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.
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.
This is what I was getting at. This price is quite high and does not indicate much in the way of savings.
