It’s that time of year
I’m like a kid at a candy store
A freezer full of delicious grass fed beef

Curious
What’s the cost of cow packages in your neck of the woods

It’s gone up 50 bucks this year to 850$ for a 1/4 cow

Going 1/4. These cows are huge. 1/4 gets me about 200 lbs of beef at avg all in cost of ~$6/lb. The beef is prime quality. I’m finishing up on last year’s now with a stew meat carne guisada. Ready for some fresh beef.

In about a month I'll have a freezer full of delicious corn-fed deer meat.

I do love home-grown beef too.

With all the fresh meat available in our State, I only buy as I need instead of putting meat in the freezer for months.

Where are you getting a cow from? Is there somewhere around here in south La I can place an order?

Serious question: does the quality of the meat diminish when frozen?

I like buying the live cow and just cut it off as I need it. Stays fresh that way.

Been getting a half of a whole cow every year for 4 years. Can't beat it.

How do y’all keep your 1/4 cow? Deep freeze?

How much beef do you actually get with that?

I've looked around and it seems I can't find anything for less than $9-$10 a pouhd of actual meat you get. And considering it seems like so much of it is ground meat, that's a high price.

I want to do this... what am I missing?

Why would you buy grass fed when you can buy grass fed for all but the last month or so and corn and grain finished for a month or so? 100% grass fed is liberal environmental propaganda. What exactly is the health benefit per pound of grass fed be grain finished. Or the environmental damage done by a month on grain? The taste is so much better grain finished so Iam curious as to what health benefits or environmental benefits yiu think grass fed gives you. Please advise.
