[QUOTE="Bez, post: 49886, member: 412"] Here is how I do it: Find out what the rail price for beef is. That is the value for an animal after it has been slaughtered and is hanging. Your slaughter house will know what the price is. Add in the cost for killing, cutting and wrapping. Total it all up and that is the bare minimum price. In my area the average price for all of this comes to about $1.75 per pound after the animal is processed. Put any profit and expenses you want on top of that - ie: 50 bucks for hauling the animal to be killed and so on. In the end a person gets a whole half of beef for around $2 bucks to $2.50 a pound - give or take a few dollars. Do not worry about the cost of various cuts. One 15 pound prime rib roast will easily go the best part of 100 bucks or better in a store. Burger goes for around two bucks a pound for better quality - and often higher. In the end your family will get 300 pound plus of quality meat per side for around 600 - 700 dollars. There is no way in Gods Green Acres they could do this in any store. As for inspection - well, most reputable processors do this anyway - and it is an added bonus. Whatever you do, do not start trying to figure out what each cut of meat is worth - believe me it will run you into trouble in the end. So you will probably end up with about 1200 bucks in your jeans for each animal before you factor in all of your costs for travel and processing. Any more questions you can PM me Regards Bez [/QUOTE]
