We’ve been doing something similar for a couple of years now, only we buy the rib-roasts from CostCo. I get a steak for dinner every Friday and sometimes Saturday. ;>)
I don’t know what it costs to do it this way, but my Bride says that we are saving lots of money. This gives us 15 steaks and as we each eat only half of a steak, we get 30 meals out of one purchase of around $70. We still buy other cuts from time to time.
We also take one deer a year from my property, my son takes one and my daughter take another... if I didn’t mind breaking the law, I could harvest as many as 3 per year without hurting the head count around here. It helps to have 18 apple trees.. LOL
We are now raising our own chickens (26 birds) for eggs and will be raising meat birds in the spring.
I may get 2 head of beef to raise, we did that in years past. I might also buy a couple of meat goats.
I fish for Chinook, King salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Sea Bass and other bottom fish. Family members keep us supplied with Dungeness crab and various types of clams....steamers and razors.
If the government thinks it’s going to change my meat eating habits, they are going to have to kill me.
Bambi jerky is delicious, so is bambisalami. Putting bambi through the grinder with 80/20 ground beef in equal proportions makes great grilled bambiburgers. Yeah, I hated that movie as much as I love venison.
