Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much will it cost to purchase bulk beef?

    Pricing for quarters, halves, and whole beef varies based on the hot hanging weight, as both the beef cost and processing fees are calculated from it. For current pricing estimates, please give us a call. Final pricing can only be determined once the hanging weights are available.

  • How much beef will I get and how much space will it take?

    For your convenience, we’ve listed estimated prices for quarter, half, and whole beef orders on our product page. While these estimates offer a helpful guideline, please note that each animal is unique, so final costs may vary slightly. Visit our product page for the most up-to-date information and details.

  • How is my beef raised?

    All of our beef is raised on our generational farm and ranch in south central Montana, where we practice sustainability and regenerative farming methods. We’re proud to be hormone-free and grain-finished, ensuring top-quality meat while caring for the land for future generations.

  • Where can I try a sample of your beef?

    You can either purchase individual cuts in our store to cook at home or you may choose to dine as several locations locally that serve our beef.  For a great dining experience check out Edgar Bar Steakhouse (Edgar, MT), The Carlton Depot (Laurel, MT), or The Whistlestop Cafe (Columbus, MT).  Or if you are looking for something quicker try the Blue Montana Food Truck in Red Lodge and Beggin For BBQ Food Truck in Columbus.

  • I've never order bulk beef, how do I know what cuts to choose?

    We are happy to help answer any questions you may have about processing and have a handout that you can go over to decide what works best for you.  We then have Stillwater Packing contact you and go over all of the cuts to make sure yours is delivered exactly as you wanted.  For example you can choose from different cuts, how many pounds of burger per package, how big you want your roast, and how thick you want your steaks.  WE ARE HERE TO HELP!!!  Don't be afraid to ask questions! 

  • Why should I purchase local and bulk beef?

    There are many reasons to buy your beef direct from the farm! When you purchase beef from Oswald Farms Beef, you know exactly where and how your animal was raised, you can expect quality meat, and you are supporting a local Montana family who gives back to their community. Not to mention, when you buy in bulk, there can be cost savings as well - think of all those steaks you can eat a better rate than the store or restaurant!
