Buy the animal, not the cut.

Every kitchen buys ribeye. Nobody buys cheeks. That gap is why a distributor charges what it charges for the popular cuts — somebody has to absorb the rest of the animal, and they price it into what you order.

The Whole Animal Program moves that math onto your side of the table. You take the animal. You get the ribeyes at the same level as the shanks, the bones, the tongue, and the three hundred pounds of ground beef. Then we sit down with your menu and work out where the unfamiliar cuts go.
