Beef Shares
Beef Shares
It is $5.65 per pound, which includes processing. The price is based off of "hanging weight" of the cow, which is typically 60% of the live weight.
If the cow being butchered is 1420-pound cow, the numbers for the whole cow would be:
60% - 850 pounds hanging weight.
60% - 510 pounds for take home in meat.
A whole cow of this size is 850 pounds x 5.65 = $4,802.50
A 1/2 (Half) beef would hang at 425 pounds x 5.65 = $2401.25
A 1/4 (Quarter) beef would hang at 212.50 and total take home would be 130 lbs of meat (this includes all cuts of meat). Total take home would be $1,200.62 for this size cow.
This is just an example of calculations not exactly the amount you will be getting. Most beef shares are between 1000 - 1300 lbs.
Deposit must be received prior to being processed. Deposit is non-refundable (if buyer chooses to back out or cannot come up with remaining balance). Deposit will be applied to the total amount owed (example: $1,200.62 (total) - $125 = $1075 owed upon delivery.
