Food and Drink Side of Beef - Page 3

**mikeyis4dcats.** · 12-29-2016, 10:10 AM

School me on getting a side of beef. A buddy asked if we'd like to split a side of beef. Sounds like they're talking $1440+350 processing for a 1200# steer, net about 750#.

That a decent deal? How much freezer space should I expect to need?

Yeah he distributes everything. Even has vegetables at times. When in season. He also is the only place i can get my FANESTIL 8 to 1 Hot Links. If you can get these links they are a game changer at your BBQs

Really, I'll have to try to run some down and give them a shot.

emporia Ks is where they are processed. They come in a 10lb box consisting of 2/ 5lb bags. 40 links a bag. 8 links to a pound. They are stellar. They also have 4 to 1 and. 5 to 1 lengths.

Hmm, unless they decide to distribute to this area, I may have to take your word for it. The shipping would kill me.

The only way I'm paying those shipping rates is if this driver delivers it and stays awhile.

These guys covered the basics above, but I want to emphasize the importance of properly aging the carcass. It can have huge impacts on meat quality and your eating experience. If you have to pay extra to have them age it properly, by all means, pay extra!

Having to pay extra can be a sign of a butcher who doesn't take the process serious though. It might even be reason enough to find one who does for the next beef you buy.
