$10.99 lb HGWT or about $14/pound after the bones have been removed. The final price (between $2,500 and $3,000) will be determined by the weight of the side and is due on delivery or pickup.
These sides weigh around 250 pounds per half-hanging weight which yields about 180 pounds of packaged meat. This package includes a mix of approximately 45% steaks and roasts, 45% ground beef, and 10% misc cuts. This is great savings at $14/pound - a 25% savings.
For instance, if the hanging weight is 250 pounds, you will pay $2,400 for 180 pounds of beef. This means you will pay about $14 per pound of beef which is cut to your specifications and cryovac'd for freshness.
