The Cash is in The Carcass

Once we decide that an animal is ready for slaughter, our marketing meter kicks in. Do we fully understand our carcass yields? What is the yield from carcass to cuts? Do we really know how profitable our marketing channels are? This could be where your profits lie.

Producers will learn:

• How to track your cost of production
• How to price your individual cuts
• Yields from carcass to wrapped cuts
• How to assess your marketing channels to understand which markets are your most profitable
