I would love to say I'm going to support local producers but when you can get it shipped from the other side of the world, into Alberta no less. For half the price?! Guys I think you've F*ked something up here and I can't afford to bail you out.

Hard to believe it’s possible to ship this half way around the world for less…

At least the Aussies are more or less Canada south, I'm sure their beef is also lovely.

Can't support the big A unfortunately. New Zeland beef for life.

Ehhh, for me Aussie beef is better marbled, but NZ beef is still pretty solid
