[QUOTE="Aero, post: 671363, member: 2076"] what's a cow gonna cut out? 1250 lb cow, might hang 50% => 625 lb, packaged might be 40% => 250 lb 1250 lb cows are bringing $600-700 $650/250lb = $2.60/lb this is to break even and is a lot more trouble than dropping her off at the barn and getting a check. if she has a broken leg, you wont get anything for her at the barn, so be happy somebody wants her. if you make it the same as the supermarket, nobody can argue with your price. if you make it $3/lb you might have to work at it, but you could make some extra money (the burger is the same whether he rleg is broken or not).
