Supply Chain Procurement Resources
This page is intended as a quick reference guide for operators and professionals in the supply chain who are buying and selling beef at volume.
As a contractor to the Beef Checkoff, the Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. brand does not sell any beef products. If you are looking to bulk order beef, please contact your beef vendor(s). If you are a consumer looking for a specific cut, we recommend reaching out to your local grocery store or butcher shop to purchase beef.

Carcass weights are not necessarily related to the weight of cuts within their respective weight ranges. And, other weights or ranges may be specified during ordering.
