A rough all in ESTIMATE for a whole beef with a hanging weight of 750lbs including standard processing is about $3,500. See details below for estimated amounts, yields, and examples. Animal/slaughter charges: Our animals typically get slaughtered around 1300lbs live weight. A whole beef typically has a hanging weight of about 750lbs. The vast majority of our animals fall right around this number but a hanging weight for a whole can range from 680-830lbs. A whole beef with a hanging weight of 750lbs typically results in about 400-450lbs of meat in your freezer; this includes everything from premium steaks to roasts and ground beef. The amount of finished meat and types of cuts will fluctuate/change depending on the cuts you choose and the size of the animal accordingly. Our price per pound (based on hanging weight) for a whole beef is $3.70/lb. This results in a cost of approximately $2,775 for the animal itself. A whole beef has a flat rate slaughter charge in the amount of $200 regardless of size/weight. There is a $100 online processing fee for a whole beef; this amount can be deducted if paying by cash or check. Reach out to us to take advantage of this discount. In total customer will pay R7R $3075 via credit card online or $2,975 cash/check for the animal and slaughter charges for a whole beef to then be custom processed. Note: If animal has a hanging weight of LESS than 750lbs hanging weight then customer will be credited the difference at the rate of $3.70/lb hanging weight. If animal has a hanging weight of MORE than 750lbs customer will not owe R7R any additional amount directly but will pay the additional processing fees to processor (see processing section). Examples: (all examples exclude card processing fee and assume cash price) Hanging weight of 720lbs (less than 750lbs): 720lbs (hanging weight) x $3.70/lb = $2,664 + $200 slaughter charge = $2,864. Resulting in a credit to you of $111 from R7R. Processing charges are additional and are paid directly to the processor upon customer picking the meat up. Hanging weight of 800lbs (greater than 750lbs): The total amount owed to R7R for the cost of the animal and slaughter charge would remain at $2,975.
