[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1392652, member: 25884"] If figuring that live weight is 1200 lbs. then 50% is 600 lbs. 600lbs x 2.50 lb =1500. Minus 1337.50 which is his figured costs; now the profit is $162.50. Big difference from $462.50. Yes still a profit, but that is putting no value on his time, and nothing going wrong. Granted, if someone is paying for hanging weight, then that is what they are paying for. BUT MOST PEOPLE don't realize that they are not getting the "full Hanging Weight" back in actual beef. That does not mean the supplier has any other responsibility to "make up the difference or anything" but it might kill his market the first year too...It's just another facet that you have to take into consideration when you do this...EDUCATE the buying public....
