[QUOTE="blackladies, post: 1826008, member: 42956"] I butcher a steer for my family to eat, but if I sold that steer at auction I would get money. I have to figure that as an opportunity cost because I could sell it instead of keeping it. So it cost me whatever I could sell it for and the grass/hay that it eats and its dam eats and other costs associated with keeping it instead of selling it. Plus the cost of butchering it and going to drop it off and pick it up. All in I’m probably about $4lb to raise my own beef and eat it. So I come out ahead on the steaks and fancier cuts but not on the ground beef. [/QUOTE]
