good deal? for meat

[Greyd]

So I might be buying 1/4 of a cow of meat (1/4 of 600-650lbs.) 1.50 a pound and I get to choose the cuts. Good deal?

 

[waggy]

well that depends. if its from the butcher yeah its a good deal. but i got half a cow for $1200 from a guy down the road who raises them for slaughter. to bad he died or i would do this year also

its straight from the people who raised the cow

Hell yeah. I can't believe they'd let you choose the cuts though.

 

[Greyd]

btw how do u determine what cuts you get,etc? How exactly is it divvied up?

who is paying for buthering? if you are not paying any of that then yeah its a good deal. long as you can pick cut s (though 1/4th a cow you should get pretty mcuh everything)

is the 150 lbs before proecessing?

if after its a damn good deal. even if before its still a good deal but you will end up with a little less meat.

is that bulk beef?

did you get it online?
