Beef; Whole by Hanging Weight

Custom Cut Beef

With a custom cut, you work directly with the locker to decide how your beef is cut and packaged. You choose:

• Steak thickness & how many per pack
• Roast size (e.g., 2–3 lb, etc.)
• Ground beef package size (1 lb, 3 lb, or a combo)
• Which cuts you want made into ground beef
• Packaging (paper wrap or vacuum seal)

Vacuum Seal Note: Vacuum seal adds $0.30 per package and keeps beef fresh longer. However, treat vacuum-sealed packages with care — tossing them into the freezer or pulling on the edge can break the seal and allow air in.

Inspection Options:
Custom cut beef can be ordered with or without USDA inspection.

• If you choose USDA inspected, it will carry the K Creek Ranch retail label and can be legally sold by the package (to individuals, retail outlets, or restaurants).
• If you decline USDA inspection, packages will be marked “NOT FOR SALE”. This does not mean it’s unsafe — it is still state inspected — it simply cannot be resold.

Custom cuts are ideal for customers who want maximum say in how their beef is processed and packaged for their family.

🥩 Custom Cut Beef: USDA Inspected vs. Non-Inspected

Custom cut beef can be ordered with or without USDA inspection.

As a business, we choose to have our beef USDA inspected because it allows us to legally sell beef to restaurants, stores, and customers by the individual package.

USDA inspection also gives us flexibility if a customer places an order but later decides not to purchase the beef (especially if no deposit has been made). In that case, we can still offer those cuts for sale by the package.

Without USDA inspection, the beef must carry a “Not For Resale” label, which means we legally cannot sell those cuts to anyone else if an order is canceled. We would have to keep the beef for our own use.  It does not mean that the beef is bad in any way.  

USDA inspection helps us provide more options, serve more customers, and ensure every cut of beef can be properly handled and sold.
