Freezer size hint
A spare shelf in a home refrigerator freezer may work for very small shares.
How this was figured: $6.50/lb hanging weight, about $8.67/lb finished at the seller-stated 75% yield, plus processing (amount not posted).
Note: processing extra, amount not posted, so this estimate may leave out costs.
Typical yield percentages are estimates, not guarantees. Processing fees vary by butcher. Confirm weights and totals with your seller.
