[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1848096, member: 498"] A good cow will hang up 50%. So a good 1,200 pound cow will hand 600 pounds. Nearly half of the hanging weight is in bone. So that works out to 300 pounds of meat to grind. So using nice round numbers a 1,200 pound cow costing $1.25 is $1,500. $1,500 for 300 pounds of meat is $5 a pound. Have you priced hamburger in the store lately? Also the packers sell the offal. The small guys have to pay to have it hauled off. [/QUOTE]
