For simply calculating board feet you measure it all. There is more than just board feet figured into price. The log buyer also has to rate the log to yield of value of the wood and discounts for suspected defects (knots, etc). For example, the mill spread at one particular mill here on black walnut in May of last year was a low of $.17/bdft International to a high of $1.35/ bdft International. I sold them a whole semi load and 'negotiated' with the grader. Made him a challenge and sold on yield. Came out a grand total of $13.22 to the good and I had to stand there all day (pretty low hourly wage).
