beef. thinking of buying a cow for beef.
daywane:
I have allways wanted to buy in BULK! Now I can. But now I find many options. We are a family of 3 at home. Also My oldest daughter pops in often with her 2 children.
so. I checked into buying a cow. A friend of mine raises them. Will not be ready till mid Dec. (needs to get a little older) we came up with the cost of $2.50 a pound. Estamated hanging weight is 400 to 600 lbs.
$1,000 to $1,500
this covers every thing I just pull up to butcher shop with pick up and bring home wrapped beef. or I have been looking at meat stores. check out this link. best bundles I have found so far, other markets keep tossing in beef livers and hot dogs.

I will have to buy another freezer with any options I go with.
I bought some meat from local stores yesterday. everything fit except the turkey. guess what is for dinner today.
Turkey today

I prefer JITD.
When I consider we eat meat 2-3 times a week, it would take 3 years to finish a cow.
The organic-meat shop is in the park, so we combine it with a nice walk and it is even open on sundays (very rare in holland).

My dad's cousin is a (mostly crop) farmer. He decided to get a few cows to raise for then eat. I ended up with a sixth of a cow. I don't recall now exactly how many pounds and the cost, but it was around $2/lb.
After getting beef directly from the farm and through the butcher, I can hardly even eat beef from a grociery store. The farm beef is so much better tasting and there is much less crap (colors, preservatives, chemicals, etc) in it.
I might just have to pull out a few steaks this weekend and throw them on the grill.

The Farmer and co\worker pays me in meat when I work on his PC.
YUMM
It took him and his wife 18 months to fenish off a cow. He is a big boy like me.
my presant freezer is a chest on. maybe 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide.
I am thinking this is my deer/turkey freezer
Wish to go and buy a upright for beef
only problem I see is sitting on cash till Dec. In Dec we have Property
TAX = $500
Xmas runs close to same = $500
lets go top LBS on beef = $1,500
I should talk to bank about a short term CD maybe.
daywane:
that did cross my mind. no kidding.
My oldest daughter is having a hard time with $$$$
I think it would tickel her pink to stock her up a bit.
My garden ... I hope to double its size this year.
My winter time has been spent buying up clearance stuff for canning.
If all works out . It would be nice to walk out of the store and not spend $175.00 to $300.00 a week
