Westphalia Market — Local services in Temple

A great small-town meat processing company. The slaughter and butcher facility does an excellent job preparing the steers I raise into ready-to-cook beef.

The market does custom cutting based on your specifications. If you are new to custom processing, they will help you determine what cuts are best for you. The beef is dry aged in the chiller for 14 days before cutting. That helps to improve both tenderness and flavor.

In my case, I've been very satisfied with the yield from live weight to hanging weight. The final cut weight depends on how much you ask to be trimmed and whether you get cuts with bone in or boneless. The vacuum packed meat stores very well. I've had beef in a chest deep freeze for up to a year with no loss of quality or flavor.

If you raise your own beef in the central Texas area you won't go wrong to use Westphalia Market as your processor. You can also buy beef cut at the market. If you are in the north Austin, Round Rock, or Georgetown area you can try their beef at the retail Westphalia...

They shorted us! My in-laws and my wife spent hundreds of dollars to purchase a "half a cow" and have it cut into all the cuts of beef that come from 1/2 of the animal. When we picked it up we weighed it and it was over 100 lbs under the agreed weight of beef. Upon calling the market they gave us more cuts but the beef we received was under-represented by the desirable cuts like steaks and such, so we got mostly tough cuts like stew bits, cutlets, and chuck. Everyone agrees this was a scandalously...
