[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1848084, member: 39347"] Depending on processing cost. Ours is another $1/lb, some are 1,25 down here now. Profit is there but getting slimmer. My luck I'd get a .50 x.50 yield, or some major cutout from injection damage. I would also say that the 67% dressout yield is quite a bit lower once you go all ground. So, for a 1250 lb cow @1.50, if yield is 50%/50%, that’s 312 lb of ground against an $1875 purchase price-$6/lb without processing thrown in. The “good flesh” cows I’ve seen marketed as butcher cows could still use some feed for finishing-they’re heavy but also big boned, and I can just imagine the cutout for ground only. Volume for the packers makes up the cost I suppose. [/QUOTE]
