Dave,
You will be able to buy a side of beef for the price of good quality ground beef. Most farmers usually take the steer to the processor for you and once the carcass is dressed out they hang and weight it and then charge you market price by the hanging carcass weight. Then you pay processing cost on top of that. A few farmers like myself take our beef to a USDA processor and then are able to sell it by the cut weight or packaged weight. I sell my sides for $4.75 a pound for 200 pounds of meat. So my sides cost $950. You can find it cheaper by puchasing by the hanging weight, then paying processing and then going and picking the beef up, I have to charge more because I have a lot more cost after processing, trucking, and delivering the beef, plus a USDA processor is a lot farther away then the non-inspected plants.
