BONIFAY, Fla. — How many retail pounds of beef will you get from a 1250 pound steer? What certifications does your slaughter facility need to enable you to sell products they process? Do you need to put a cow on feed before you grind her for hamburger? Is there more money in selling cuts vs. carcass (1/4, 1/2 or whole sides)? These are just a few of questions that come up when you start to think about producing beef for retail or wholesale.
