Where's the beef?

[Kevin B.]

Last Christmas my wife's parents bought us a crate of beef from an outfit in southern Idaho. It's almost gone and I want more. You who buy your beef by the cow, who do you use?

And is anyone else looking to go in on a cow right now?

 

[I Lean]

I have no source, but might be in for a partial cow...

I have a few contacts. I'll reach out to them. They may have people already committed? They usually like you to buy a calf in the spring, then butcher in the fall (or similar?)

I can reach out to my boss. The only issue they are seeing right now is with processing. He is out to July for a date to process his fall steers.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about timing. I'm ok with waiting if we have to.

That's what I hear, COVID throwing a wrench in things. Let me know.

I can get the number of the guy my grandparents have used for years up near Tremonton. My dad still gets beef from them yearly.

There's a farm down the street from me in WJ. Seems like the location would be nice for you 🐄
My wife surprised me with some bacon from there but that's all we've used them for.

My dad used to use Theurer's up in Tremonton to process his beef. He got out of the cattle game about 10 years ago though...

My grandpa's go to was Palmer's Meat Packing. Did his cows when he still had some, still buy through them today.

Theurers is where my inlaws went. The steaks and roasts weren't exceptionally tender or flavorful, but at $2.99/lb for a half cow I'm tempted to drive up there anyway.

I think Palmer was my high school calculus teacher.

He used to drive a truck with a big boom in the back to help with on-site processing...

I talked to my boss today. He has everything sold for this year, even though processing is pretty much on a holding pattern.

shoot it in the head and cut the thing up. No need to wait. Just pull the kitchen table outside and go for it. (yes my Mom went crazy when this first happened at our house with deer)

I forgot to mention, if you break out your Porta band you can get the cuts/sizes you want. DYI

If anyone is interested, I just got this from a friend.

Thats a pretty good price.

First questions from an old meat industry guy, how old is it? and what are the percentages...? 73/27, 80/20, 85/15, 93/7? Bonus points if its angus.

No idea

I just picked up a 1/4 cow... I can ask to see if there’s more if you’d like me to.

You must be working out more lately.
How heavy was that?
