Price quarter, half, and whole beef without having to build the math yourself.
This Google Sheets calculator is designed specifically for producers selling beef in bulk by hanging weight. Enter the information for one animal, including your animal cost basis, estimated yields, processing costs, and desired profit. The calculator then shows what you need to charge per hanging pound and estimates pricing for quarter, half, and whole beef.
You can also choose whether processing is built into your beef price or paid separately by the customer, so the calculator reflects the way you actually sell.
Use it to:
Estimate hanging weight and take-home pounds
Calculate your break-even hanging-weight price
Determine a suggested $/lb based on your desired profit
See estimated quarter, half, and whole-beef totals
Account for processing whether you pay it or the customer pays the processor directly
Plan how one animal will be divided between quarters, halves, and whole-beef sales
Compare projected beef revenue to your target
See when your planned sales are on target
The calculator is built around one animal at a time, making it easy to model different sales combinations such as four quarters, two halves, one whole, or a mix like one half and two quarters.
It also includes estimated take-home weights to help you give customers a better idea of how much packaged beef they may receive.
Note: This calculator is built in Google Sheets. You’ll need to be logged into a Google account to access and make your own copy.
