How dense are you? Every cut you're getting from a whole cow is the same price. So the T-bone that is normally 12 bucks a lb is the same price as the tenderloin you're fixated on.
In a half of a beef, there are approximately 12 roasts, 14 t-bone steaks, 5 sirloin steaks, 5 sirloin tip steaks, 14 rib-eye steaks, and 6 round steaks. There are also short ribs, flank steak, stew meat, brisket and approximately 75# of ground beef. You can choose to have any of the cuts made into ground beef. Working with your processor, you can customize your packaging for your convenience.
Because for the same 8 or 9 bucks a pound you also get shit like T-bone cuts. On average it is still significantly cheaper.
Huh? For $9/lb I get tenderloin from the local market.

See how that makes it cheaper on average yet?
People brag about paying $9/lb and getting ground beef and chuck roast from their half cow deal. And they get a tenderloin too, sure.
Or I can just buy the tenderloin for $9/lb and the ground meat for $4/lb from the market. I'm getting a cheaper deal from my local supermarket.
Holy shit, you're just purposefully ignoring what I'm saying aren't you?
You get more than ground beef and tenderloin from half a cow you moron. Have you ever bought half a cow?
God you're dumb.
