Not excusing beef retail gouging...but that is 'prime' the highest grade. Costco doesn't even offer that up here in flyover country. Choice boneless rib eye up here about 15 bucks, select runs about 9 bucks.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Hang onto yer azz.................Team Biden, Piglosi & Schumer, assisted by The Muslim, are not even close to being done with us yet.
About the only thing that Biden has ever told the truth about is it's going to be a long dark winter, just not due to what he said would be the cause......................economy is in deep schitt, going over the edge.

that $90 steak turns into a turd the same as a $2 bowl of macaroni and cheese with fried kolbassi chunks. food, and eating out especially, are the biggest ripoffs next to insurance. fill the hole for 2 bucks and buy something tangible with the savings. took me a while to convince the wife that i don't really give a schit about food as long as it tastes good and is filling. meatloaf, besketti, mac & cheese, etc are fine with me.

Just today walked by the meat counter and saw Chairman Reserve T-Bones on sale for 7.99$/lb that are 1.5” thick and well trimmed.
Picked up 4, eating one tonight and froze the other 3.
Prime rib eyes were 19$/lb.

I would never think shooting one. Trees fall on fences, they will get out. It just happens. Besides, my cattleman neighbor let me run a overhead power line across his pasture when we built here.

Approximately $5 per pound across the board. Have a 400 pound half hanging right now. Should yield approximately 250 pounds finished cuts. Will have $1,250 +/- in it when it gets to my freezer. Vacuum packed. Patties. Organs.

The Multinational Corporations making the purchases are underwritten by massive global financial institutions, multinational banks. (*Note*, in China it is the communist government underwriting the purchase.) They own most of the major meat processing plants in America. Enough siad.

$30 a pound , that has to be California thing. Ribeye around here is half that. Graded Prime. It's high because only 3% of cattle hit the mark. And virtually nothing with Bos Indicus influence hits that mark. So that leaves a whole lot of southern cattle out. Thats a bad example, but yes box beef doesn't reflect what the cow/calf operator, back grounder, or feed lots are making. Packers are murdering everyone including the demand for quality beef(consumers) Don't worry, the government is looking into it.

It's white shrimp season here. Been getting medium / large caught nightly for $3 / lb head on. That works out to around $4 - $4.50 / lb pure meat. I don't have much room for beef!

I bought a couple of pretty nice tri-tips today at HEB for $6.50 a pound. A pretty fair price it seems.

I bought a boneless, choice, strip loin last week for 8 bucks a pound. Seven weeks ago it was $8.30. Could have gotten prime for 11 & change. American beef.
Ground beef from the States for a decent price is the hardest thing to find in these parts.

When you are out shopping for deals...
Only get the beef on black trays.......
White trays is mescan beef.
We into the local “cost + 10%” grocery store in spring.
Had ribeyes for like $6.99.
Decent looking steaks. Didn’t have product of USA on the sticker.
Asked the butcher man. This mescan beef? Yup.
Bigdaves shopping tip for the day.

Pricey only buy ground beef when on sale. Buy mostly Pork & Chicken. I usually eat deer instead of beef. Yep deer ground with bacon , at around 15-20 percent ratio for everything I would use beef for. Pork butts work well too. Around here they’re sometimes 0.99 a pound. Frequently at $1.29. Mix at 30% pig 70% venison. Yes they work real good , I use them too.

Graded Prime. It's high because only 3% of cattle hit the mark. And virtually nothing with Bos Indicus influence hits that mark. So that leaves a whole lot of southern cattle out.
That's old data. Since 2015, the average % of prime grade cattle has increased almost 2% per year, and is now above 10%. The herd, nationwide, is improving, but yes, that Brahma blood doesn't grade prime. That's ok, because at the same time, 45% of US beef is consumed as hamburger.......

I bought a steer some months ago.
Cost me $850.00. Grass fed, the switched to corn/grain for 3 months.
Went to the packer last Tuesday. Was whacked Wednesday.
$85.00 to whack him, and processing is 0.80 a hanging pound. He should weigh about 600- 700 pounds, hanging.
Counting liver, heart, and tongue, should get somewhere around 300 to 400 pounds back, ready for the freezer.
Looking like maaaaybe, $ 5.00 a pound, straight across the board.

Thanks for the grill mark comments. Fancy cast iron...
Fiesta plate, black Angus, two Rez dogs and an ancient poodle mix.
I would also like to thank Slumlord and Mesquite. Without their inspiration none of this would have been possible....lol

I’m thinking about gassing up the Fairmont station wagon and heading to the Lion I know the Ann Landers constituency won’t touch store-bough choice but I’m torn. I tried buying steaks on sale at Food City for years. They are crap, low grade, lacking good marbling. Taste and tenderness terrible. Never again.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Not sure why everyone has such a hard on for brisket. Chipotle commercial got everyone horned up....lol It'll be $100 briskets while you and I remain broke as fuuck. Boomer here. No one ever used to buy them in the Olden Day, when cars had real metal on them. Only brisket we ever ate was corned beef for St Paddy's day. And the Irish ate that because they lived in Irish ghettos and it was one of the cheapest toughest cuts at the butcher shop. Now, it's as popular as flank steak and tongue. Can't get it for a decent price anymore. OK, I'm going to watch some Murder She Wrote with the old lady now.

Where I am hunting right now, a rancher got 60 bales, where he got 5,000 last year.
Due to the drought, cattle are being shipped out of here.

CAB choice ribeye going 17.99 lb. Ridiculous. Same in sirloin strips was and has been much more reasonable though still inflated at about half that. Bit more. Makes no sense.

7 kids, I ate a lot of London Broil growing up. That’s some garbage. Still, there are some decent prices to be found in decent cuts around the petite sirloin, rump steaks and tips, Tri tip, etc.

Seems people will pay top dollar, as I see those Costco steaks flying out the doors.. It's difficult selling beef. We are not set up to sell retail cuts. We can sell quarters, but slaughter dates are hard to coordinate. Everyone has to be ready to take and pay for their beef when the butcher says come pick it up. It's a lot of messing around. What we have in our freezers now is labeled with our name and also says Not For Sale. It would be illegal to sell it. The beef we sell has the customers name on it. We are selling a quarter to a whole of a live animal. That's how we legally sell it. We sold some beef this year, and it turned out well. Didn't make much if any money.....but we basically get our beef for free. You can't just feed one at a time. It's difficult to get people to commit to taking beef in bulk. They don't want to get stuck with 400 pounds of garbage. It's difficult for people up here to come up with the money....even though it's a great savings. Also, not everyone has room for a half a beef.

I totally understand why people don't buy in bulk.
When we used to buy meat we would get a tough half once in a while.
It's miserable trying to finish a bad half or even a bad whole beef.
The one thing that the big packers have down pat is consistency. Their product is no where near as good as mine....but it's still pretty damn good. And it's good every time......and when ever you want it. By the piece!

Sales last a week in local stores here I’ll get little something every day. Mix up the lot numbers. I do get a tough pork shoulder 1/10 sometimes. You know it’s gonna be a bad one when the bone wont give after 10 hours. Chunk that one up and into the crock pot, dress it up for the inlaws 😃 They gnaw on anything and love it.

Yeah that would suck to get stuck with a bad hunk.. We don’t eat a ton of beef but when I buy steaks it’s always from Costco as they blow away anybody else quality wise. Like you said it’s the consistency and that means a lot

Jim, what’s up with “the tough ones”? All other things being relative in terms of grade and marbling? Is it a slaughtering thing? Why does that happen?

Hight prices are needed to make room for synthetic substitute meat which is cheaper to market then real meat. It will be marketed as healthy food that contributes less to carbon footprint making it more "new green deal" acceptable.

Jim, what’s up with “the tough ones”? All other things being relative in terms of grade and marbling? Is it a slaughtering thing? Why does that happen? It can be a combination of stress, age, slaughter techniques and aging, genetics and breeding. The older an animal the more likely that it will be tough. I forget the number, but over a certain age an animal can't be graded Prime. Quite often, an animal from a local producer will be a bit older. What an animal is fed and for how long its fed can contribute to toughness. Aging a carcass is terribly important to tenderness too. Some unscrupulous people won't age an animal properly. The big packers and feeders produce a lot of tough beef. It's just that you might only ever get one tough steak out of 20. Not like getting the whole animal. We feed for tenderness and flavor. We feed way longer than the big guys do, mainly to hedge for tenderness.

I quite enjoy a well executed smoked brisket. No doubt. It's sure enough good.....but I don't know if it's THAT good. To hear people gush over brisket, you would think the rest of the steer ain't worth cooking.

Serious question - I buy cases upon cases of ribeyes, whatever .for roasting primarily, but have done it all. 0x1’s, tenderloins, whatever. You name it. Specifically in the ribeyes, every once in a blue moon of choice end to ends, an anomalous “tough one”… WTF is that??? Looks same raw… is it a flaw from the slaughter? Tightening up from shock? Honest question

Sure, sometimes a primal or subprimal wasn't allowed to relax properly.
The aging does not happen at the big packing houses.
It happens at the wholesalers I believe? Sal would know.

I managed to get a quarter from my neighbor's this past spring. More than enough for the wife and I. Still have a good bunch in the freezer. Certainly wasn't "cheap", but I also know where the animal was raised and how it was raised. Butchered up the road in Oregon. The cuts we've eaten so far have been plenty good enough for our tastes. The meat looks OK to me. And for all I know this: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/4N4cHKcJ/T-bones-from-neighbors-steer.jpg) came from one of these critters on the other side of my fence, as he has the allotment back there. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/yYNJYMqx/The-neighbors-are-back-on-the-grazing-lease.jpg) Labels Jim? Sheesh, we don't read no stinkin' labels!

I know more about fish, and that some benefit more from relaxing on the bone/aging than others. Halibut would be a great example. [bleep] can be like rubber “too fresh” if it hasn’t been killed, bled, and processed ideally. Same with the cow?

Sure. How it's killed and processed makes a huge difference.
Hanging time is important, but most small processors won't go over 14 days.
They spend too much time trimming off the oxidized meat at 21 days.
If fed and killed properly, 14 days is plenty.

Doesn't matter what the price is, Here in wisconsin u can't buy Beef [or any meat for that matter] in a grocery store or butcher shop that u can eat! I don't know what they feed these animals but there ought to be a law against it! Have to buy a steer from a farmer [corn fed hereford for us] wait a year or more for butcher time slot. Watch them slaughter steer, mark both sides with tamper proof ID tags, chill for 2 weeks. Then watch them cut it up so the meat don't get switched or stolen!

Cows will drive you insane.
People think yeah, wish I was a cowboy.
Ahhhhh, no....
And for the record I'm not much of a cowboy and don't have a ranch.
I want to be a rancher. Not much for horses though. The Covina fugked up my side business of feeding a few beef. No cows last year, none this year. Hopefully get lined out this spring. If I win the lottery, I’m blowing it all on schitty pasture and some animals. Lol.

Oldest daughter and SIL both have full time jobs, but run 50-60 momma cows on the side. SIL had a bunch of co-workers bugging him to sell them beefs for the freezer last year during Covid. They set up and coordinated slaughter and butcher for 8-10 animals last year. As Jim and others noted, a lot of work to line up the killer, open dates with processor, ready and willing cash buyers. However, they made enough extra over the stock yards last year, that they sold about double the number to private slaughter this year.
Grandson is in one of the animal science programs at Morehead. Daughter and grandson are working on the SIL to feed 'em out a bit longer on grain to improve the finish. Neighbor is a butcher. He said the carcass they hung before mine should grade at least choice based on back fat and internal organ fat covering. FWIW, approximately $0.30-$0.40 of my $5.00 per pound is 21 day hang time in the cooler to allow tenderizing...

I know (here anyway) they're not allowed to leave spinal column / cord everyone's problem in processed meat after the age of 30 months and they determine the 30 months by bone or jawbone I think it actually is.

I fed some of our beef to a neighbor last year, explaining it came from my farm manager's herd to see if they would like it. I probably salted the mine a little, stir frying a fillet just absolutely perfectly --- I was pretty proud of that meal.
Anyway, the lady bonehead goes out and falls for the "grass fed beef" advertising and buys a half of what should have been a canner cow. Then she claims "we can't eat it". Well, yeah, it's not like industrial beef, lady, you actually have to know how to cook uttra lean meat. Yeah, it's stringy and tough if you cook it as if it has a lot of intermuscular fat. I grew up eating lean beef, so stewing, swiss steak, chile, etc comes pretty natural to me. Not to her.
Back to our neighbor, she'll never buy another half of beef again. Doesn't matter how many times I feed her a great t-bone, she's convinced the good meat comes from Albertson's. And she's poisoning the well by telling everyone that'll listen that ranch finished beef is awful.
That's what makes it hard to build a brand and sell beef off the farm. Sheisters screwing things up at every opportunity. .

What do you feed and for how long ? Free choice gound barley and for as long as it takes. We try to coordinate butcher dates with when the animal is finished....but sometimes you go longer than necessary. Sometimes nearly 10 months! .

Back to our neighbor, she'll never buy another half of beef again. Doesn't matter how many times I feed her a great t-bone, she's convinced the good meat comes from Albertson's. And she's poisoning the well by telling everyone that'll listen that ranch finished beef is awful.
That's what makes it hard to build a brand and sell beef off the farm. Sheisters screwing things up at every opportunity. . Yep.
I am MAGA.
