[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1294968, member: 21715"] People write one check up front and get 225-300lbs of beef (depending on how long it's been aged) over the next 1.5 to 5.0 years (depending on how quickly they eat it; they'll get it in 70-100 pound bunches). Our program is a bit more complicated than anything else I'm aware of --- it's a program of our own design --- and we get super premiums for our high-touch approach to getting great beef in the hands of families wanting healthy and flavorful beef ... and a great story to go along with it. While we don't price it by the pound, in order to translate to a more common production model ... two winters ago, we got a little over $4/lb (hanging weight) for a 12yr old cull cow (and our buyers were clamoring for her beef; the phrase 'beef butter' was used to describe her ribeyes and filets); earlier this year, we got similar pricing for a bull who was no longer fitting our program (and our buyers told us his roasts were so tender they cut them with their forks -- not bad for a 5yr old in-tact bull).
