I bought one at a benefit auction a few months back..... some of the best beef I've ever had. We got as many roast as possible and had them cut into 2-3lb portions. Cook a little quicker and not as much left overs.

There's a place by me that advertises $3 a lb before butchering and they say a half of a cow is 700-800 lbs. All I really need is someone to cut the steaks and piece up for me but I'm assuming if I pay a butcher anything they are going to have to do it properly? I've butchered a bunch of deer myself but I don't make t-bones and what not, I don't have a band saw.

Is a butcher going to cost more than $1/ lb for 750 lbs? I'd think they could easily do a half cow in a day and $750 seems like a lot for that work? I'd be curious how much ground you'd get from something like that? I mean $4/ lb is great for some cuts, but for ground its nothing special?
