My wife and are buying bulk beef next month. It's an organically raised cow. Kill weight is 900lbs, hanging weight is 600. 1/3 of that is lost during the butchering process. Price is 3 bucks a pound hanging weight. The butcher also charges something like 30 cents a pound for his part. Works out to about 7 bucks a pound by the time the beef has aged and it's all said and done. We're splitting it with 2 other neighbors so we'll have about 150 lbs each, give or take.

Most of it is roasts. Chuck roasts, shoulder roasts, round roasts, bottom roasts. We'll also each get 1 or 2 Porterhouse cuts, 6 or 7 T-bones, 7 rib eyes, 8 lbs or so of short ribs a bunch of cube steaks and a bit of brisket too along with various other cuts.

The problem with buying bulk is that it's all the same cow. If one cut sucks they all do. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it's good beef, though the guy has been selling cows for this purpose 21 years.

Did any of this transaction occur via online means? IF NOT THEN YOU, SIR, HAVE NO PLACE IN THIS THREAD! I BID YOU GOOD DAY!
iow, where's the beef? 😛

Nope, this did not occur online at all. Most cattle ranchers are good ol' boys and wouldn't know what to do with a computer.

The reason for posting it was to provide a reference point for buying bulk online vs. straight from a rancher. Most of what you can buy online in bulk is coming through wholesalers who purchase the cattle from various ranches, process the beef, and keep it in large freezers until shipment. Quality will vary since they are using various ranch stocks. One of the few exceptions to that rule is Big Sky Ranch.

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://www.naturalbeefatbi......cts-ordering.shtml"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://www.naturalbeefatbigsk...roducts-ordering.shtml"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://www.naturalbeefatbigsky.com/products-ordering.shtml">https://www.naturalbe............ring.shtml</a></a></a>

Whole, half, and quarter bulk beef packages can be ordered as well as special package configurations that they have.

If someone wants a larger quantity of a specific cut than what a grocery store normally sells then their best bet it to go to their store or butcher shop of choice, make friends with the butcher, and arrange a special order of that cut. If people want to order from a place like Big Sky then you should probably try one of their affordable packages first to make sure that the quality of the beef meets your expectations before dropping a bundle on a 1/4 or larger bulk beef purchase.

Is that post more to your satisfaction, SIR?

OH MY GOD, IT'S THE FUCKING MOTHERLOAD!! :thumbsup:

MISSION COMPLETE!

OMG, an answer....

My life feels empty now.

It's not an answer until it's confirmed and official. Who will step up to the plate with an order to find out if the site is legit? Who will rescue us from this thread?
 
How long would it take to read from beginning to end? I may find out and post this weekend. Of course, beer will be involved, so reading comprehension will fail as time increases. This could be good or bad.

I wouldn't steer (hehe) you wrong. I ordered a couple of the smaller packages from them in the past. It's legit and tasty stuff too.

The only reason I'm going local for bulk beef now is because the cattle are raised organically and holistically. They get no antibiotics or any of that crap.

Okay genius, you ordered SMALLER packages from them!! My God, we still cannot get it through your thick hides that bulk beef is a lot harder to find than you think!

Hollister cows? What the hell are you people smoking? Now you are going to let them wear those cute little tight shirts that all the cute little tight girls wear?

Bulk, for those of you who have actually READ THROUGH this entire mess, is more than 10 lbs. Not these smaller packages you speak of.

Peace

Hey guys I wanted to let you all know that I bought some bulk beef and I am going to be having a cookout. I will be making burgers for all, great times to be had!
































$10 per head.
 
Well, that was that. TastesLikeChicken for elite, and DivideBYZero for ban since he didn't find it first. 😛

So what are we tackling next?

WTF? What's the deal with the rudeness? I'm trying to help people out here and you take big squat on me for no reason.

Allow me to clue you in on a few things you appear to be ignorant about:

1) I've already provided a link to a website that sells bulk beef, so while it's hard to find it IS available.

2) Go look up the word holistic. It doesn't describe a type of cow.

3) Some people wanted to know if the website I posted for buying bulk beef was reliable. We already KNOW they sell bulk beef as it's actually listed on the website. I specified that I had ordered a couple of their smaller packages and the beef was good, so they are not a scam. They provide good service and a good product.

Before suggesting people read, maybe you should do so yourself next time around? Because you completely missed what was clear to many others already.

No, sorry, I haven't encountered any of your posts before so I didn't recognize your brand of sarcasm. Not a problem then as I have no beef with you. 😀

Wouldn't that be like all of them together to count as bulk? Besides, we are talking Bulk Beef Online. TastesLikeChicken wins I think.

Me think Beer will greatly improve your enjoyment. I would suggest you go pee first before you start reading. Don't want you to pee on yourself.
