Availability

We have a limited number of steers available for purchase for the 2009 Spring/Summer season. These steers will be weighing between 1250 to 1400 lbs. and ready for processing between approximately May 1 st and July 31 st, 2009.

To purchase a steer or a portion of a steer you need to do so online here at the website.

1. You will need a credit card or a checking account draft to secure the order. We do accept checks by mail but your order will not be secured until your payment has been received and cleared the bank.
2. You can (and should) order the steer before they are ready for processing to insure you will get one of these Spring/Summer 2009 steers.
3. When the steer has reached its target weight (1250 - 1400 lbs.) and is 100% sold your final payment will be due.
4. Once the steers’ target weight has been achieved we will charge your credit card for the balance due at this time and notify you of this by email. Steers will only be processed after all payment including taxes has been made.
5. From our website, go to “Place An Order” to begin this process.
6. Once inside the ordering area, you will have some options for packages, optional products, such as summer sausage, beef jerky, marinated beef, etc. It is very easy to navigate and complete your order.
7. Reserving a steer requires a deposit. $500 for a whole steer, $250 for a half or a half of a half. The deposit is non-refundable so please do not order until you are ready for some great Third Day Beef.

So place your order now if you want one of our 2009 Spring/Summer steers for the summer grilling season!

Processing

When the steer is at target weight (1250 – 1400 lbs.) and 100% sold, we will contact you by email or telephone to let you know the steer is ready for final payment and processing. If paying by credit card, the balance will be billed to your card automatically at this time. If not paying by credit card, the balance must be paid within 5 days of this notice or the steer will be sold to the next purchaser on the wait list.

If for any reason you are unable to make full payment at that time, you will be assigned to the next available steer.

Beef Product Options

We can process your beef in any of a number of ways. This is one of the cooler options of buying beef direct from the producer.
