[QUOTE="dieselbeef, post: 1032629, member: 4655"] i also raise and had at one time sold grass fnished beef. mine is more marketed as natural.. but as stated above..very hard to please everyone and be cost effective..everyone wants steaks,, or they want cuts that yield lower take home percentages... with th prices at todays salebarn i have found it harder to make a profit below the 4$/lb mark on a half avg about 600 on the rail. it seems hard to believe but when can haul a 500lber to the barn and make 1.40/lb i can only justify the costs for my own use. slaughter fee/butcher fee/time exp/travel exp as well as added cost to raise a steer to 1100 lbs takes about 20-22 mos here. people dont really understand it all so they want cheap...and 90% of america shops with thier wallet...hence the success of walmart [/QUOTE]
