I paid $5.86 hanging weight for 1/4 cow from Cross P livestock in Belville, price included delivery to Houston.
On average, the take home weight to hanging weight ratio works out to between 60-65%, so there's a considerable amount of weight loss in the final product between bones and heavy fat trimming, etc.
Quick calculations show if the hanging weight is 300 lbs., you will wind up with 195 lbs. if you get 65% finished product. That brings the price up to $9.01 a lb.

Yea that's about right. I think it was about 200 lbs delivered. That was for half, which I split with a friend so 100 lbs to me.
