[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14727"] Last November, we butchered a Limousin steer that was 21 months old. His hanging weight (the day they butchered him) was 864 pounds. The meat we got back was 555 pounds (weighed as we put it in the freezer -- it was already frozen, so whatever that indicates, I do not know.) We had the option of keeping any organs (they asked which we wanted, and they gave them to us the day they butchered.) I asked for the head, and was charged no differently for the keeping of that, however, if I had opted to keep the hide, it would have cost us more. We paid forty dollars for the butchering and 34 cents a pound for the cut and wrapped hanging weight. My folks told me (they have been doing this for about fifty years) that our butcher was very reasonable, even cheaper than what they pay for on the coast.
