Sounds like it's in the $3000 range now based on the post above.

Basing this on him posting an avg hanging weight of 963.

*half of a side (quarter) is what I had. Sorry.

The price hasn’t gone too crazy. I couldn’t imagine someone buying Shawn’s beef and saying it wasn’t worth it.

Yes, includes processing. Take the hanging weight or dressed weight or rail weight, times $6

The price of cattle is that high now though.

I doubt the price of beef is going to come down much in the near future. The size of the national herd is low and will take time to rebuild. Trump is allowing some Argentine beef to come in, which may lower the cost of burger a bit, but I hope the government does something to encourage cattlemen, especially the smaller outfits, to keep their calves and raise them up instead of selling them off so we can build back the size of the national herd.
