATE each for cities such as Montrose, Grand Junction, Denver\/Colorado Springs<\/strong> and arrange for one time and one place in each location<\/strong> where customers can pick up their orders. We send written notice one month in advance. The cost of these deliveries is 70 cents per mile, roundtrip, per pickup load, which means we prorate the total mileage charge among all customers participating in a particular delivery. It is important that customers reserve early so that we can make these distant deliveries the most cost efficient for everyone.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About Princess Beef Home for Princess Beef is on Rogers Mesa outside Hotchkiss, Colorado where Cynthia and Ira Houseweart and their daughters, Izzi and CeCe, live and work on their fifth generation portion of the century old Houseweart Family Ranch.
