We are going back near half a century when I was a journeyman butcher.
Lady that owned the store had about a thousand head of cattle she contracted a local kill plant.
Her hand's hauled the calves she raised to there and they hauled to the store.
We averaged cutting 40 head a week she supplied her own beef for about half the year.
Now I have no clue what the margins were as my job was to cut meat. I overheard her talking with the market manger how profit's were through the roof. Next week I hit her up for a raise she said no I walked out the door and went down the street to another shop started the next day. That is the only day in my life I was without a job.
