[QUOTE="hayray, post: 629617, member: 3046"] I deliver almost all of my beef, however my liability covers people who visit my farm. Yes it is more work becaue not only now are you the beef producer but now you have to do the work of a beef distributor and then it becomes easy to see why beef at the store is marked up so much more then the weight on the rail. A side of beef is priced at $4.75/lb. I have several other packages. A primal cut steak is priced at $12.75/lb. Michigan State University did a study about beef producers in Michigan that sell freezer beef and on the average the most number of beefs sold off the farm was 10 hd per year direct marketed on the rail for even the big farms. I wanted to sell alot more then 10 head per year off the farm and did alot of research and figured that selling on the rail was probably one the most limiting factors that caused most producers to bottom out at 10 head. This allows me to have alot more customers because many of them buy small amounts, I am getting over $6/lb. for a 25 lb. variety package. [/QUOTE]
