Beef quarters range from 170 pounds to 200 pounds (hanging weight) and yield between 75 and 115 pounds for cut meat for your freezer. The hanging weight price for a quarter is $5.00 per pound. (Double those numbers for a rough estimate on a half beef, and double them again for a whole beef. The hanging weight price is $4.75 per pound for a half beef, or $4.50 for a whole beef.)
The cows are harvested on the farm for a fee of $155.00 per animal ($38.75 per quarter cow) and transported to Valley Meat Services in Wallowa. Valley Meat charges $.99 per pound to cut and "wrap" (vacuum-seal) the meat.
