Glen Airlie Beef

We raise our own cattle for sale, which means our availability follows a natural cycle.

Sides of beef are offered once the cattle reach the right size.

We typically make deliveries twice a year and accept orders year-round for the next available run.

We are currently taking bookings for delivery around April-May 2025

To guarantee the freshest beef at the best possible price, we provide scheduled delivery dates—typically on Friday evenings or Saturdays.

These dates are confirmed once your order is finalized with the butcher.

Bulk beef (e.g. half a cow) is priced based on the hanging weight of the carcass at a set $/kg rate.

The hanging weight refers to the weight of a carcass after it has been dressed but before it is cut into individual retail cuts and packaged.

Our hanging weights will typically range approx. 80 - 110 kg.

Yes, though there are some additional terms/restrictions:

• A $2.00 per/kg handling fee is applied

• A standard cut sheet is used and cannot be customized

• Quarter orders are subject to availability and may take longer to fulfil.

Before ordering a quarter, we recommend you consider splitting half-a-cow with family and friends.

A hanging weight of 110 kg will typically result in approx. 80 kg of tray packed retail cuts. A medium to large bench or chest freezer is suitable (we fit half-a-cow into a 140L chest freezer).

The deposit secures your order and ensures every product has a ready destination. By minimizing the need for extra refrigeration, we can provide fresh, high-quality beef at a lower cost.

Our pricing depends on the animal’s final weight, which can’t be predicted when you place an order. Instead, we offer a price range as an estimate. Once the animal is processed and the hanging weight is confirmed, we issue a final invoice based on that weight.

We deliver to all suburbs within 45 mins of Kangarilla SA (check google maps to see if your suburb is within this area).

Deliveries beyond this will attract a higher fee ($80).

If you are unsure if your address is close enough for delivery, please contact us via phone or email.

In the unlikely event we cannot fulfil your order - A full refund of your deposit will be provided.

Hanging Weight Vs Retail Weight

• Order weight is based on "Hanging Weight" I.e. the weight of the animal after it has been dressed but prior to being processed into retail cuts.

• This excludes most waste (head, hooves, hide, tail, offal, etc.) but does include bones and fat.

• Hanging weight is not the same as the final amount of packaged meat you take home (retail weight).

• As a general guide retail weight is approximately 70% of hanging weight.
