Beef wholesale pricing

[dodgecat]

What's the going rate for the sale of beef? Have the opportunity to buy a half of beef and wondering what should I expect for a price?

[Deerdigger]

depending, you slautering yourself, or getting it in packages? im thinking live weight your looking in the $1.25-$1.45 lbs. im thinking.

We just bought a half from Spenst Bros. in Winkler. I think we paid 2.70 or 2.80 cut, wrapped, and frozen. That's a hanging weight though so you get less after trimming.

about 2.20 hanging plus your cutting expense.

You should expect 1.80 cents for the meat and .45 to .55 per pound for cut and wrap.

I figure that if we butchered a beef right now we would charge 2.80 a pound cut and wrapped for angus beef....at the moment, on the hoof is paying better then on the hook.

I paid 1.70 for the meat. Can remember how much the cut and wrap was.
