In our freezer!! On Sunday we got our first side of beef. The farmer, Mark Nagel, delivered it right to our door. It was $2.75/pound. His farm is further south in MO roughly an hour and a 1/2 from here. We wanted to get a 100% grass fed cow. He said that all of his cows are able to graze and have grass the entire time. Due to the weather, we were able to get a cow that had been "finished" or supplemented with grain. The cow still had grass all the time, but then he has a mix of corn and hay that is available for them to eat. The majority of the diet is still grass.
In terms of scale, I found a "sale" on grass fed ground beef for $4.99/lb. It doesn't even claim to be locally raised. We have not only 20+ pounds of ground beef but we also have a variety of steaks, roast, bones & liver to use ??, cube steak, short ribs, and more cuts of beef that I didn't even really ever pay attention to. We are very excited to try out all the different cuts and try new recipes. I will keep you in the loop.....
cooler full of meat!! :-)
We had it wrapped in paper and it is very nicely labeled as to what cut it is. Yippie!!
Bag of ground beef -- I didn't count, but I know its over 20 lbs. :-D
