Beef Cutting Instruction Information
Average thickness on all steaks is 1″ but we can cut them from 1/2″ to a 1 1/2″. Average size roast is 3# but we can do anywhere from 2-5#.
ALL SPLIT SIDES HAVE TO BE CUT THE SAME, otherwise there is no way to make it an even split.
A whole beef can only be split in 1/2 or in 1/4s.
