Well it depends on a lot of things. If buying direct from me at $3.23 a pound live weight which be $1 higher then now it would cost about $10 a pound for 650 lbs. now get more middlemen and their margins add to the $10. So it’s more when do the stores wanna price it off there shelf’s then the actual cost of a live hoof. So many more costs to the consumers then the live beef price.
