We sell whole, half, and quarter beef carcasses. You pay us for the carcass and then pay the butcher for processing.

Carcass: $15.00 per kg (includes on-farm harvest and delivery to butcher)
Butchery: ~$2 per kg for standard processing
Sausages: ~$7.50 per kg (approx 10% of carcass becomes sausage trim)

Note: You're purchasing a carcass, so fat and bones are included if you want them. Offal (tongue, heart, liver, kidney) is available at $13/kg on a first-come basis.

Prices are estimates based on $15/kg carcass + $2/kg butchery. Actual weight varies by animal. All prices include GST.

How ordering works

When you place an order, you choose the cuts you want and we organise everything: selecting the butcher and providing them with your completed cut sheet.

We select the animal and do an on-farm harvest once we have enough orders to book the mobile abattoir (minimum 4 animals). You'll be notified of the harvest date by email.

Collection is approximately 2 weeks after harvest. This allows time for the carcass to be hung and aged for around 10 days, then processed and packaged into your chosen cuts.

Our current butcher is De Bauchery in Tikipunga for the Whangārei area. You collect your order directly from them.
