[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 631932, member: 2383"] That's why we have the purchaser pay the butcher fees. Last year with everything included the actual cost per lb of delivered meat was around $2.9x for each person, including everything from steaks to burger. All of the meat is vacuum packaged, also. We grain ours for about a month after weaning, about 3-4lbs/day or so, then they're turned loose with the weaned heifers for about 4 months on stockpiled fescue. Then they go in the lot and are fed for about 90 days, I don't have the cost figures for this year's group yet but I'm keeping pretty close tabs on them so far. For simplicity's sake, let's use a 1000lb animal. If you sell him at $1.25/lb on the hoof, that's $1250. If he hangs 60%, that's 600lbs x $2/lb to the tune of $1200. If by chance he hangs 65%, then it's $1300. Six one way, half a dozen the other. [/QUOTE]
