Off the Hoof
ONO Ranch American Wagyu Beef
Wholes / Halves
Ono Ranch is offering our American Wagyu bought “off the hoof” as a whole or half steer. This is the standard method of buying a live steer with weight (and thus the price) calculated at time of slaughter (hanging weight). The buyer is responsible for the cut and wrap process as well as the costs (we will assist in that process if you are working with our butcher). The result is that within about 3 weeks of the slaughter date you will have your beef in its entirety.
Overall costs for this process vary but start with $7.35 / lb hanging weight to Ono Ranch. Our butcher charges about $1.20 / lb hanging weight for processing fees plus kill fee. On an average a steer hanging weight is around 720 lbs and nets some 550 ish lbs of beef. If you order a whole, you will need a solid 20 cu ft freezer.
You can, as many of clients do, share with your family!

ONO Ranch American Wagyu Beef
Membership Program
Ono Ranch is offering our American Wagyu via a 1-year membership program where you buy a “whole, half or quarter” of our grass-fed grass finished beef shipped to you throughout the year in small boxes (40 or 20 lbs. each). Each package represents the meat that you would get if you were buying that portion a live steer and comes frozen, cut, and wrapped.
The benefit of this program is you can buy a large quantity of beef at a savings over retail, but you do not have to worry about where you are going to store it all at once.

Our American Wagyu is 50 / 50 cross of registered Japanese Wagyu bull with a high-quality Angus cow.
Throughout the program, you will receive that type of Wagyu. What you will not receive is meat from the same cattle. We butcher throughout the year and have limited freezer space so we cannot hold your “beef” just for you. As a result, there may be some variability in meat marbling from shipment to shipment as each one of our cattle are different based on numerous factors.
Our handling costs are $25 per box which includes packaging. Our shipping costs vary based on your location. All products sold to residents of Deschutes County Oregon will have no shipping costs.
