Front or back half?

Front or back half?

And is it by the hour?

There's that place out by the airport. Heifers, I think it's called.

Haha

It's a scam. Don't buy one. If you cut a cow in half, it will die.

It's cheaper to find someone to go in halves with you on a full cow.

Great link. Muenster is a cool little town. I've played golf at Turtle Hill there for many years.

Have also thought about doing this but never knew what it would cost... nice that they spell that all out.

Cool link and very informative. It’s pretty cheap and expensive at the same time as u have to come up with a lump sum of cash immediately. Also did not really see if any of the beef would be rated as Prime or Choice. I figured that the 18 month beef would have been the most desirable, but it seems that the 30 month gets that title.

Just make sure to don't buy a bull if you plan on milking it.

Hey, to each his own.

Went with this place:

Super impressed with the marbling. Ended up with about 240ish lbs of meat, about half ground beef.

So net net you got quality with Wagyu but what about price? How much total outlay and did u save vs not buying in heavy bulk?

I didn’t save any money. I got 120lbs of ground beef, 60lbs of steaks and 60lbs of stew meats, brisket, ribs. It was just under $11/lb of edible beef.

It was slightly more than I could buy at Costco.

Pros: One cow of a known origin with no feed lot
Cons: Lots of ground beef and misc cuts I normally don’t buy.

Taco nights, and maybe get one of those smash burger presses

Ground is pretty versatile
