[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 375468, member: 87"] We also sell shares and broker the processing. We charge $1.62/lb live wt which translates to $2.70/lb hanging wt on average. Processing is $60 kill, plus 0.45/lb hang wt. This still makes our beef about $0.60/lb of boneless retail product less than that at the grocery store currently. One needs to make a profit or all the work is wasted. When we set a price at signup , we gurarantee that price at delivery. There must be a cushion. Like last year we experienced a 51% increase in corn, 26% increase in fuel, etc, but the price quoated one year earlier was honored, and was high enough to absorb this without causing us a loss. Be careful, add in all the costs before you set a price. People are willing to pay for source verified products, they will pay a lot more than at a superstore. Set your sites high to start, it will be very hard to make a major incrase later.
