[Jacob-list] Butcher Weights

[Linda]

By "take home weight" do you mean what you actually got wrapped up to take home?  My cut and wrap fees are by carcass 
weight, which is determined by a skinned, beheaded, gutted carcass.  Not the same as what I take home.  I usually 
average $1/lb based on carcass weight, but it would be more based on take home weight.  In some places, you have a pay 
an extra fee to dispose of the heads.  Our butcher doesn't do that and does a very good job, so we're happy with his 
prices.
