But a quarter is a thigh + leg, and they sell mixed thighs and legs at $1 more per pound, which would have the exact same bone ratio. They also sell thighs and legs separately at the same price, which is $1 more than the mixed bag.
The implication seems to be that making one extra cut (separating the thigh and the leg) costs $1 per pound, and that separating the thighs and legs costs an additional $1 per pound.
lower flesh to bone ratio in the weight
