[QUOTE="Jacob, post: 1732534, member: 13472"] I don’t charge by hanging weight. I just charge flat fees. I find that the consumer don’t understand live weight, hanging weight, or take home weight. I also don’t like the idea of having to Waite to get the hanging weight before I get my money. So we charge $3300 for a whole, $1650 for a half and $900 for a $1/4. I’m going up some next year but I find most people like it that way because there is no surprises. I’ll make adjustments if I need to if it’s a small calf so I’m fair with my customers. I’m paid in full prior to taking to processor and have cut sheets in hand so the processor isn’t waiting on my. As you said in a previous post we as farmers should make it easy on them so they will do us favors if needed by getting an extra one in here and there. My goal hanging weight is 750 pounds that I base my price off of. [/QUOTE]
