[QUOTE="Alan, post: 966501, member: 378"] Just to add to what Kathie has already said, we do have USDA facilities here in Oregon and Washington, the two states have pretty much the same requirements. If you wanted to sell a few packaged steaks it has to be USDA approved. But in Oregon there are not too many USDA facilities. But you are allowed to sell a percentage of a live animal and have it processed for a client. So what I do and many others is sell whole, halves and half halves of a live steer. In my case anything smaller than a half halve the client has to find someone to split it with, I don't mess with 1/8's. I charge for hanging weight, the client pays me for their share and their share of processing fees to the butcher. The wrapped meat is returned with a "not for resale" stamped on the packages. I have posted this link a couple times in the past. But a lot of folks say they haul their animals to the processor. We have mobile processors out here. Here's a steer we had done a few years ago; [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54641&p=628222&hilit=Graphic#p628222]viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54641&p=628222&hilit=Graphic#p628222[/url] [/QUOTE]
