A reservation is an agreement between you, the customer, and us, Oberrath Farms. When you reserve an item on this app, you agree to pay the reservation price listed on your order by the reservation dates shown on the products added, using one of the Payment Methods provided on this site. We agree to fulfill that product on or near the requested fulfillment date at the price listed. If you fail to pay the reservation fee by the specified date, the unreserved products will be removed from your order on that date. Reservation costs are non-refundable.

In order to reserve a product, you will need a customer account, which can be created on the Register page. Once registered, you will be logged in to the customer portal. When logged in to the customer portal, users will see the reservation option enabled for each product. Simply click on the button, fill in the information, and hit submit. This will add the product to your order and update your order information.

Once you have reserved products and they have been added to your order, you are expected to pay the reservation price shown on your order by the reservation date. To pay for your reservation, you can choose from any of the Payment Methods displayed on this site. When paying, be sure to fill in the appropriate notes where requested to identify the Order # and whether the payment is for a Reservation or Item, so that the payment is correctly attributed to the order in our database. Within 24 hours of receiving your payment, your order status will be updated accordingly on the website.

All orders that include items yet to be fulfilled will be viewable on the Home page once logged in. By expanding the order date shown, you can see all of the details, as well as the options to Add and Update items. Updating items allows you to update the quantitity, requested fullfilment date/time, as well as update or add any notes. Add Items will take you to the Product page with your order loaded, and allow you to add any items to your order that are not yet included on your order. You will receive an email with the details after each new item is added or existing item is update.

All orders must be paid in full by the products' fulfillment dates using one of the Payment Methods listed on this site and providing the Order #, and specifying the payment is for the order's items, not reservations. Totals and available dates for items not based on weight will be reflected in your order immediately. If your items are meat from large animals taken to the butcher, we will contact you and update your order with the hanging weights and prices once we receive them back from the butcher. If your order is for meat chicken, we will update your order and contact you with the weights and totals after processing is complete, normally the day before the order is scheduled to be available.

If you live inside Erie County and your order is not livestock, delivery is available as an option on your order for an additional $10. If your items are meat from large animals taken to the butcher, you are also responsible for the cost of processing, which must be paid using one of the Payment Methods listed on this site by the time of delivery.

If your items are at the butcher and you have not chosen to have them delivered, we will contact you after we drop off your animal at the butcher. You will then provide the butcher with your name, number, and butchering instructions, and they will call you when your order is ready for pickup. You will pay the butcher directly for processing costs when picking up your meat.

If your items are not being delivered or taken to the butcher, you will come to the farm at 4447 Henry Rd, Waterford, PA 16441, on your Fulfillment Date. If your items are ready sooner or will be delayed, we will contact you and let you know in a timely manner.

Live weight is the weight of an animal while it is alive. We measure this in pounds. We use this weight when customers pick up roaster and freezer animals rather than having them delivered to the butcher.

Hanging weight is the weight of an animal after it has been slaughtered but has not yet been processed into cuts. Typically, pigs and cows will hang for a period of time at the butcher after slaughter before being cut into individual cuts of meat. This weight will be about 60% of the live weight. This is the weight we charge for pigs and cows.

After processing, the total amount of meat received by the customer for a cow or pig is typically about 40-50% of the animal's live weight. So, an animal with a live weight of 1,000 lbs would have a hanging weight of about 600-640 lbs and would provide 400-500 lbs of meat for the customer to take home.

Since chickens are processed on the farm and do not need to hang for any time, we weigh them in pounds after they have been slaughtered, defeathered, and gutted, and are ready for packaging or cutting. This applies regardless of whether the customer has requested their chickens whole or cut up.

Butcher fees will depend on what you are having butchered, how big it is, and how you choose to have it processed. For standard cuts, you will pay somewhere between $1.00 and $1.20 per pound of the hanging weight of your animal. For example, if you have a pig with a hanging weight of 225 lbs, you can expect to pay about $225-$250 in butcher fees.

For a half pig, you?ll need about 2.3 to 3.5 cubic feet of freezer space. A whole pig requires roughly 4 to 7 cubic feet. If you're considering beef, a half cow will need around 10 to 12 cubic feet.
