USDA’s prices are for full boxes, FOB the packing plant. A delivered price also covers freight and whoever handles the boxes in between, so a quote somewhat above USDA’s range can still be a fair one.
What it costs after trimming Your yield, your numbers
Enter the yield from your own cutting test: the share of the box’s weight you end up selling after trim, fat and bone.
The price starts at USDA’s latest weighted average; change it to what you actually pay. Cost per sellable pound is the price plus labor, divided by the yield.
