I don't know.
I grew up on a farm and I do know (bare in mind this is 20+ years ago) a whole slaughtered and butchered animal would cost less than half overall.
How much have times changed?
I do remember it was the best meat I've ever had.

Yeah like I'm looking at it and it seems the per-kg cost of a side is about what the stew-meat goes for in the shop or maybe even less, and you get all those nice steaks on top of it.
I just don't know what the fuck I'd do with kilos of mince; mince is shitty.

Well we gave a lot away, but like I said 20 years ago in rural New Zealand, 5KG of mince would be an amazing gift.
If you have spare time, make pies and even try a gourmet angle? After all, you do have the best produce available.

thanks for the awesome infographic, op

I have these memories growing up aswell, kill one cow and my grandfather would palm off meat to me for months

Fuck now I really want a side of beef. But I don't really have the freezer space..

OP, Once you know for sure what you;d be paying per pound of hanging weight, and the price of cutting and wrapping, then you'd know the price comparison.
I'd pay the extra money for vacuum wrap- it makes defrosting a lot easier and you can keep the meat much longer.
I really like mince, so I'd get most of the round ground up. Round isn;t easy to cook, in my opinion. The slaughterhouse should give you options for how to cut things.

We're looking at about $8(AUD)/kg which by my math is $2.6(USD)/lb hanging weight.

Pretty sure this is cut packed and delivered price, also.
