Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Beef Prices...The new gold

I’d have a hard time not filling the freezer with those, even if the eye is tiny. That’s still a great price for a bone-in NY.

Eye on left is small but appears to be a genuine porterhouse on the right.

Not impressed. Decent T-bone eye, nowhere near Porterhouse.

They are not all porterhouses on a beef ya numpty.

Location, location, location....

can’t critique it when you only have 4.50lb in it

Let’s not get all ‘sierra vista’ about it.

May I have a 2 inch porterhouse from the chuck please.


Fine, thanks.

Nothin' wrong with beef stew.

Off da same damn cow....

There's been talking about putting in a locally owned large meat packing plant near Idaho Falls. I guess there's just a few big players that controll most of the nation's meat packing and the Chinese own a large share of it.

Some well off local people got together and decided we need a local packing plant to ensure they don't get worked over by the big players. Another industry that consolidated into a few big fascist players that have the literal power to get away with whatever they want.

I joked a few weeks back that we need a progressive tax on business where the big nation businesses pay substantially more tax than local mom and pop ones. That joke is starting to sound more and more like a good idea.

Mind Blown..............

Chili, anyone?

Or, pepper steak?

Ain't that the truth. Best part is, the farmer I buy from is young, so lots of years left! We're having to book our processing a year out, and that's with the local cutter hiring two guys to help cut and wrap. I little bit shocking to walk in and see the sheriff's deputy in a smock cutting steaks..... but I'm grateful.

Used to be, 90% of the "buy the beef from the ranch and cut it locally" crowd were doing it to pinch pennies. More and more, it's the "farm to table, and I'll pay what I have to crowd". I think that's good for the farmers and the meat cutters, as well as the consumers.

Not just meat is going up.

Everything will cost more so more griping will be forthcoming.

I am thinking on buying a few head to put on the Kline grass i have here.

Makes good beef.

Those are nice steaks.

Nice looking meat, fellas!


Wait....😳

The German dish, Rouladen.

I buy whole NY's, etc and cut and vacuum pack them myself. I haven't bought any since last year. Burger usually comes from friends who have a unlucky cow or bull that needs cut in hurry, I think I have another 6 months of ground beef left. I think I paid 3.50 a pound for the last pile from bull that had a abscess on it's jaw probably from a bad tooth. Bull makes good burger.

We people that raise the beef,we don’t make hardly anything on them,take one to sale they say prices are down,if I didn’t enjoy fooling with them I wouldn’t have them ,just raising them for someone else to make the money off them
