I bought a steer some months ago.
Cost me $850.00. Grass fed, the switched to corn/grain for 3 months.
Went to the packer last Tuesday. Was whacked Wednesday.
$85.00 to whack him, and processing is 0.80 a hanging pound. He should weigh about 600- 700 pounds, hanging.
Counting liver, heart, and tongue, should get somewhere around 300 to 400 pounds back, ready for the freezer.
Looking like maaaaybe, $ 5.00 a pound, straight across the board.
