$6.00 full cost / lb hanging weight · quarter, half share sizes

Across the 25 Northeast farms that publish a comparable price, the median full cost is $7.35 per hanging pound; the published figures run from $5.25 to $9.50. That is one figure for 6 states, not a benchmark any single farm should be measured against. Breed, finishing, aging, processing, and share size all move the number, and we do not publish per-state medians — the largest state sample is 7 records.
