[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 56541, member: 87"] We sell only on live wt, and charge $1.58/lb and this includes processing. On top of this we ad sales tax. The Georgia Revenue department told me that since we are selling a live animal that is going to a person not practicing animal husbandry that we must charge sales tax on the animal, which is 7% in the county we actually transfer ownership. We have a contract with all customers, that specifies that we are not selling meat, but a live animal and that the customer is authorizing us to set up the processing for them at a USDA meat plant. Upon weigh in on the meat plants's certified scale we send a bill of sale for the animal, and send them notification of the amount due to the processor on meat pickup based on hanging wt. On thing about weighing the truck and trailer empty on a day different from that in which the trailer contains the animal. When I did this, and compared it to the certified scale at the meat plant, the coop scale was up to 200 lb off. When I did the weigh in on the same day, with and without the critter, they were only a pound off. I also was very careful to fill up with fuel before going to the coop both with and without the critter , so that the weight of the fuel was not an issue. You can see the gory details of our beef purchase plan on our website [url=http://www.sellfarm.com]http://www.sellfarm.com[/url] Billy :cboy: [/QUOTE]
