[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1648475, member: 498"] Last spring I bought an open young cow which I had ground into burger. She cost me $635. The slaughter and processing cost $633. She hung up 650 pounds. Figuring boning one out and grinding you lose 50% from hanging weight. So that would be 325 pounds of burger. And guessing from all those heavy boxes that is a good figure. That works out to $3.89 per pound. Where she came from (big high desert ranch in SE Oregon) I am certain she never saw any grain in her life. There would have been no hormones and the only antibiotics she would have received would have been if she was sick. She didn't look like she had been sick. I would have been tickled to get $7.00 a pound. That would have made me $1,010. [/QUOTE]
