Very good Bullsteer=hanging wght multiplied by1.67=live weight Then apply market price
Example 800lb dresses out 480lb
That day's market on very good steers is $1.09
800lb steer sells for $872
Fine steer dresses 60% 1.67
good steer or fine heifer dresses 55% 1.82
avarege steer or good heifer dresses 50% 2.00
dairy 0r unfinished calf dresses 45% 2.23

I often let someone have half the meat if they pay all of the processing.

Sid,
How much per # does processing cost where you live? I just had a Beefalo processed and it cost less than 50 cents per # hanging weight.

I got a break from my brother - he only charged me 1.35 per processed pound for half a steer (not hanging weight - packaged weight), my share of the processing (tenderized the round steaks) was $135.

$2.10/lb. hanging weight. This includes kill,cut,wrap, and delivery to your door.
