I have cows across the street from me… I watch them grow up, I watch them go in my belly. IIRC Alabama Meat Market on 77 in (Sometimes called IGA) will do all the butchering/packaging for you if you don’t want to do it yourself. ---

I know what they are doing, I grew up on a farm. I still say the whole organic thing is all a scam from ppl to make money. People see the word organic and will pay more money due to it being claimed organic. ---

He has a 14 cu.ft. chest freezer and a stand up freezer but i’m not sure how big that is. I wanna say the meat will last 12-13 months since its vacuum packed. He has 5 kids so I imagine it will last them 9 months based on the half a cow he got last year. ---

> [@Jon](#): > > Grass fed for the taste…yes. Health benefits…negligible. Its still red meat,lol. 100% incorrect. Grass fed beef is one of the healthiest foods a human can eat for a variety of reasons. Red meat is good for you. Grain fed meat (what you get in the grocery store) is bad for you (high omega-6 content drives systemic inflammation which lays the foundation of almost all western diseases) and grain fed feed lot antibiotic treated meat is just awful. As for taste, well, it tastes a bit game-y sometimes which a lot of people like but most people are used to really bland corn fed beef so YMMV. Ordering a half or whole cow from a local grass fed organic type farm is extremely common. Here are a couple of places: > **[EatWild - New York](https://www.eatwild.com/products/newyork.html)** > > Eat Wild - Getting Wild Nutrition from Modern Food. (My in-laws eat nothing but grass fed/pastured meat and I think they get most of it from Freeman Homestead in Stockton near Fredonia. They’re listed in eat wild.) I’ve been to this farm and bought meat from them. Good shit. > **[Our Farm](http://www.beamboys.com/)** > > BeamBoys Cattle Co. & Custom Farming, Specializing in Natural Black Angus Beef ---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ---------- Oh, and +1 to Organic not really meaning much other than the producer could afford to buy the certification. ---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ---------- I’m pretty sure both Beam’n Farms and Freeman will deliver. Beam’n has delivered to my in-law’s house. Freeman I think has a drop off/pick up point in West Seneca they will meet people at. ---

For those that do not want to commit to 800 lbs of meat we found a farm that offers 50lb packages of beef & chicken [http://www.platodalefarm.org](http://www.platodalefarm.org) They delivered right to our door in North Buffalo. It barely made a dent in my 7.0 cft freezer I bought for storing the meat. Everything came butchered & individually wrapped. ---

That place looks legit. $6/pound for a 50 pound box isn’t too shabby either. Bear in mind that there are three weights: -Live weight -Hanging weight aka skinned and gutted but not cut up into pieces, this is the weight you pay for when you buy a fraction of or a whole steer -Butchered weight aka the box of meat you get, usually around 1/3 less than the hanging weight So if you buy a 150 pound (hanging weight) quarter of a steer at $3.50/lb it’ll cost you $525 and you’ll get about 100 pounds of meat on your doorstep. So your $3.50/lb works out to $5.25/lb in normal grocery store terms. ---
