Objective

Use this guide to fill out your Cutsheet in Farmshare, whether you are a Buyer filling in your own share or a Producer filling in a share you are keeping. The Cutsheet tells your Processor exactly how you want your meat cut and packaged.

Key Steps

1. Log in

Log in at partners.farmshare.co with the email or phone number your Processor has on file for you. Click Continue, then enter the 6-digit code Farmshare sends you and click Verify Code. There is no password.

2. Open your share

  • Buyers: open Your Orders and click Fill in cutsheet on your split.

  • Producers: open the job from Your Jobs and click Fill in cutsheet on the card for the share you are keeping.

  • Don't see your order? Log in with the exact email or phone number the request was sent to. If your Cutsheet link came by text, signing in with your email will not show your order.

3. Choose how to start

The Select Cutsheet window opens.

  • The Mine tab lists Cutsheets you have saved before. Pick one to re-use it.

  • The tab with your Processor's name lists their ready-made Cutsheets.

  • To start from scratch, click Fill Out New Cutsheet.

4. Make your selections

The Cutsheet walks you through each section of the animal one step at a time. On each step, pick an option on the left and set the details on the right (thickness, roast size, and so on). Click Next to move on.

  • Anything you do not select may be sent to Trim or ground.

  • Some options carry an extra charge. Check each step before you click Next.

5. Review and add notes

The Review screen shows everything you picked. Add any notes for your Processor in Cutsheet Notes at the bottom, then click Save.

6. Name your Cutsheet and finish

Give your Cutsheet a name you will recognize later, check the pricing summary, and click Done. The card for your share now shows your Cutsheet with responses added.

7. Make changes later

The card for your share has Change, Edit and Download buttons. Click Edit to update your selections, Change to pick a different Cutsheet, or Download to keep a copy. You can edit until your Processor locks the Cutsheet.

Cautionary Notes

  • Final pricing is based on actual hanging weight, so the pricing summary is an estimate. Your Processor's invoice shows the final cost, like the example below.

  • The cuts you see depend on the share you bought (whole, half, quarter). If a cut you expected is missing, see Cuts you expected are missing from your Cutsheet.

  • Once your Processor locks your Cutsheet you can no longer edit it. Message them in Chat if you need a change or a copy.

Tips

  • Have questions about a cut? Open Chat from the left menu to message your Processor directly.

  • Name your Cutsheet after the buyer or the year so it is easy to find and re-use next time.

  • Use Cutsheet Notes for anything the options don't cover.
