[QUOTE="TerraceRidge, post: 1626949, member: 21599"] If 16,000 people eat beef 4 times per week at a half-pound per meal, that’s 32,000 lb of beef per week, or 1,664,000 lb of beef per year. Divide that by a 70% yield and again by a 60% dressing percentage, and you get right at 4 million pounds of live weight. At 1,200 lb per finished steer, it would take over 3,300 finished steers to provide that whole county with beef for a year. If they only eat beef twice a week, then it will still take over 1,650 finished steers. The market potential is there if people actually resolved to buy and sell locally. [/QUOTE]
