Purchasing – Mountain Pastured Beef — from West Wind FarmWest Wind Farm's USDA-inspected Mountain Pastured Beef is sold direct to the consumer. All West Wind Farm Mountain Pastured Beef is Black Angus, USDA-inspected, dry-aged 2-3 weeks, and hard-frozen. You may order either (a) in bulk (half or split-half beefs) or (b) in smaller amounts (sampler packets and some individual cuts). We provide limited delivery to a few set locations in Maryland (more on this below). 1. Our focus is on selling our beef in bulk, by the half beef or quarter beef (also known as a split half, since both forequarter and hindquarter cuts are included). FALL DELIVERY: ORDER IN BULK mid-summer or early fall for delivery mid- to late fall to select Maryland delivery points in the Annapolis Baltimore, or Washington D.C. suburban areas. See the bulk order form or below on this page for details about ordering and picking up bulk orders. 2. Smaller amounts of Mountain Pastured Beef are also available, as mixed-cut "sampler packets," hamburger patty packs, and some other separate items such as organ meats; these may be ordered year-round as long as supplies last. We make one "samplers" delivery a month to Accokeek, Annapolis, Columbia, Gambrills, and Owings Mills, MD; customers may also make arrangements to pick up their sampler orders most any time by appointment at our Bethesda home office or in Silver Spring (1 mile from 495 exit 28A).

What is a bulk order? Bulk orders comprise whole, half, or split-half beefs. Orders of split-half beefs have standard cuts. Orders of half or whole beefs are cut to customers' individual specifications. See an example of weights/number of cuts for bulk orders. The order form lists both the standard cuts and choices of cuts. The chart below indicates median weights for split-half, half, and whole beefs. Pricing Prices are based on the dressed — or hanging — weight of the beefs, according to accepted practice by small family-owned farms that sell custom-processed beef. The average "hanging" or "dressed" weight for a split half beef is about 130 pounds; the actual weight of meat received is 25-35% less than the dressed weight, depending on shrinkage during aging, and on your choice of bone-in or boneless cuts. Cost per pound of bulk orders after processing averages $6.00 to $6.50. Sample prices for bulk orders, Fall 2009
