For example: When ordering meat in bulk from Honeybee's Homestead you pay the farm 4.75 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: $966.50
(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 $4.75 = $807.50
Paid to Butcher: $0.70 x 170 lbs hanging weight + $40 slaughter fee = $159
