I picked up a half a beef from my rancher here in Florida last Saturday, It took six weeks from when I ordered to when they called to say it was ready, they had sent it out to their butcher for processing. I paid $1280.00 wrapped and frozen. I am buying from The Dam Ranch @ about $5.45 a pound after processing weight.

Right after I got home I saw the following post here.

I'm assuming Joel is doing his business in Alaska, could be wrong.
Price seems kinda steady across the board.
