I charge $2.50/ # hanging weight but, I also cover the butchering cost. Get to know the farmer/ rancher and what he's feeding the animals. I believe you will be well pleased going that route as the meat will be far superior than anything you can buy from most grocery stores.

Just a note on buying by hanging weight: The butcher will let the animal hang in the cooler for about a week. Then he will weigh the halves, that is the weight you will be buying. Then the butcher will cut to your liking but, keep in mind he will be removing some bone and fat so, the weight you receive will not be exact to the hanging weight. You are buying a half of a steer and someone is paying the butcher to cut it to your specs. Buying this way is not like going to Walmart and buying by the pound (or at least not in the same sense).
