Start with your purchase
Which beef price should you compare?
- Steaks or ground beef for this week
- Compare the same individual cut on a packaged-pound basis. A steak package total needs an exact weight before it can be compared per pound. Check the seller's ordering and pickup instructions on its farm page.
- A smaller freezer order
- Compare boxes and mixed packs by total bill, stated weight, and contents. A ground-beef box and a steak-heavy sampler are different purchases even if their weights match. Subscription prices may recur and can include registration charges.
- A quarter, half, or whole animal
- Use the strict share comparison for your actual share size. Ask for expected hanging pounds, processing, flat fees, and pickup or delivery charges. See complete-bill examples before treating a deposit as the purchase price.

Strict comparison · 25 farms
Full cost on one weight basis
These farms publish a per-pound hanging- or carcass-weight rate for the stated share size or sizes, with processing included or an exact per-pound processing cost. We preserve each farm’s actual share sizes and never convert an offer into a half.
Regional context
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 Breed, finishing, aging, processing, and share size all move the number, and we do not publish per-state medians — the largest state sample is 7 records.
