The buyers are usually VERY generous at our County Fair fat stock auctions. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Mar 31 2023 prices. if the quarter you're looking at is about the same size as the one I recently got, $900 is apparently not out of line and you're also helping a 4H kid https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/lsmngfbeef.pdf The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.

About what we were quoted for a half from a bud. Saved the $$ for now as we are trying to start a new home build. Wondering if the half beef and no house would be smarter!!🤣🤣 Last edited by 10gaugemag; 04/18/23. The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

I didn’t charge for kill fee. It wasn’t much. Maybe $75 an animal? Average beef I hung was around 7-800 pounds on the hook. Might of gone 1400 on the hoof.

Good stuff always but we can't eat that much beef any more. We paid the farm family for the beef by the pound based on hanging weight and then paid for our share of processing. Seems like it was 350-450 bucks but its been awhile. "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passin.'"
