Selling Freezer Beef

[chippie]

What really takes the cake is when someone tries to get you to lower your price. "It doesn't cost that much at the store."
It isn't only selling beef. I have people who ask about buying eggs and when I tell them the price ($2/doz) I get told that they can buy them for $1.99 at the store. GRRRR.......

Lots of good input here, Thanks. Sounds to me like dealing with the general public has been the problem with most of you and I can completely understand that.

We were selling freezer beef until this year. Had some problems with a "gamey" aftertaste in the last 3 steers so I'm trying a new butcher.
Last 2 I butchered weighed 1075 and 1130. Not thrillled with my costs either at this point.

Anyway, I'm out until I get something consistent going.
