My cousin’s husband raises Angus beef cattle, so for the second year, we purchased all of our beef for the year from him. We paid $363 and ended up with 104 pounds of beef. We were given the following cuts:
2 Porterhouse Steaks
4 Beef Round Tenderized
2 T-Bone Steaks
4 Sirloin Steaks
6 Chuck Roasts
2 Rolled Rib Roasts
4 Beef Sizzler Steaks
1 Beef Rump Roast
53 packages of ground beef (at 1.25 lbs. each)
It is true that we could get some of these cuts of meat cheaper per pound by shopping loss leaders, but I like the flavor of this beef, and I like knowing that my ground beef is comprised of the meat from one cow rather than many different ones as may occur when buying commercial beef. It is also nice to know that our freezer is filled and that I don’t have to buy beef for the entire year.
We ended up paying $3.49/lb. which is a fair price for ground beef and is certainly a great deal on some of the cuts of steak.

Wow! Nice purchase!! We have a freezer now so I'm hoping to do a big beef purchase this year, too :)

you did a great job. plus your beef is so much better being grass and grain feed. it pays in the long run.
We buy our beef direct from a farm too. We bought a little chest freezer so that we could buy in bulk. It's nice to know all that good meat is there without having to run out to the store.
That is great! We should do that too!
We buy almost all of our meat, both beef and pork, from our local farmers. It seems so much healthier to me and it's so nice not to have to worry about buying meat all of the time! I think you got a great deal!
