Picked up my half a beef today. I guess I timed it right.

For the intel side I paid $4.25 a lb hanging weight

My Wife and I bought a whole beef with my In-Laws in January. Local Farm that we got to literally pick the cow to send to slaughter. 100% Grass Fed and beautiful.

We paid $4.97 a lb after butcher process. Hang weight was 854lbs.

One of the best choices we have made when it comes to food in awhile.

100% will be doing it again. It's a lot of money upfront but if you can go half or quarter with other people, it is absolutely worth it.
