Grass-fed beef anyone????

BretLuter · **Posted:** Wed Sep 28, 2011 8:11 pm

As some of you know, we live on a farm not far from Raleigh (some of which also double as a RallyCross site). We own the land and lease it to a guy who raises beef cattle as a sideline to his regular job.

Our cattle guy mentioned to me recently that he was thinking of selling 1/2 of a steer for beef. Price will have to be determined once we line up a buyer (or a group). There's a local processing facility that will do all the processing, and you will receive wrapped + labelled cuts of beef after they are done.

I'm just trying to help out by putting the word out to see if anyone might be interested in the entire 1/2, or if a group of folks want to get togther and split the 1/2. Just for the record, 1/2 of a steer is ALOT of beef, not all of it is filet mignon, there are alot of different cuts.

These are grass-fed, locally raised cattle, no hormones or other additives.

Post back up here or PM me if you're interested, or would like more details.

Thanks!

Bret.

I will split some: chuck, flank, oxtail, skirt, flat iron, brisket or ribeye. Basically everything but the lame filet and strip

yeah, interested as well. What could we expect poundage wise based on X amount of people? What cuts?

Not sure right now Rodney, I'll have to get an estimated weight of the steer, then figure out what the approximate "dressed" weight would be.

We did one of these a little more than a year ago, we kept 1/2 and sold 1/2 and we ended up with like 175 lbs of meat for our 1/2. As far as cuts, it's basically up to the processor how they cut it, then you would have to split those up amongst the other parties who want in on the 1/2.
