Fixerupper, we get up to $5/lb HHW on the rail at the mayor meat plants for prime young UTM bulls and a little less for heifers.
I don't relaly know what the average retaill price is for the various cuts cause i never buy any but the butcher(with a meat counter) i sold my culls to had ground bison priced at $12/lb and tenderloin for $ 27/lb last fall so it looks like he ain't losing on it cause i got only $3.50 on the rail for my cull breeding bulls and cows.
A good meaty 1000-1100 lb grain fed bison dressed out at 54-55 % and provide 400+ lb of edible meat(all bone out) tongue and organs not incl.(grass fed dresses out a little less,..less fat).
Enjoy yer bison burger,....do not overcook!
This old guy weighed in at just under 2600 lb live.(pic taken last spring)
Makes good hamburger and sausage but i would not want steaks from him.
Couple more pics.
