Joel Salatin cost is - not released, only projected - [Joel Salatin has never publicly released a full, audited per-bird production cost breakdown. What exists are partial disclosures, interviews, talks, prices, and extension budgets explicitly modeled on his system. From those, we can reconstruct a tight, defensible cost envelope, but not a ledger-accurate number.] [2]

Real labor cost (normalized)

About 3–5 minutes per bird total across lifecycle

At $15–$20/hr equivalent:

➡ $1.00 – $2.50 per bird
