what is the average cost per pound for raising beef
Our 2018 beef is priced at $3.25 per pound hanging weight, and processing cost will depend on which plant you select. The total cost of our all-natural, packaged beef, including processing fees for 2018, is about $6.20 per pound (take-home). In 2018 a quarter of beef, processing included, costs about $740-$920. A half of a beef costs approximately $1440-$1840 and a whole animal approximately $2880-$3480. How do I pay for the beef? Sauer Family Beef will contact you in May with the exact hanging weight and cost of your beef. You may then pay for your beef by cash, check or credit card.
