I was wondering what everyone is averaging in gross profit percentage in their markets. Please be honest no matter good or bad. I myself recently had a 21%, but management is insisting on a 30%. Just would like to know what everyone else is getting because i find a 30% is a little unreasonable with the co...

I am just wondering what you charge a customer for cutting and wrapping beef, pork, game? I am thinking about doing it on the side. The animal has to be skinned and gutted for me to do it in this facility. So, that being said. What price per pound. All custom cut and freezer wrapped. Thanks guys! Jeff
