Beef - just bought 200 pounds

[Adam Empire]

I just bought a quarter of a cow - 200 pounds of organic beef (grass fed).  $2.75/pound - what a deal!  Because the beef is all natural and grass fed, it is naturally lean (the burger is like 93-95% lean).  It is nice not having to pay 9 bucks a pound for a Ribeye or New York Strip steak. 

Has anybody else done this?  What did you pay a pound?

(By the way, the packaging is guaranteed for a year - so it won't go to waste.  I checked that out first)

What out for mad cow disease.  It pays to have a good connection with a butcher in the bbdg business.

That's the greatest gift a man get get for himself! I wish I could buy meat from an entire cow where I'm from. Who the hell sold you that quanitity of cow for that price? And where the hell are you storing the meat?! How long will 200 pounds of meat last?!

[Figo]

Chest freezer?

This is the second time I have done this.  Organic beef is the way to go, especially for that price.  I bought a separate stand up freezer about a year ago and it all fits in there fine, though there is not much room to spare at this point.  This amount will last about 6-8 months depending on the diet...

Additionally, when you buy like this, all the meat is packaged into the sizes you want, roasts are the weight you request, I had some 4 oz and some 5 oz patties made from the burger, the steaks are all packaged 2/pack per my request.  They even gave me the bones for my dogs! And get this, the meat was delivered to my door for free as well - and the farm is over two hours away.  It doesn't get much better than this.

I live in WI - so if anybody here or in a nearby state wants the contact info - let me know.

$0.00.....My inlaws are ranchers in South TX and I get a (60-80lb) shipment of ground beef, steaks, and roast twice a year. 

Your price is decent though, and grocery store meat is like night and day compared to lean, grain-fed beef...you'll never go back.

What a great description for this type of meat. So are cows that have been injected with drugs called "inorganic"?

I bet 250Ben250 could find out.

Grass fed beef tastes nasty. Let's keep feeding the cows corn so they get nice and fat and yummy! Besides, nine out of ten cows prefer the taste of corn.
