[QUOTE="Ridgefarmer63, post: 1729155, member: 23951"] I've always thought that butchers who sell meat out front seems to be a conflict of interest, but that'd make me a cynic I guess. Trust in thy fellow man, until you note otherwise and then move on or learn to butcher and do it yourself. The devils in the details as we all know. I've done the rail to box ratio on and off for 20 years. Worst I've seen is 50 %, best is 70% with most falling in the 58-62% range. Deboning everything, hang time (shrinkage) excess cover all affect the final outcome. In our area (and I suspect other areas too) putting a USDA facility on your farm could be a money maker. [/QUOTE]
