It has been forever since we bought part of steer, but this fall we had the chance to buy a grass fed one from Wundrows. This is a Brown Swiss Steer who has basically grass fed his whole life. Processing was done at Lake Geneva Country Meats at $.82/pound, which included the kill fee and wrap fee. We didn't get anything extra like tenderizing or patties done to the meat, which would have been an upcharge.
Hamburger: 66 pounds, in 1 pound packs
Liver: 4 pounds, 6 packs
Oxtails: 3 pounds, 1 pack
Heart: 3 pounds, 1 pack
Beef Suet:
Brisket: 4 pounds, 2 packs
Short ribs: 13 pounds, 5 oz, 6 packs
Stew meat: 8 pounds, 5 oz, 6 packs
Soup bones: 20 pounds, 9 packs
Knuckle bones: 3 pounds, 1 pack
Round Roast: 6 pounds, 6 oz, 2 packs
Chuck Roast: 27 pounds, 7oz, 8 packs
Rump Roast 6 pounds, 7 oz, 2 packs
Arm Roast: 7 pounds, 2 oz, 2 packs
Sirloin Tip Roast: 6 pounds, 9 oz, 2 packs
Sirloin Steak: 16 pounds, 11 oz, 11 packs
T-bone Steak: 9 pounds, 8 oz, 7 packs
Flank Steak: 1 pound, 2 oz, 1 pack
Skirt Steak: 1 pound, 14 oz, 2 packs
Porterhouse Steak: 3 pounds, 8 oz, 2 packs
Rib Steak: 10 pounds, 12 oz, 7 packs
Round Steak: 12 pounds, 11 oz, 8 packs
I did get some suet, but I somehow didn't weigh it, so it isn't in the total.
Total meat listed above is 231.5 pounds. The $.82/pound must be on hanging weight, not on processed weight as the charge would have been less if it was on the processed weight. The charge to Wundrows was based on live weight and was $1.30/pound I believe. We paid them a total of $781.00 and we paid Lake Geneva a total of $247.63. This brings our total cost to $1028.63.
We ended up paying a total of $4.44/pound for everything we got, including the bones. Basically the same price, or a bit cheaper than what we paid 6 years ago, so we can't complain at all!
