COYOTE  RUN  FARM
Lacona - Iowa

 

Hormone Free Beef (no artificial hormones) Coyote Run Farm offers shares of beef from Angus cattle that have not been treated with artificial hormones.  These beef come from a herd that has been owned and managed by the Matt’s family for nearly 40 years.  All feed comes from the Russell farm in Anita and no animal by-products are added to the feed.  We are currently sold out until May 2008.  Interested customers can contact us to be put on a list to be notified for 2008.   BUYING A SHARE OF BEEF Your total cost will be about $4.50 lb for your packages of meat.  An 1/8 of beef will yield about 50 lbs (1/4—100 lbs and 1/2—200 lbs).  The carcass yield of the live beef and processing choices will determine your final costs.  In order that people buying fractions of the beef get equal shares of the different cuts, some compromises may have to be made (unless a person buys a 1/2 beef in which case no dividing of the different cuts would be necessary).  Anita Meat Processing, a family owned locker in Anita, IA will do their best to accommodate your preferences as they process this beef for you.  You will make two payments: one to us for the live beef and one to Anita Meat Processing for the processing of your meat.    YOUR CHOICES Anita Meat Processing will cut and wrap all of your meat with your name on it.  You will need to call them and let them know how you want your meat cut.  You will be splitting a side of beef with someone else.  Because of this, we need to know a few things to match you up with someone else so that Anita Meat Processing can split the side evenly among customers while attempting to meet individual preferences.  Steaks:  ·        Width of cut--1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, or 1 1/4 inch ·        Style of cut—T-bone cut or New York Strip (T-Bone cut includes the bone.  New York Strip removes the bone and you get the New York Strip and Filet separated.) Roasts: ·        Size of roasts—2lbs, 3lbs, or 4lbs. Other preferences can be dealt with when talking with the folks at Anita Meat Processing.  You will need to contact them within 10 days after your beef is slaughtered to make sure they have your order ready to go when they cut and wrap your meat.  Beef usually hangs between 12 and 14 days before being cut and wrapped.
