re: Just won a side of beef in a raffle. Processor is asking how I want it portioned. Update!

I agree with most of what you say butif he gets t bones he won’t get any fillets and that is what wife wants

Get all the fillets ribeyes and strip steaks you can to desired thickness, a few chuck roast , I would get a brisket but op said he does not have any way to cook So get the rest ground, I like 80/20 but you might want to go leaner

Maybe a few soup shanks
