[QUOTE="Schmitty, post: 1742290, member: 29882"] Just had two of my cattle slaughtered, last year the mobile butcher was charging $120 per head and the butcher was .70 a pound cut/wrapped. Which was up from the year before at $100 a head and .58 a pound cut/wrapped. Yesterday the mobile slaughter was $150 a head and the butcher is $1.00 a pound on 900 pounds or less and $1.50 a pound on 901 pounds or more. So even at the bottom level it’s costing more for beef on the table. I can understand why the mobile slaughter is up, when you are driving an Fl70 weighing 36k pounds all over the county at current fuel prices you are losing money if your not upping your prices. I guess maybe butcher paper costs more and that’s why costs have gone up there too? [/QUOTE]
