Hanging weight, in one breath
Hanging weight is the weight of the carcass after slaughter but before it is cut and packaged. It is the standard way bulk farm beef is priced. What you take home weighs less than that, and it varies with the cuts you choose.
Cuts and handoff
Cut preferences will be handled closer to processing. Available options may vary by share size and processor. Processing, cutting, and final pickup or delivery details will be communicated closer to processing.
