What does the report tell me. High yield is listed as $110-$115. Is this per 100 lbs???
The bottom one was $ 85 is this per hundred or each?
Thanks, don't raise or buy steer,

only buy beef products when they go on sale.
Tuesday 80/20 ground beef (hamburger) was 2.69 per pound. bought two family packs as it was BOGO. so I paid app. 1.35 per pound plus tues. is senior day so I saved another 5%.

Yes, that's per hundredweight. but it is a little deceiving. A calf ready for butcher will hang (after the guts, feet, and other non meat parts are removed) at 58% to 65% of live weight. Then after deboning and excess fat you wind up with around 60% again. So a 1,200 lb calf will yield about 400# of salable meat, including hamburger. At $1.00 per pound waiting to be butchered, that equates to $3.00 per pound cost to the packing plant, plus their cost. Then add in shipping, storage, packaging, marketing, and grocery store profit and it is hard to stay below $4.00 per pound for basic hamburger. Prices shown below are loss leaders.

Just bought a side from a friend. 400 lb hanging weight @ $2.40 a lb, so 960 a side or $1920 a whole. Butcher got $300 per side....not cheap, but I know where my meat came from!

You're showing your age; I remember that also. 1960's prices from an outfit called Safeway. (Hy-Vee put Safeway out of business, at least in Ioway) I still don't understand what a Food Lion or Kroger or Wind Dixie is. Seems like a LOT of good people are getting ripped off by National Chain Stores.

Those Porterhouse/T-bone steaks are what they call a "loss leader." It's meant to get you into the store where you'll probably buy a bunch of other stuff.
If it was a real drop in beef prices, you'd see it across the board as a decrease in regular, "non-sale" prices on the meat.

Probably imported grass fed stuff
Kroger is one of the largest food store chains in the US. Ruller Foods is just a smaller Kroger owend store with more genaric foods priced at name brand prices. We have no Hy-Vee or Safeway here in this part of Ohio. And I don't consider Walmart to be a food store altho I once in a while buy food there. Most of the time they are higher priced.

And I must add,,even though I dont hunt,,I do cook a lot of deer meat,,the hunter at the farm usually gives me some,,and here in NJ my hunting friends are allowed many deer legally,,they give me a lot of meat too.I know pretty good how to work it up,,they give me big pieces,,sometimes a whole deer skinned out. I have an old electric grinder that still works well to make venison ground meat and sausage etc.
I just bought 1/2 a beef from my grower. I paid $1.20 per pound on the hoof. Cow weighed in at 1600lbs. My half netted right at 375lbs of beef in the freezer.
Cow $960
Processing $280
Total $1,240
$1,240/375lbs = $3.30 per pound. This includes roasts, steaks, burger, etc.
Think I got a fair deal.

The 22 head I sold this spring went for $3 per pound hanging weight, our butcher charges $40 per head slaughter fee and $0.53 per pound hanging weight for butchering. I think these numbers are almost exactly what robhuntn paid for his. I never have an animal get to 1600 pounds, my halves were 330# to 275# hanging, so I estimate 1000-1200 pounds live weight. I figure the customer gets meat for $5 per pound average or less. I only replaced 16 head for this year, so I doubt I will be lowering my prices, just thinning my customer list. I know, for sure, that the three people who have yet to pay for their meat will NOT be getting any more! Tough case, one had their 20 yo son die a few weeks after getting the beef, one guy has been in a nursing home since before the meat was ready, and the last quarter is family. Always with the family...

Dang Larry, some of you guys have ALL the luck! Can't touch either of those in our area for under $10/lb!! Never go on sale either.
Back in central MN, we went to a local grocery who must've had a disgruntled employee or something. Went in there and all their top grade beef steaks were marked pennies-on-the-dollar! Ended up getting Porterhouse, T-bone, New York Strip, Ribeye, etc, etc, etc. The most expensive steak (IIRC) was something like $0.53!! WOW!!! We filled up our cart like a whirlwind - and the kid had just brought them out, too.
Another time (mid-80's, in the USAF) I bought a Porterhouse that was marked down on clearance to take out to the Seguin Airfield. Being in fire dept, we had to be on duty while the pilots went and practiced their touch-and-go's. I let everyone else finish cooking their food, then was left with a barrel-cooker full of very hot Mesquite coals. Steak was so tender you could almost cut it with a 4-letter word!! :shock:

Ours was $1260 total....not sure how many lbs we wound up with, 4 boxes and a bag of bones. Steaks and roasts were vacuum sealed. Had the first T-bone last night, melt in your mouth good. When you figure what that steak would cost you at a high class restaurant it doesn't take much to hit a thousand bucks...
