A: The average weight of a ¼ steer will be approximately 250lbs. With a range from 200lbs. to 300lbs. The difference will depend on the size of the animal.
Q: What does 1/4th butchered mean?

We have our butcher divide all the cuts into four equal parts. Thus each ¼ of beef is the same; each has the same amount of hamburger, steaks and roast. However we can personalize your order of request.
