GRASS-FED BEEF PRICES 2011 consignment prices for a whole, half, or quarter beef are $3.85 per pound hanging weight. Note: Texas Meat Packers went up 10 cents on their price and they no longer deliver the beef to Mineola. I must drive 90 miles round trip, so I added 5 cents for the extra gas I will use. I have only passed along my increased expenses. My profit has not increased for two years. Price breakdown: What this means is that if a calf weighed 1000 pounds on the hoof, after slaughter the carcass will be hung in the cooler for aging as two sides (or two halves) of beef. Each half might weight 250 pounds for a total of 500 pounds for both sides. A quarter beef might weigh around 125 pounds. Mineola Meat Processing will weigh the carcass before delivery to Mr. Gentry in Henderson. Whatever the beef weighed at Mineola multiplied by $3.85 per pound is the price. All cutting and packaging is included in this price. I sometimes deliver and charge a delivery fee of $35.00. This must be coordinated at consignment. Remember that if a quarter of beef weighed 125 pounds hanging, there will be discarded bones and fat plus shrinkage that reduces this weight. Therefore the packages in a box will not weight the full 125 pounds I had 8 calves born in 2009 for consignment in 2011 beginning around August and ending late Fall. All calves are consigned already and there are several on the waiting list because sometimes a customer will back out or cancel the order so please sign up for a 1/4 or 1/2 as soon as possible. If you contact me, I will put you on the list for any cancellations and I will call you immediately. [ bigoaks@sydcom.net or 903-557-1016 cell] Title emails "Grass fed Beef order".
