At Two Girls Farm in Acworth New
Hampshire we raise 100% grass-fed, hormone and antibiotic-free,
healthy and happy Scottish Highland cattle. All summer long, the
animals graze lush pastures. They rest in the shade of green
woodlands. They drink cool clear water from the running brook. Come
winter, they munch fragrant green hay while their long wooly coats
keep them warm without having to put on extra layers of fat.

Every fall we slaughter a few of the older steers ourselves. This old-fashioned breed takes twice as long to reach full
size as modern beef cattle, but the reward is a healthy, flavorful
meat that is very low in fat. We then take them to be professionally
cut and wrapped by a local butcher. A quarter animal will include
steaks, roasts, ribs, and ground beef. You have the option to keep
soup bones, dog bones, and tallow; and some of the liver and heart at
no extra charge. You can specify quantities and sizes for all the
cuts, have it cubed for stew or kabobs, or even thinly sliced for
making jerky.
The total cost for us to raise,
slaughter, and process your quarter steer will depend on its final
size. Shares come in 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 sizes. The cost is based on hanging weight (that’s the weight of
the animal after we kill it, skin it, and clean it out). A half share is $3.80/lb at hanging weight (hw), a quarter share is $4.00/lb hw, and an eighth share is $4.25/lb hw. A quarter
of an animal will cost about $650 for about 100 pounds of cuts.
To reserve your half share for this
Fall, please send us a check for $600 ($325 for a quarter, $175 for an eighth) by March 31. We cull only two or three animals every year so we
will sell out early. In addition, please fill out and return the
enclosed cut sheet.
We will slaughter your steer toward
the end of September. Within the week after it is butchered, your
meat will be frozen and ready for pickup at the farm. If you have any questions, feel free to
call us.
