Yep that was my first thought when I visited their site. Here in SoCal where the cost of living is high, a Costco prime ribeye is $15-20/pound and a ribeye at the Halaal supermarket butcher is $6-10/pound depending on whether it’s a steak or roast. Prime top sirloin is $10/pound at Costco or (ungraded) $6/pound at the supermarket, compared to $18/pound at the Co-op.
Most people in Montana can’t afford to eat beef like that unless they get a quarter or half of a cow from a local farmer at a fraction of the price.
- Amezarak 2y agoI've always been interested in what exactly goes into the economics of steak pricing. A whole beef makes a lot of steaks, and obviously the processing cost is not relevant - it all costs the same, which I get my cows they turn into as much steak as possible, then ground beef.
