How the Process Works

The Order

When you place an order with us, you will be reserved a spot in one of our processing dates in the fall. After your order, we will get in touch with you to confirm your order and cut sheet preferences.

If you prefer to make your own cut sheet we will send you a customizable cut sheet for you to itemize your preferences. Be aware you may see a lower percentage final yield of beef from the hanging weight versus the yield percentage from using our standard cut sheet. This can occur from selecting cuts that are; boneless vs. bone-in, ground beef over steaksand roasts, or requesting us to withhold the unwanted or unusual cuts that are included in your purchase.

Also of note, if you purchase our grass-fed beef, each cow only has limited amounts of certain cuts, such as the tongue, liver or heart. Therefore, if you would like us to include these cuts in your order, let us know in the comments.

Processing

We do our processing between Sep-Nov. so ensure our cows fatten on the best and freshest grass. These are the best times to process because the cows are their fattest.

We will reach out to you to confirm your pick-up date and location and total cost.

Final bills come following the processing date when we have the hanging weights of the beef while it is dry-aging. The 14 day dry-aging provides the optimal amount of tenderness and flavor.

We typically provide 2-3 delivery dates between Oct-Nov. We currently only deliver in the Franktown area, however we can also make deliveries to the Fort Collins area. If neither of these locations work well for you please let us know and we will find an option that works!

For our Wyoming customers you can pick your beef at the processor near Torrington or arrange for alternate delivery sites.

To our customers outside the Colorado/Wyoming area, we do offer delivery with a shipping cost. The location dictates how we package and transport the beef, so contact to one of our staff to discuss these deliveries.

Lastly, our goal is to provide you with grass-fed beef that exceeds your expectations. If at any time there are issues with your beef or the process, please reach out either Brad or Kate and we will make the issue right. Taking care of our customers has always been the first goal of Touchstone Angus and we will take every effort to satisfy you.

How Much Freezer Space?

A quarter of beef requires about 4 cubic feet. You will need about one cubic foot of freezer space for every 35 – 40 pounds of packaged meat.
