Oh I'm looking for grass fed

then i dont think you are gonna find anyone selling that at 2-3 dollars a lb. ive looked. that is unless you can get the cow from your hook up and just find a butcher who will slice it up how you want it.

I get it for $4.99/lb, from the farmer. Grass fed, all natural. That price gets me an assortment of cuts. We usually buy a half at a time. It fills up our small freezer and lasts us months. We do get some say in proportions.. we like hamburger better than ribs or cube steak so we opt for more hamburger less ribs.

Steaks are a bit tougher than cornfed confined feed lot animals but have better flavor IMO. think fit person vs couch potato (grass fed vs confined ill fed feed lot animal).

Plus the grass fed meat is higher in omega 3 fatty acids, lower fat, and lower cholesterol.

Only whiny city frickers don't like the grass fed and complain when fed a real steak. They must have weak jaw muscles because chewing seems to upset their sensibilities.

I pity them.
