Vian Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Full of grass fed and finished, antibiotic amd hormome free beef and lamb. I got a side of beef from Melissa at Skylines farm, amd a whole lamb from Eileen at Ramstead ranch. My deep freeze is FULL! Amd the meat is soooooo good! I made a pot roast with the beef, and roasted a leg of lamb for thanksgiving. Best meat I've ever tasted, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyB Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yay! Good for you. My favorite thing about having a freezer full of meat, is I go down to the basement in the morning, pop the lid and decide what's for dinner. Lots of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with where I live. Well, pastured pork is not available at all, unless you go hunting I guess. I pay astonishing amounts of money just for conventional beef here. (Also, when we got to add white potatoes in to Whole30, I gave a huge sigh of relief - the price difference per pound between white and sweet where I live is about two dollars.)

Vian Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I could never afford grassfed beef if I bought it by the cut. It's $6/lb for ground at the farmer's market during the summer, and even more at the co-op in the off season. It goes up in price from there, up to $20+ per pound for steaks. But to buy a side of beef direct from the farmer, it was $4.30/lb. hanging weight. My half was 270lbs, plus a $217 processing fee for the butcher. I paid about $1400 for my half cow, and because I asked for EVERYTHING, I probably got about 250lbs. of actual product (I got the heart, liver, oxtail, bones, tallow, all bone-in cuts of meat, etc.) so $1400 divided by 250lbs. is about $5.60/lb. Thats for everything from bones, ground beef and offal, all the way up to porterhouses, tenderloin and ribeyes. I used my tax return to buy all the meat. The lamb was $5.50/lb, and was 37lbs. hanging weight. It came out to about $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
