Tired of bad quality, at crazy inflated prices

on beef at grocery stores. So we went to our local butcher and ordered a side of cow. I think we'll be $$$ ahead and already know the quality is excellent.

I agree…. Our neighbor raises cattle and we have a quarter coming at the end of the month…. It is nice when you know where the meat comes from.
It is a good move Joe…. better meat you can have it cut up and packaged the way you want it….
Yep. Very, local,very fresh. He let's it hang 14 days before butchering. $4.99 lb. hanging weight.
Way home from the butcher, wife asked if I wanted to go by the farm and pick out the one we want, and tell them which side, left or right.
😁 Sure, why not !!!
That has always been the best strategy if you have room to store it. Our freezer might hold a sheep.
Store bought beef makes me sick. I raise my own. If you figure the cost of steaks, you will absolutely be money ahead a $4.99lb.
A pound of bacon done got smaller (12/14 ounces?), cost is at stupid prices (I think it was $8?). The whole country must have lost weight under biden.
There is nothing better than beef that has bin fattened up for butchering. I like fat in my beef, ( marbled) that is where the flavor comes from. As far which side is more tender right or left, I would imagine it depends on whether the cow is left or right hoofed. lol
I'm looking for a beef sheep.😉
What you want is a sheef or a beep!
Has anyone tried GoodRanchers or any of those online direct-type sellers?
Or a Rep or Dem waltermoe.
There will come a day when I won't be able to keep up with all the chores and will have to go back to buying beef. Here's a picture of this years crop. They'll go to butcher in late October of '25.
Two heifers and a steer. My great niece (4 years old) named them Smoke, Charcoal, and Backstrap.
The ones going to butcher this coming October are Tic, Tac, and Toe.
I'd get one of yours but heard shipping it just crazy. @NeoBlackdog
