Has anyone here bought meat from U of A's ag dept?

Got some questions.

Not me, but most of the high schools will butcher cows but the whole year is filled up in 10-15 minutes from the reservation opening.

I use Jason Holiday in Queen Creek for my cows and was referred to him by the USDA inspector who said he gets consistant A rating for cleanliness. Has done mine the last two years and everything in labeled and divided into quarters. He has a place in Buckeye as well.

Most butchers are aware if the farmers are willing to sell 1/4 or 1/2 a cow so you can buy in bulk.

I have had meat from a few different Ag schools(CSU Pomona and Texas A&M) and it is always gtg, so i dont see why UofA would be any different.

In fact, Texas A&M does dried and cure meats too and their jerky is some of the best i have ever had.  it is old school good!

My family has gotten it a bunch of times and Its gtg.  The price is resonable also.  The trick is to get there early, they only have a limited amount. So first come first serve.

Someone please post info about this, wanting to buy some beef!

Its at the UofA agricultural farm on Roger and Campbell.  Its on fridays in the afternoon from like noon to 5.  They put a hand painted sign out on the corner on the daya they are doing it.  Just drive onto the farm there are signs to the buildings and inside in a small amphitheater class room they have glass top freezers stocked with meat.  The students selling are very helpful and will explain the different cuts and everything.

I buy buffalo meat from them when I can make it down there
