[QUOTE="hayray, post: 377032, member: 3046"] Break even cost is going to be close to $3.00/ lb. for selling cut and packaged beef. I sell it by the cut weight and I have it figured out right now to be around $2.90/lb. for just breaking even, so if the standard in retail is that you need to make a 30% profit so add that on. If you are selling beef by the cut weight you then have a lot more work to do so you then start incurring some of the cost of a meat distributor, like transportantion, on farm freezers, delivery, and taking orders for the processor, so you should charge more than a custom exempt order purchased by the hanging weight. Yield of meat will be approximatley 40% of the live weight on a nicely finished steer, fat heifers it can be a lot lower. Also, you will get more cutting loss from orders for boneless cut sides.
