Just paid $1575 for half steer dressed weight 295 pounds... still need to pay the butcher another $630. Sounds like you got a great deal. From California here. 🐮
WRONG! She forgot to divide the dressed weight by 2, for half a cow! Half of 793 is 396.50 lbs (not including aging and deboning); $1643.80 divided by 396.5 = $4.15 per pound! Still a good deal.
Respectfully ask to revisit your numbers. Actual meat would be closer to 528 pounds after aging, trim and deboning (40% live weight). Since you got half, that would be 264 pounds of usable product, or $6.22 per pound. Still a great deal though
I want to do this but I can't afford it. It's $10 a pound where I live. That's directly from the farm. Just can't put out that kind of money all at once.
I teamed up with a member of my family and we split the cost of half a cow. (It normally last my family almost a year along with the other meats we have) I just kept putting up the money I would normally spend through the year on beef items. By the next year I had a hunk to spend. It’s a lot to put out at once’s but very well worth it! I hope you can find a way to do it soon!
@@Fodiehillfarm I live alone. I thought about trying to buy a quarter beef but I don't want all hamburger. I like steaks. I always cut up the roasts into steaks. I like liver. How much would a quarter pound last one person? I mean a quarter beef? How much would a half a beef last one person?
@@nogames8982 it depends on how much of other meat you eat. We are a family of 4 and we eat chicken, pork, and deer along with the beef. It’s last us almost a year. So I would assume a quarter beef would last you as long too!
@@Fodiehillfarm well, I took the plunge. I bought a half cow. Everything all added up together came to $8.89 a pound. Which I realize is high but for my area that’s not bad. some friends of mine bought 50 pounds of it. I had the first ribeye last week and it was the best ribeye I’ve ever had.

I know if you buy a cow that was used for milk you get mostly fat so I was told it depends on what kind of cow you buy i was told you want a muscle meat and it should hang about 5 to 12 days to draw so many pounds of fluid out I was told us get better meat and you are not paying gor that extra fluids

@@Rattlerjake1 That's better than a good deal, can't even get ground beef for $4.15 per pound these days.
@@PF_Goat - It all depends on WHERE you live. Cost of Living is different everywhere.
Thank you for sharing 👊🏾💚😊

We are about to do this with our bull. You got a ton of beef. Nice video.
I like the sound of your voice
Do you have a link for the freezer temp monitors? Thank you in advance. Shelby

Great video! Where did you buy your half cow?
A local processor that does my deer. He gets with a rancher that raises cattle and they do cows on the off season.
