Beef Cut Sheet

A beef cut sheet allows you to tell the processor how you want your animal divided and packaged. For someone processing beef for the first time, the number of choices can initially seem complicated, but each selection helps customize the finished order.

The beef cut sheet includes decisions about steak thickness, roast size, round steaks, cube steaks, Swiss steaks, ribeye or rib steaks, T-bones, sirloin, strip steaks, tenderloin, ground beef, patties, brisket, stew meat, short ribs, soup bones, and other available options. Customers can also provide special instructions.

Before completing the cut sheet, think about the meals your household prepares most often. If you rarely cook large roasts, smaller roast sizes may be more practical. If ground beef is used frequently, allocating more meat toward ground beef may better fit your household. Customers who are unsure about particular selections can ask questions rather than guessing.
