The math when ordering meat in bulk...
The math when ordering meat in bulk...
For example: When ordering meat in bulk from Honeybee's Homestead you pay the farm 4.50 lb (beef) based on the hanging weight of the animal. Hanging weight is the weight of the carcass after it is slaughtered and prepared to be cut into your selections. Most hanging weights are approximately 2/3 of the live weight. In addition, you will pay the butcher, at the time of pick-up, for butchering in accordance with your selections. Typically, the butcher will charge around .70/lb hanging weight + a slaughter fee of around $40. ** prices are subject to change.
1/4 BEEF Example: -Grand Total: $924
(all numbers approximate and vary based on exact weight per animal and your choice of cuts at butcher)
Live Weight 1,100 lbs (x .62) = 682 lbs hanging weight /4 =170
Paid to Honeybee's Homestead: 170 lbs x $4.50 = $765
Paid to Butcher: $0.70 x 170 lbs hanging weight + $40 slaughter fee = $159
1/2 PORK Example: Grand Total: $541
(all numbers approximate and vary based on exact weight per animal and your choice of cuts at butcher)
Live Weight 320 lbs
Hanging Weight 230lbs/2=115 lbs
Paid to Honeybee's Homestead : 115 lbs x $3.50 = $402
Paid to Butcher: $0.72 x 115 lbs hanging weight + $45 slaughter fee + $12 for 20 lbs smoked pork fee (bacon, ham- will be more or less based on your choices) $139
Beef & Pork butchering is the same process; same equation. The price per lb may vary and change based on market conditions.
