[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 893941, member: 7509"] I do not claim "grass fed" - just "natural". Folks mostly like knowing where their beef comes from and how it was raised - and is it tender and does it taste good. Regardless of what you call it. I gather from your screen name that you are into all "grass fed"? Where in WI are you located (approx)? On pricing, no that is not right. The 100 lb is about what a SPLIT half (=1/4) weighs @$4 (an old price) each steer grosses about $1600 not $800. I based my original pricing based on the goal of getting $1.30/lb live weight. At the time this seemed impossible. As the market for fats get closer to that I do ask myself if selling freezer beef is worth the trouble. But I love the beef myself and have customers looking for more each year. I need to reevaluate my selling price for the upcoming season. BTW one drawback to this system is that I only have beef for sale once a year. Jim [/QUOTE]
