    True.... but it sure does not translate to 2x + the cost.. Organic cert then maybe. I am not sure why given how well beef is doing but I can get locally not organic but grass fed only for $1 lb hang weight + 0.95 lb processing finished weight. About $3/lb final. My last Angus from a friend at...
