[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 873618, member: 16552"] Inbred, I still don't understand your point. Even using your cost numbers, at the price that Hook is selling his product, he would be averaging a little under 30% Gross margin. I'm not sure what you do for a living, but in any business that's at the low end a perfect gross %. He is providing a high quality product to retail customers for 40-50% less than retail. I simply cannot understand your, as well as some others, problem with this. And while there may be a very few people around actually willing to buy a live animal at a sale barn & send it to the processor, it's RARE. So I call :bs: on your post about lots of average beef consumers doing it that way. I'm pretty sure that's how grocery stores manage to stay in business. As an aside, it sure would be nice if we had a processor around here that only charged .45/lb. I knew some prices were higher here but I'm paying .65 for beef & .70 for pork [/QUOTE]
