Beef Cut and Wrap in Idaho
Beef cut-and-wrap is the process of butchering a carcass or hanging beef into retail-ready cuts, then packaging it for the freezer. Idaho Custom Meats helps connect buyers and livestock owners with participating providers offering cut-and-wrap services in Idaho.
What Is Beef Cut and Wrap?
After slaughter, the beef carcass is split and hung — this is called hanging or hot weight. Cut-and-wrap is the next step: a butcher breaks down the hanging beef into individual cuts based on your cut sheet, then wraps and labels each package for the freezer. You choose how you want your steaks, roasts, ground beef, and other cuts prepared.
Who This Helps
- Livestock owners who have had their animal slaughtered and need it processed
- Whole and half beef buyers coordinating with a processor
- Anyone buying freezer beef who wants specific cuts and packaging
