We purchase a beef each fall from a local farmer friend. He sells it for the current market price. He doesn't charge us for delivery to the processor since he says he would have to deliver it to the market anyway. This year, we paid $1.00/lb for the 1200lb Angus, and the processing was $250.00. I figured we paid a little less than $2.00/lb. We're very satisfied with that. Can't buy at the store the quality of beef we get from him. He grass feeds and then grain feeds them for the last couple of weeks or so.
