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.

I do not know how you can think of buying anything like that, especially since you have no current employment.   ::)

  Your outta your mind paying over 1G for a slab of beef.  Find yourself some Mexican farmers (hope no one thinks I am being racist, me being Mexican myself.), those dudes will make you a good deal.  My dad gets cows for like 200 - 300$.  Sometimes people will give us up to 1/2 the beef if we keep them on our land and feed them (they buy the hay of course).

The good thing about having your cowhand farming 4000 acres of corn a year is that the cows are corn fed.  Mmmmm.

Same goes for shooting deer that live in corn and bean fields versus those that making a living on acorns and what not.

I figured since your last pro-management relations thread you would have gotten yourself fired by now.  ::)
