Price of beef.

(quoted from post at 17:49:59 09/05/14) [b:213548b52d] I guess it is time to fence off 20 acres and get a couple of pairs[/b:213548b52d]. A 3.77, not cleaned beef tenderloin, cost me 63 dollars yesterday. I did get 7 near 8oz steaks which is my limit nowadays.

(quoted from post at 18:58:32 09/05/14) Allen that fellow must be a big eater??? LOL $900 divided by 30 equals $30 per meal.

I can get a pretty good plate lunch special in town with a lemonade for $6.50.

So if I eat there everyday it would only be $195 per month.

(quoted from post at 12:45:51 09/06/14) Hasn't been all that long that somebody else on here who believed that was BS posted that he had his precious "grass fed" slaughtered. He totally threw his money and time down a rat hole. If you want to have the whole thing ground in to burger,fine and dandy,but the OP was complaining about the price of steak and roast. [b:b553210153]You'll get neither that are edible from grass fed[/b:b553210153].

(quoted from post at 13:45:10 09/06/14) We'll have to agree to dis-agree. I have plenty of satisfied _repeat_ customers for my 100% grass fed beef. That's also what's in my personal freezer. Instead of "money down a rat hole", grass beef is putting money in my bank account.

I've had enough conventionally grown steaks that were like boot leather and juicy ones that were tasteless and had to be drowned with seasoning to be edible.

I've also had plenty of my own grass steaks that were fork tender and all of them have good natural flavor.

It does cook a little bit differently than grain fed.

The health benefits of grass fed are real too. It's not all hippy feel good fad talk. The health benefits are for the cow too.

God made cattle with 4 stomachs so they could process cellulose into protein. I'm going to keep feeding them grass.

If grain works for you then that's fine with me. In the United States we can live and let live. I'll feed my family with what I think is best and healthy and you can do the same for yours.

(quoted from post at 15:35:11 09/06/14) Beef is high no matter which way you go about it. If you buy, raise your own, and pay for the butchering, it is still going to be expensive to put in the freezer. I have my own cattle and rarely butcher one. If you butcher one yourself, then you miss out on the high dollar money you would of got if you would of sold it. Think of it like that, and your not actually saving anything at all. [b:f6997c5ec1]Just ending up with your own meat. That is if you can trust the butcher on giving you back the right meat. Not any very honest butchers in my area. They all help themselves to some of your meat, or will switch you out meat keeping the better meat[/b:f6997c5ec1].

(quoted from post at 22:05:31 09/06/14) Ya, I have just about seen it all. From people getting shorted, to not getting the right meat back. Hamburger getting mixed together with everyone elses and then just getting so many pounds back. Is what irk's me the worst is not getting back the right steaks and roasts. Its kinda hard to know if they helped themselves to a couple T-bones, but its pretty obvious to know if they got replaced with some lower quality meat. A nice grain fed steer going in should be good meat coming back. Alot of times, I think it gets switched out to what they want you to have, and yours gets ate by them or sold over the counter. I hate to go off on this, I have just seen some pretty shadey things happen over the years. Like employees taking meat home from these places.
