hello all I'm new here but have been reading posts for the past three months or so. All the info here is great and has helped me towards my new venture.
Long story short I have now been approved to be a vendor at 2 new farmer markets in my area this spring to sell natural beef and chevon. I currently own no cattle or goats but have a good deal worked out with another farmer that has sold at farmer markets the past 4 years. This year to help me get started I will market under their label and buy finshed steers from them. We will weigh the steers at the farm and I will pay for the live weight then(not sure what the price per # will be). My question is what price per # should I expect to pay or what is a fair price? Steers weigh between 900 to 1000 pounds, are roughly 17 months old, pature based, alittle grain supplemented and angus sired.
Any thoughts or comments
Thanks
