Well, the 1/10th I'm getting averages out to about $7 a pound. Not cheap, but I'm willing to pay it for the improved nutrition and taste. I noticed that the 1/4 steer is MORE expensive.
I actually have backyard chickens--6 hens in my dog run. They give us about 2 dozen eggs a week. They are free range until I get sick of them tearing up the grass and chase them back to the dog run with the hockey stick. The taste and quality of the eggs are totally worth the nuisance that are chickens.
I'm in the food business, so the quality of the food is important to me. : )
