[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 615231, member: 8978"] I wonder how much they charged you to sell her? At one time they used to charge 2% of sale price for commission but now it is a flat $18/cow plus all the other BS like producer insurance, checkoff, brand inspection, Hartford insurance etc. Then figure in your hauling expenses! In Canada if you have a lame cow or a bad eye the cheapest way to market them is shoot them and let the coyotes eat them. Saves you time and money! The sad part is those scoundrels buy an old cow for peanuts and then turn her into about $2500 worth of meat. A lot of people don't know that very little of that cow goes into hamburger. All the cuts are taken out and go into things like deli sandwich meat, jerky, cheap steak sandwich, stirfry, hot roast beef sandwich. And the really funny thing is when they act indignant if they have to pay 21 cents instead of 20 cents! But consider this: If a quarter pounder sells for $3.50 how much is the patty worth? The bun is about 25 cents the condiments about 10 cents...so the patty is worth about $3.15? Now multiply by 4 and it is $12.60/lb.! [/QUOTE]
