Hagemann Beef Purchasing Terms

Hagemann Beef sells quarters, halves, and whole sides of beef. When placing your online deposit, please understand that we need to sell a "whole" animal before it is sent in for processing. For example, that could be four quarters requiring four different buyers or two halves requiring two different buyers. When we receive your deposit, you will be on the official list for the next availability. Most of the time, it will be within a month or two before the animal is taken in. We will be in communication as to when we are expecting the next availability. We require a non-refundable deposit on all quarters, halves, and whole orders. It's hard for us to try to sell someone else's custom cuts if you decide to back out or leave the meat sitting at the processor for a long time.

Our processor is Johnson's Processing in Chadwick, IL. If you wish to contact us prior to placing a deposit to find out availability or ask additional questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Purchase agreement

By placing an online deposit using a credit card to Hagemann Beef, you are agreeing to the following purchase terms:

  • I agree that my non-refundable deposit is reserving my selection of a quarter, half, or whole beef and that the balance I owe will be due in full and paid online with a credit card or a cleared check if you’ve made that arrangement with us before the beef is picked up at the processor. Beef must be paid in full before it leaves the processor.

  • I agree that processing is a separate fee, and I will pay for the processing when I pick up my beef at the processor when they call and tell me it’s ready. Beef must be paid in full before it leaves the processor.

  • I agree that the beef animal’s hanging weight determines my final balance due and could vary depending on the size of the animal. I fully understand that Hagemann Beef will inform me of that hanging weight and the corresponding balance that I owe once the animals have been sent for processing, but prior to the availability of pick-up.

  • I agree that this does not constitute a guarantee for beef in the current year. Availability is first come, first-served by those who pay their deposits first. If the current year is sold out, we can hold your deposit for the first availability the following year, or in this sole case, we can issue a refund. Otherwise, there are no refunds on deposits.
