Beef Processing
Beef processing is billed using two charges:
- Kill cost: $125.00 per head
- Processing cost: $1.10 per lb hanging weight
Estimated Example
A beef with an estimated 900 lb hanging weight would be calculated as:
900 lb × $1.10 = $990.00 processing cost
$990.00 + $125.00 kill cost = $1,115.00 estimated total
Hog Processing
Hog processing is billed using two charges:
- Kill cost: $100.00 per head
- Processing cost: $1.00 per lb hanging weight
Estimated Example
A hog with an estimated 300 lb hanging weight would be calculated as:
300 lb × $1.00 = $300.00 processing cost
$300.00 + $100.00 kill cost = $400.00 estimated total
Final processing cost is based on the animal's actual hanging weight, animal type, selected cut list, packaging requests, and any specialty processing services requested. The prices shown are estimates until the animal is received, weighed, and processed.
