Angus Beef Packs

are available in either 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 (side) or whole body refer to the quantity of beef that is purchased from the farmer using HSCW, which stands for “hot standard carcass weight.”

HSCW is a measure of the weight of a dressed beef carcass after it has been processed, which is the hot or un-chilled weight of the carcass after slaughter. HSCW does not include the head, hide, intestinal tract, and internal organs. The weight includes the bone, fat, and meat, and it is used as a standard for pricing and selling beef largely due to the calibrated scales used to measure the carcass.

When a customer purchases a beef pack in 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 (side) and whole body quantities, they are buying a portion of the whole beef carcass, which has been processed and cut into individual cuts of meat such as steaks, roasts, mince & sausages. The exact cuts and quantities included in the beef pack may vary depending on the size and age, for example the HSCW varies between 220Kg to 320Kg.

Buying beef in bulk

is a cost-effective way to purchase high-quality meat, as it often results in a lower price per kilogram compared to buying individual cuts of meat whilst supporting local farmers.

The specific cuts of beef included in the pack will vary depending on the butcher or supplier, but typically, a beef pack will include a combination of Porterhouse steaks, Rib Fillet, Eye Fillet, T Bones, Y bone, Chuck, Round Steak, Blade Steak / Roast, Osso Bucco, Silverside, Rolled corned Brisket, Rolled Rib roast, Topside Roast, Mince and Sausages.

Rib fillet

Rib fillet steak is cut from the rib primal, which is located between the chuck and loin sections.

When cooking rib fillet steak, it is important to season it well with salt and pepper and cook it over high heat to ensure that it develops a flavourful crust on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside.

An Angus rib fillet steak is a popular choice at steakhouses and restaurants that specialise in high-quality beef dishes. It is a delicious and flavourful cut of meat that is often considered a premium steak due to its tenderness and marbling.

Stockman’s Steak

(Also Known as Tomahawk Steak)

This steak is a type of ribeye steak that is cut with a portion of the rib bone attached, resembling a tomahawk axe. This type of steak is typically larger than a traditional ribeye and can weigh up to 1 kg or more.

The bone of the Stockman’s Steak is left long and frenched, meaning that the meat and fat are trimmed away from the bone to expose it and give it an appealing appearance. This type of steak is known for its tenderness and flavour, as the meat is well-marbled with fat that melts during cooking, resulting in a juicy and flavourful steak.

Stockman Steaks are available when purchasing 1/2 (side) or whole body.

Cryovac beef

is a type of beef that has been packaged using a vacuum-sealing process known as cryovac. The process involves placing the beef in a pouch and removing all the air to create a vacuum seal. This helps to preserve the freshness of the beef and extend its shelf life.

Cryovac beef can be stored in a refrigerator for several weeks or frozen for several months.

Freezer space
