You are correct that it has to be usda inspected to sell individual cuts. That is why I priced it as live weight. I weigh it before it goes on the trailer and they pay me by the pound. I then haul it to the packer and they pick up their meat that they owned and pay him to wrap it. The packer...

I regret that I didn’t take better records on feed. I know that is important. I only have one lot to keep them so I had a mixture of replacement heifers and steers that were too small to sell that I was growing on up a little. I am keeping four this year and I will try to do better because I...

Ok I see how you got 5.29 now I didn’t take the second 60% for cut out. Thanks I am just learning. I feel like my price is fair. Yes I got a premium but I marketed cut beef not live steers. I am trying to get more than live steer price. I checked on hamburger prices and I saw $5 and more so...

I pulled the ticket on my beef and it weighted 1190 live weight. The yield was 702. That works out to $2.71 plus $320.80 processing. Vacuum sealed.

I forgot to add that their weight averaged about 1240 lbs.

I sold three this year for $1.60 per lb live weight. I haul them to the processor and they pay the processing and pick the boxed meat up.
