A lb of beasters go for about a $1000 here. I'm not exactly sure though, but it is around that price range, give or take.

Some beasters can be bad tasting, but some can be surprisingly not bad. It's usually above mid quality, but like I said, it can have a bad, chemically taste to it though.

That can easily be fixed in a few days by using the water cure method that will release most of those bad tasting toxins, and flush them out, resulting in a cleaner taste, sometimes no taste at all.
