Awesome! We are getting ours next month I can’t wait to have all that in my freezer! We just have to figure out how we want it which is very intimidating LOL
So true! They asked rapid fire questions at us. We told them we wanted some roasts but would rather have more hamburger. It seems so expensive upfront until you think about how expensive Beef is right now and then it is a no question a money saver. Thank you for watching Ann!
Hello Charmayne! Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching! I agree, the cost seems so high until you realize how much beef is there and what it would cost at the market!!
We ordered a quarter cow in early March. Two weeks ago the farmer told me that he was taking it to the processor. I went to the processor a few days later and filled out my cut sheet. He told me that the meat should be ready in a little over two weeks. So, I am expecting a call or text this week for us to come pick it up. It is our first time ordering like this so I am a little nervous about how the meat will taste in comparison to what we buy in the store. We decided to get grass fed, grain finished so it would taste a little more like what we buy in the store. God definitely blesses us everyday. He provided enough work for my husband (he is self-employed) that we could do this. It wasn't easy coming up with this much money all at once, but thankfully, I had a fairly stocked pantry so I could afford to cut our grocery bill back while saving for this. I can't wait to fill our freezer. The next time, we are hoping to be able to get half a cow. We also are hoping to be able to save for a whole hog. With inflation like it is and gas as high as it is, it is becoming harder to save though.
Hello! So excited to hear that you decided to get a quarter of a cow. You will love the meat. It is more tender and better marbling than the beef we would see in the store. The hamburger doesn’t shrivel up and you are left with a pan of grease either. I have not regretted our decision at all. I was worried about putting so much money up front as well but would do it again in a heartbeat. While my grocery bill is still high because the prices keep going so high….gggrrrr! I couldn’t imagine how much I would be spending if I was still buying beef! Let me know how things go once you get your beef. I really appreciate you stopping by and watching! Hope to see you again soon!
Blessings! I get a whole steer butchered every year. When the farmer sends the cow to the butcher the meat needs to hang for two weeks to age for flavor. When we process, I order hamburger, Chuck roasts, boneless steaks like filet mignon, Ny Strip, Delmonico and minute steak(like steak I’m), fajita meat, soup bones, canning meat (60lbs), sirloin steak for stir fry. I’m so glad I don’t have buy grocery store meat because homegrown tastes way better! Praise God he provides! Have a great Valentine’s Day with your husband!
I need to get me a neon sign!! I could sell it cheaper than the grocery and still make money 😂. Meat is so expensive right now!! Thank you so much for stopping by and watching. I really appreciate it!
Hello Paula!! I feel so much better with the freezer full. No matter what craziness happens; I know I can feed my family! Appreciate you watching friend!
Melinda this was such an amazing video I love that you are sharing about God. Thanks for that! So glad He is providing for your family. HE IS such a gracious and loving God
Oh my god that’s so funny, we just did the same thing. We had our order in for over three months before we could get ours. My wife actually split it with her sister, so we got a quarter, this is all we could get due to the demand. We ended up getting mostly hamburger, steaks, some roasts, and her sister got everything else. Another awesome video, and especially your last video with going out to eat has made a big impact on us.
Splitting a cow is the way to go right now with the cost of Beef going so high and it is better quality! Good luck on your decreasing eating out! It is so hard because eating out is socializing and it is so much easier than cooking and cleaning up! But, sending major good vibes your way!
