[QUOTE="terra8186, post: 617152, member: 8649"] Here is what happens. You take a 1000lb steer to get processed. After the hide/blood/head/organs are all removed it hangs at around 600lbs. You have it cut and packaged and you end up with 400 lbs of meat. Some people around here price it at $1/lb on the hoof (1*1000)= $1000/steer Other people price it at $1.65/lb hanging (600*1.65) = $990/steer Processing is $.40/lb + $40 kill = $240+40 = $280 After it is all said and done you get 400lbs of meat for $1300 = $3.25/lb of meat. $1,100 seems unreasonable or they have giant cattle in your area.
