1 │ What animals can I order and how much do they cost?

Whole Beef: $550 deposit + $6.80/lb hanging weight (take‑home ≈ 300 – 500 lb of meat)

Lamb: $480 (40–45 lb) – price includes $30 processing

Goat: $530 (40–45 lb) – price includes $30 processing

Beef Share: ≈ 80 – 100 lb boxed beef at $6.80/lb

Special‑breed requests (e.g., Angus) require an additional $400 deposit to secure the specific animal.

Why the beef price still saves money

Buying a steer “farm‑style” on live weight might read $2.50 – $3.00 per lb, but you also pay the processor—and only about 60 % of the live weight turns into edible meat. When the dust settles, your true cost is roughly $7 – $9 per take‑home pound. Our hanging‑weight rate of $6.80/lb already includes the plant work and yields the same premium steaks, roasts, and ground beef—so you keep more meat for fewer dollars and skip the extra logistics.

2 │ How do I reserve?

Beef (whole) is deposit only. Head to the Qurbani section at newenglandmeatpacking.com/qurbani to place the $550 deposit and lock your spot.

Lamb & Goat can be reserved online or by phone at (860) 684‑3505 ext 0 until sold out.

3 │ What does “hanging weight” mean on beef?

Hanging weight is the carcass weight after the hide, head, and organs are removed. Final boxed weight is about 60–65 % of that figure. Buying a steer “farm‑style” on live weight might read $2.50 – $3.00 per lb, but you also pay the processor—and only about 60 % of the live weight turns into edible meat. When the dust settles, your true cost is roughly $7 – $9 per take‑home pound. Our hanging‑weight rate of $6.80/lb already includes the plant work and yields the same premium steaks, roasts, and ground beef—so you keep more meat for fewer dollars and skip the extra logistics.

4 │ What are my options for fulfilling the sacrifice (Qurbani)?

A. Pick‑Up: We perform Zabiha for you, reciting the Takbir in the name you provide. Simply arrive during your pick‑up window.

B. Self‑Slaughter: Come on‑site, select your animal, and perform Zabiha yourself. You may then

• 1. Stay (≈ 4 – 6 h) and do your own cutting/packing when called, or
• 2. Leave & return later for boxed meat.
