[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 788800, member: 7509"] I find if you limit your sales to those willing to take a whole or half, drive to a processor and handle/store/freeze that much beef you are really reducing the size of your potential market. I have been charging $3.90/lb for a split half cut, wrapped, and delivered. I backed into this price by figuring I want the same net as selling a traditional fat for $1.30 at the sale barn. A split half ends up being about 100 lb of beef which is a quantity many families can afford, handle, freeze/store and use in a reasonable amount of time. I have no cuts left over. I may increase this a bit in the future due to fuel cost increases. With this method you can eat up a lot of time and fuel if you don't keep your customer base close together and focus your sales on one city/suburb etc. Jim [/QUOTE]
