A guy I work with raises cows and sells a few occasionally, he even delivers them to weavers for you.
He doesn’t give the cows anything other than grass and finishes them on grain, the meat is extremely good. He typically sells in the fall just before weavers switches over to deer only.
I last bought from him…. Early 2021. It was half of an average size steer and came to just over $4/lb, but I had lots of jerky made and that added about 10% to the cost. With a lot of jerky and ground beef it barely fit in a 7 cu-ft chest freezer after I threw a few bulkier steaks in the house freezer.
If anybody is interested I’ll ask if he has any to sell and when they would be ready. No idea what the cost will be these days, but certainly over $4/lb since the world has gone crazy.
