I'm in the process of closing a deal to provide butcher calves for two nursing homes. They should buy a fairly large sum of calves, 10-15 head or more - I'm waiting for them to give me a number. My problem is that I normally charge $2.00/pound hanging weight at the time of slaughter. Should I discount them because they'll buy so many? Selling as freezer beef I come out $100-$200 better than if I sold them at the stockyard, so there is some wiggle room. They feel like they are getting a bargain for meat at $2.00 a pound, but I'm feeling slightly greedy. Any comments? Maybe the chemo has blown my mind.
