The local butcher can provide a cut and wrapped side of beef for $ 2.49 a lb. It is local grown beef. Is this about right? 175 - 200 lb sides?
Thanks

Good grief, buddy...you are getting good deals down there in Louisiana! I haven't seen grocery prices like that in near two years or more. I snatched up a pair of birds on a point-sale at .79 cents a pound and they were scrawny Tyson fryers too small to send to KFC. They normally run $1.29, but I will admit they are better plumper looking fryers.WOW!!!
I can't believe some of the prices being quoted. Today 80 / 20 GB $1.99 lb. Ground chuck 80 / 20 $2.49 lb slect boneless rib roast $4.99 lb
Cryo vac 2 butt packs $ 1.29 lb. whole fryers .69 lb. . No rib sales this week.
To me, it's the fact we can get Black Angus from a local farmer, rather than some meat from a regional packing plant.
My beef hung in the cooler for 10 days before it was cut and packaged, at a local butcher.
The stuff from IBP goes in on Monday and out on Wednesday. There's no time to age whatsoever!
