I have a fellow that is local who charges $125 for kill fee (will come and get it) and then $1.25 per pound wrapped. Does this sound right and would it be worth it? Even when buying a calf, feeding it, then butchering it. What is the ideal weight for going this route. Thanks for your help. Sarge

That sounds like a fair price, I'd want my steer at 12 to 1400 lbs live weight before slaughter

Thats a great price compared to here. Anything over 900 pounds is ready to butcher.

To me that is a very good price for you. Say a 1300 lbs. beef animal dresses out at 55% or 715 lbs. and you wind up with say 540 lbs.wrapped. That is $800 for slaughter, cutting, trimming, packaging and wrapping or a little over $1.50 to have it done and the supplies.

I just paid 3.30 a pound hanging weight for the beef and processing. i dont know who he is buying the cattle from but they are delicious. corn fed and aged in a cooler. so if you can compare that with what your doing thats the price here in east ks

Is that walking weight, hanging weight or wrapped weight?

prime yield grade ones are 1.55 on hoof, 2.40 hanging + .80 locker plant charge, so 3.30 is in line.
