My daughter and I just bought a half beef from our local farmer where we get our eggs. It worked out to be $3.01/lb. The ground beef is very lean. My part was 30 lbs of ground beef, 3 roasts, and the rest of the 70 lbs is steaks.
The cheapest lean ground beef here is 5 bucks a lb. Haven’t seen a roast on sale for less than 4 bucks. Steaks are double that, and not great quality either.
We were getting pretty tired of chicken and pork roasts too. I’m sure I was clucking and squealing while sleeping.LOL
Oh, that’s excellent! We’re still able to get a pretty good deal on bulk (5 pound) ground at the local butcher and it’s very good stuff but lately t-bones and rib eyes have been out of the question. Sure do miss eating dead cow.....
