 * Processing costs can vary depending on how you want it processed and packaged.  This is generally around 48 cents/lb but can vary slightly.  A flat processing fee of about $42 is charged per steer and will be divided and billed evenly among the four quarters.

Our beef is sold by "hanging weight".   Keep in mind that 30-45% of the hanging weight can be lost during cutting.  This loss is from bones and fat.  This loss can vary depending on the cow and your cutting instructions.
