1400lb steer and butcher combined price around $2k?


And what you get 500lbs of meat?

$4/lb straight across for what goes in the freezer. Maybe $5?



Curious to hear what Bob says.


I might be low balling the steer price?


Neighbor thought he was about $600 for butcher fee, I figure $1/lb for the critter but that is probably low.



Sam.....$500 hundred cut and wraped.......75 cents on the ticket......comes out mark of the devil 666,666 ..bob
