[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1742371, member: 32659"] If the packers by a 1,200# steer @ $1.25 or $1,500 and it only yeilds 60% beef that's $2.08 a pound for the beef. Plus they've got labor, trucking, yardage, processing cost, on and on. Does anyone know what they do with the other 40% of the animal to recoup some of the cost. I'm sure there's something but I have no idea. When I'm at the butcher shop there looks to be very little usable stuff left. [/QUOTE]
