Can someone tell me is $2.85/lb for half a grass fed cow a good deal? It's the hanging weight and then there is $.45/lb processing fee.

Sorry, just about everyone on this board is a vegan! :runaway:

all hick related questions should go to phog.net tia

Doesn't seem unreasonable. Split a side with my brother-in-law recently and paid just over $3/lb total. Don't think it was grass-fed, but who knows.... I know that I am beef-fed now, so that's what matters.
I'd recommend getting as little of it made into hamburger as possible. Buy hamburger at the store. You'll save the most money (relative to store price) by getting as many roast, steaks, etc made.

Grain/corn fed is what my old roomie(feed lot guy) used to say is what to buy. No clue on price.

This. Grain / 'roid fed beef is >>>>>.

That is a little high. I used to sell locker beef for $1.50 lb + and customer would pay to butcher the processing fee. Though that is corn fed.
Seriously, grass fed? Do you live in California?!

No, but that Food, Inc movie turned me into a hippie. In reality I think grass fed tastes better but its expensive to buy in the stores. Looking at the half cow to cut the cost

This. Grass fed is far superior to grain/corn fed in every way.

Food inc was a good doc but it didn't make my taste buds change.

I wouldn't say it made my taste buds change, I have always preferred grass fed since I first ate it a few years ago. The movie I think just made me more willing to take the effort and extra cash needed to go for buying the cow.

Not so much a change in taste, but there are numerous health concerns that do shape what I put in my body these days. I've been trying to consume as little high fructose corn syrup as possible, (studies suggest it's a leading cause of belly weight gain and I already drink enough beer to handle that for me) but it's in freaking everything.

So, cows are naturally supposed to eat corn and grains? Seems pretty elementary to me that drastically altering an animals diet would have negative consequences..

Were humans predestine to live in houses, drive cars, and wear pants?
Looks like you have a few other changes you need to get to making along with your food.
Also, you may want to avoid medicine that is not in herb form as well as anything electronic.

The preconceived conclusion in this case being that an unnatural corn rich diet is known to cause unhealthy side effects in cows and subsequently the food that we eat. The only propaganda, to me, has been the effort to keep this knowledge from the general public.

Grass fed is the way to go.

JFC man, there's a difference between being Amish and wanting to eat meat from a cow that won't explode and die if its not slaughtered in time due to its corn-rich diet.
-
I was making a point. Pretty much anything can be spun to make it sound bad.
You cell phone may be giving you brain cancer, The paint/drywall/carpet in your house may harm your lungs due to VOC's, your old shoes are filling up landfills and contaminating ground water.
Look, I am not on either end of the spectrum when it comes to things like this, but the emphasis people put on things can be silly sometimes.
Enjoy your cow.
-
That's a pretty decent price. And from a progressive rancher it's good to see consumers who are educated about grass fed beef. :cool:
-
If your worried about health, buy a 1/2 of buffalo. It is the healthiest meat you can get. Cost me like 3.50 per pound for a quarter.

You do know how evolution works, don't you? A cow's digestive system has evolved over thousands of years to eat one thing, grass. You can't just suddenly decide that they should eat something entirely different and expect everything to go smoothly.
-
If you have any favorite cuts, make sure you tell the butcher you want those first. Get as many steaks as you can out of it. Like Jeffy said, don't get ground meat until the butchers gotten as many good cuts out of it as possible.

I think I would if someone were planning on eating me. For the sake of their health of course.
-
seems a little high. but if it's a premium product, properly fed and aged, you're paying for what you get. you can't beat great beef.
agree with the hamburger advice.

You do know that corn is a grass, right? Not a naturally occurring one, either. Completely genetically manipulated by man.

corn ensilage is a relatively decent food for cattle.

It's naturally occurring (or was) and has just been bred and genetically modified into what it is today.

Pretty sure like 40% of the corn crop is GM

I can't believe brought up evolution on this board and expected anybody to know what you are talking about... Condescending and pretentious!

So cattle can't eat cereal grains? Because that's the next generation of their respective grass :dunno:
-
Cows can eat all sorts of different things, but they are specically set up to eat grass. Just sayin' that dramatically changing an animal's diet tends to cause issues. Do a quick google search about zoo's issues with the feeding of their animals, all sorts of health issues associated with just minor modifications in diets.

:facepalm::jeffy: on the corn fed is bad.
-
I bet a cow fed exclusively fine cheeses would be delicious

anybody know how much it would be for half a Kobe Cow?

No such thing. Kobe is simply the area they are raised, they

are actually waigu.

Loved the part of this thread where anti-government folks loved the government handout supported corn fed beef. :lol:
