I'm in for a half for the fourth year. Bennie has some good beef, a lovely wife and very cute children. Did I mention he sells some good beef?
The processor does a great job. I've always received just what I ordered and they will cut the critter up the way you want. Vacuum packed in heavy plastic, but you can't toss packages around too roughly.

$1300 plus the $24 kill fee for an average steer? I can't tell what the approx price would be for half.

I could be off, but I calculated at 1300 lbs x $1.66 per hoof lb + $24 kill fee comes out to $2182.
60% of 1300 is 780lbs
$2182 / 780 factors out to be $2.80 per lb of meat. I could be a little bit off but sounds like a good deal to me.

1300 is the average. I've had critters from 1300 to 950, and it does make a difference in pounds of meat and freezer space.
Hell, ground 90% chuck will cost twice that. Yes it's a good deal and you know how the critter is raised. All my family tells me this beef tastes better than anything ever purchased in a store. The only problem I have is not knowing the size my beef will be. I tend to hold off shooting deer as I don't know the amount of beef I have to stuff in the freezer.
Now your final cuts may end up with something you don't like. I have my burger 10/90. Very lean. I end up with short ribs that are loaded with fat. What to do? I trim the short rigs and can beef chucks! Problem solved. I can a lot of veggies anyway, and my father-in-law canned beef and it was good. So I snooped around in the Ball canning book and there it was. Now I have canned beef. Very tender, just serve over noodles. Now you cook for 60 minutes and precess in the pressure canner for 90 minutes so it should be tender. Nothing goes to waste in my house. I find a way.
I've got to post more, I've been a 6 point for a record amount of time.

H and R is limited on freezer space and will only let hang for 14-16 days.
Carlos I sent you a pm. A half would cost approximately $1,000 after paying me and the processor.

no website for H and R
But they can cut the beef anyway you want it....
Ground beef 1 lb packages up to as many lbs per pack as you want.
They will cut your filets, ribeyes, ny strip, sirloin, tbones to whatever desired thickness you like.
Roasts can be as big or as small as you like.
phone number for H and R Slaughtering is 931 484 1154 if you want more information and feel free to ask them about what kind of beef I take to them for processing
