how much for half beef
How much will the beef cost me and how can I compare the Hollin price with that of others? We estimate a price of $6.50 per pound for a whole young beef, $6.75 per pound for a half or side, and $6.95 for a quarter (half of a half) beef for the cut weight (not the hanging weight).e have less of a markup for an order of a whole or half beef so we estimate combined prices per pound for a whole at about $6.50 and for a half or side at $6.75. Price will vary a few pennies of each side of this bench mark depending on the individual animal and how you cut your beef.
