The central finding
Only 30 of 312 records publish a comparable bulk price.
The obstacle is usually not the price itself. It is the missing or mismatched weight basis behind it. Read why two per-pound beef prices can describe different units.
Bulk shares
What does a half beef cost?
Published farm-gate prices normalized to dollars per pound of hanging weight for a half share. Assumptions and confidence are shown on every verified record.

The table contains 29 farm-gate prices. The additional comparable record belongs to a reseller and is kept out of the farm price index. Prices are published all-in half-share rates per pound of hanging weight, not estimates of take-home packaged weight. Read the methodology.
Retail comparator
A reseller is not a farm-gate price.
Bringhurst Meats publishes a comparable hanging-weight figure, bringing the dataset total to 30. It resells other farms’ cattle, so its retail price is recorded and clearly labelled but never ranked with farms.
The wider record
No published price is information.
194 records remain directory listings rather than thin profile pages. They appear in the directory, on the map, and on state pages, but they do not receive indexed URLs.
Among the 118 verified records, many publish individual cuts or useful price context without supporting an honest hanging-weight comparison. We preserve that distinction instead of inventing precision.
