Ones out there doing it, what kind of prices are you getting for pasture raised angus? do you go by live weight or hanging weight?

WOW $3,000 hd for 1335 lb steer plus processing and you get to weigh the steer!Ol' 243":32vp3rar said:I sell mine live weight,.... for 2.25 lb.
You can get around all that by selling the animal delivered to the butcher of their/your choice and they pay the butcher for processing the meat however they prefer.ky colonel":ohvr0rgw said:i had to do usda, get health inspected $150, and that was it as long as i stay small one or two animals at a time is what the health inspector said. then if i got bigger or sold to a grocery store they would be more permits....

How many do you sell a month?
.... maybe there's one born every 30 seconds these days, rather than every minute
1.39 lb live weight = 2.25 lb hanging weight
1.42 lb live weight = 2.30 lb hanging weight
1.50 lb live weight = 2.43 hanging weight
1.85 lb live weight = 2.99 lb hanging
2.00 lb live weight = 3.25 lb h.w.
Highest price I know of is an Organic Grassfed operation that sells beef 1/4s to restaurants 3.99 lb hanging weight plus processing.
You got me wrong. I Love How You Do Business... I'm jealous! Sounds like Easy Money and selling out 100% of inventoryOl' 243":33fupbeg said:Son of Butch":33fupbeg said:WOW $3,000 hd for 1335 lb steer plus processing and you get to weigh the steer!Ol' 243":33fupbeg said:I sell mine live weight,.... for 2.25 lb.

Well Sonabutch, never sold one that weighed 1335, most I weighed one was 1125, but yes, I sell every one I can produce privately. And yes, I weigh every one I haul at my neighbors digital scale that he let's me use. Sorry if you don't like how I do business, but I really don't give a shyt one way or the other.

store the price and quality they are selling pales in comparison to what someone can buy freezer beef ....
