How much am I buying /selling when a beef is “Added to Cart”?
Each time a unit is added to the cart, it is for one quarter of an animal. To buy ½ or whole beef, simply add the additional ¼’s to the cart.
What am I getting in my ¼ beef package?
This information will be provided by the seller when the cow is posted.
How Do I pay for a ¼ beef?
Payment can be made using credit or debit card, PayPal or Venmo.
As a vendor, how do I receive payment?
Vendors will have to use a PayPal account to receive payment. This will need to be set up before your vendor account on Steakbroker is authorized. You will need to provide the email address associated with the PayPal account to receive payment. Payments are set to be distributed automatically once a week.
Can my beef be shipped?
Yes. Upon purchase of a ¼ beef, you will be charged for shipping. The seller can then arrange to have your beef shipped to you.
What does it cost to sell beef on the website?
It is free to sign up for the account, and there is no charge to post beef for sale. Sellers will only be charged a posting fee of 3.9% upon sale of the beef.
Is it possible to sell meat other than beef?
Yes. Producers are welcome to sell animals such as pigs for custom butchering.
What should be included when posting a cow for sale?
Details of the breed of cow and what kind of feed it has been raised on and finished before butchering should be listed. Producers should also post who will be doing the butchering, and when the animal is scheduled to be butchered if that has been previously scheduled. Pictures of the animal and/or past processed and packaged beef for reference are a good way to inform consumers of what they should expect to receive. The more detail about the animal and schedule for butchering, the better.
Is the sale of futures allowed?
Yes. If producers wish to post a cow for sale to be delivered at a later date, the buyer and seller are responsible for making arrangements for future delivery.
What if the buyer wants to pick up local and doesn’t need delivery?
We will arrange to refund shipping cost if the customer doesn’t need to have the beef shipped.
Someone purchased a ¼ beef. Why hasn’t the payment been posted to my account?
The payment system is set up to distribute payments once a week. If payment has not shown up after one week, please contact us.
