If I could get that much per beast I'd move the family out of the house and the cows in. David C

With a 1,000 lb animal on the hoof that dresses out at 500 lbs. that comes to roughly $1,700 per animal, which is way, way over beef prices. Of course, I'll have about 300 in butchering and wrapping costs, so the net is under $1,500 and when I add up all the other costs it is under $1,000. Still worth it. > > Best, > Hugh Lovel > Visit our website at: www.unionag.org > >
