Only About Half the Steer is Beef Live Weight 1200 pounds 100% Dreased Weight 672 pounds of Beef 56% When Swift &Company buys a steer weighing 1200 pounds, only about 672 pounds goes tomarket as beef; the other 528 pounds consists of hide, fats, other by - products, and waste. When the packer pays 15 cents a pound for a steer, he sells the meat to the retailer for about 24 cents. But the packer gets only about 6 cents a pound for the other 528 pounds. This means that the packer gets about 16 cents a pound for all the products from a steer for which he pays 15 cents. You have doubtless The difference of 1 cent per pound covers the cost of dressing, preparation of by - products, freight on beef to all parts of the United States, operation of distrib- uting houses, and leaves a net profit of only % of a cent per pound on all dressed beef sold. Large volume of business and utilization of parts that were for- merly wasted, make this achieve- ment possible. Year Book of interesting and instructive facts sent on request.
