[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1494763, member: 14585"] Mike - mwj made a good point about expectations. Being new to selling 1/2s both you and your friends/customers should talk with the butcher who will be doing the processing to answer questions you'll both have about what to expect. 1240 lbs should yield 60.5%+ = 750 lbs hanging 1240 x 1.60 = $1984 750 x 2.65 = $1988 hanging weight or live weight... it's a horse a piece Advantage using hanging weight, no hassle, weighing done by independent 3rd party who needs to weigh it anyway to process and rewards grower for producing higher yielding steers. Advantage using live weight, may trick inexperienced buyers into thinking the total price is cheaper than hanging weight and rewards producer of lesser yielding steers. Being able to sell entire steer to one buyer will make your life a lot easier than selling 1/2s or 1/4s I would either discount to buyer of entire steer or raise price to buyer of a 1/4 or 1/2 for the extra hassle.
