NUTRITION
Our cattle have their own nutritionist that we meet with monthly. He assesses them and gives us a feed ration that allows us to raise the best quality beef. They receive a combination of both hay and grain, along with vitamins and minerals. No growth hormones are needed due to their perfectly balanced diet.
Our beef consume a perfect diet to create beautiful marbling with the tender, buttery texture that sets our beef apart!

Our standard cut list: Ground Beef, T-Bone, Porterhouse, English Roast, Delmonico, Sirloin Steak, Round Bone Roast, Arm Roast, Stew Meat, Sirloin Tip Roast, Rump Roast, Brisket Roll, Round Steak, Flank Steak, Chuck Roast
* Eighths of beef often times do not split evenly when breaking down. Ex: There may only be 3 sirloin tip roasts, so your eighth may not receive one, but may receive an extra chuck roast. We make it as even as possible, but if you do not receive a cut listed in the cut list, it is because it didn’t split evenly. The same goes for brisket rolls. There are two per half, so you may not get a brisket roll but will get another roast in its place.
Halves and Wholes have the option to alter the cut list or make requests. Quarters and eighths do not.
Please use caution: It is important to get us your deposit in a timely manner. We put orders in the order the deposits are received. We may have beef available when we talk, but if you wait to send your deposit, we may have received other deposits in that amount of time, so your order may be pushed back to the following month if we do not have beef available anymore for that month.
You have 7 days after we contact you that your beef is ready to pick it up unless other arrangements are made and agreed upon by us. After the 7 days you will incur a $5 per day storage charge.
Beef is usually ready the last week of the month you order for, or the first week of the following month.
We require a $200 deposit by check. We will hold the check until you pick up your meat and pay the balance. Make checks payable to: Dickert Farms. Address: 250 Gillen Lane Mineral Point, Pa 15942. Include a phone number, address, what the check is for (ex: 1/2 cow, 1/2 hog), and the agreed upon month.
When you purchase any meat from us and pay the total, you are relinquishing us of any and all responsibility of the product. There is no "warranty" on the meat and no refunds.
