We are sending our first steer to the processor in December. My question is, I don't know how much to charge my buyers who are taking the other 3 quarters. I know there should be a price by hanging weight. I think when he gets there he is gonna weigh approx. 1000 lbs live weight. I can't go by how much $ I have into the animal or I would have to charge a fortune (there is no profit in small scale beef). Can someone give me an "average" of how much to charge hanging weight.
(We just sold some pigs for 1.25lb hanging wt.) Please tell me I'll get a little more for my beef! (Didn't make any profit on the pigs, but they taste good!
