$970 / 126 lbs of packaged meat = $7.69 / lb of packaged meat on average.
HANGING WEIGHT EXPLAINED?
Hanging weight is the weight of the animal after it has been field dressed but before it has been aged, cut, packaged and frozen.
WHY DO WE USE THE HANGING MEASUREMENT?
We use this weight measurement because we are not selling individual retail cuts but instead are selling by the half or whole animal. Each piece doesn't need to be weighed which is reflected in the lower cost compared to individual retail cuts.
