Would you like to know more about what you are going to get?

    Buying whole and half animals can be very confusing.  Let us show you an
example of what you should expect, and do some of the math.

Beef  Breakdowns
Price:
$1.50 live weight grain or grass finished Dexter or Angus
+ processing ($35.00 + $0.36/lb)


Angus steer, grained:
1300lbs x $1.50= $1950
+processing (806lbs)
$35+ (806 x $0.36)= $325
    Total price = $2275
That’s 650lbs of beef at $3.50/lb

Angus steer, no grain:
1200lbs x $1.50= $1800
+processing (744lbs)
$35+ (744 x $0.36)= $303
    Total price = $2103
That’s 600lbs of beef at $3.51/lb

The 1200# grass steer should give*
42 pounds of Chuck Roast
18 pounds of Arm roast
32 ¾” Rib Steaks
32 short ribs
16 pkg of soup bones
24 pounds of rump roast
12 pounds of Sirloin top Roast

Dexter steer, grass or grain finished:
700lbs x $1.50= $1050
+processing (420lbs)
$35+ (420 x $0.36)= $186

That’s 350lbs of beef at $3.53/lb


The 700 lbs Dexter should give you:
25 lbs of Chuck
11 lbs of Arm roast
20 ¾” rib eye steaks
20 short ribs

on size, % fat and other variables.  Pounds were rounded to the closest number.
