how much could you buy a cow for and butcher it yourself?


Market price. Probably about $2 a pound live weight for a 1000lb steer. I havent checked prices in a while. That would yield you about 450 or 500 pounds of meat

That seems high to me? Don’t know, but $2000 for a 1,000 lbs? $4/ lb and that’s before packaging, transport, etc? You can get ground beef for under that.
