Cost for Custom Half beef
Our price is $4.50 per lb. (hanging weight). Bluebonnet Meat Company in Trenton Texas charges 90 cents per lb. processing on the hanging weight (vacuum-packaged) plus a fixed charge of $37.50/half or $75.00/whole beef.  An extra $0.35/lb. for vacuum-packaging ground beef is charged, or it will be sleeve packaged.

270 lbs. (hanging weight) X ($4.50 + $0.90) + $37.50.00 = $1495.50.
