[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1550533, member: 498"] I picked up my beef today. 17 days since the kill so it hung 14 or 15 days. What got me although I am not surprised was the cost of cutting and wrapping. It was $0.79 a pound. I realize it was half a century ago but when I was in high school I sold locker beef for $0.73 a pound hanging and the cut and wrap cost 4 cents. I got $2.00 a pound for the other half of this beef. So the beef cost a little less than 3 times what it did in 1969 but the cut and wrap is 20 times higher. If I didn't know better I would think farmers and ranchers are getting screwed. [/QUOTE]
