What do you charge your customer per pound for processed beef? Or, do you charge a flat amount. Does anyone sell directly to a specialty meat market? I'm located in north central Louisiana.
$3.75/lb hanging weight and I pay processing, haul to processing and deliver meat within a reasonable area. Will probably go up to $3.85/lb this spring due to feed costs and live cattle costs going up.What do you charge your customer per pound for processed beef? Or, do you charge a flat amount.

$.65 a pound? for cut and wrap/vacpac?$3.25 per lb HCW
Customer pays kill fee and processing. ($70 & $0.65 respectively)
That's a 2.6% price increase, I think you're losing ground as compared to your input costs. Feeder cattle and grain are both up more than that.$3.75/lb hanging weight and I pay processing, haul to processing and deliver meat within a reasonable area.

Do you charge more for a hindquarter than a forequarter?We charge a flat rate. Most of my customers don't understand live weight vs hanging weight Vs take home weight.
Whole $3300
Half $1650
1/4 $900
I get a $200 per quarter non refundable deposit.
I pay for processing.
I deliver to processor almost 2 hours away.
I pick up beef and meat in central location for pickup for no extra charge.
Thank you.$3.25 per lb HCW

May I ask what your processor charges per pound? Thanks for your info
I know it wasn't directed at me but where I'm at they don't divide it like that, they take a half and divide it evenly between the two people so each get equal portions of each cut.Do you charge more for a hindquarter than a forequarter?

Thanks again for the information. With feed going up, do you see a larger increase in the price you charge in the near future? I know you mentioned $3.85.I use 2 different ones, one is .75/ lb hw ( can't remember kill fee off hand) and the other is .55/lb hw $40 kill fee. I try to get in the cheaper one.
J+ Cattle, I'm interested in what price you would charge as well. Between the drought we are having and the feed bill, I'm considering $4 per lb. I appreciate the feed back.That's a 2.6% price increase, I think you're losing ground as compared to your input costs. Feeder cattle and grain are both up more than that.
