Actually there isn't much that goes to waste.  What isn't bought gets
donated to certain families.  For example, the head gets donated to the
same family all the time.  There is no charge for liver, heart or
kidneys.   Almost everything is used.  He doesn't sell at this price to
make money, He just knows between him and his wife they cant eat a whole
steer in one year.  So his friends and family reap the benefits as well.
He is not in it for the money.
