Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Beef prices in the store !

One or two local meat market/butcher shops usually have a sale on pork in April... Last year it was $2.30/# for half a hog - cut, vacuum packed and ready for pickup... Beef runs about $3.30 usually, but this week I ordered a quarter from another place.. I pay the farmer for the hanging weight of the quarter, and the shop charges $1.80# for processing.. Only thing I buy at our local grocery store is chicken - when it's cheap - and stock up with at least a month's worth, otherwise I let it go....
