half a beef cost
Total cost estimate: Beef price, whole and half, is $3.40 per pound hanging weight PLUS Processing fee. Example: If the beef hanging weight is 750 lbs, the cost is 750 lbs times $3.40/lb PLUS the processing fee (estimated $600-650 for a whole beef).he animal cost is paid to Croftburn Market. A deposit is required at time of ordering ($1000 for whole, $500 for half, and $250 for quarter). Final payment is due when we deliver the beef to the processor and get a hanging weight.
