My wife and I along with our 3 adult kids and their families are eating our way through 1000+ pounds of grass fed beef that we had butchered and vacuum sealed for a little over $1000. Not as good as grain fed heavy beef but pretty good. One of the animals was a 10 year old barren mean ass cow that was slick fat, the other a 600 pound steer that was on feed and grass. On the huge cow steaks I soak them a while in a mixture of tenderizer and baking soda in water for about 30 minutes and grill 'em over a wood fire. Considering the $$$ savings and that our daughter is not reduced to making do with ground turkey we can put up with what tastes a whole lot like the bison meat I've eaten. Not going to pay $10 to $15 a pound for something only marginally better.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
