Where do y'all buy your whole or half cows? Grass-fed? Average price? Thanks!

Only place I have bought grass fed from.

grass fed will usually always yield a smaller side of beef compared to grain and hormone fed beef.

Grass fed beef is healthier, but not as good IMO.

unless you have a need for A LOT of soup bones, cuts of meat you won't use etc. you may be better off to purchase those cuts that you use at Sam's or Readfield's etc.

I'm willing to get creative. I bought a tongue yesterday! I have bought the ground beef at Readfield's but it's not as lean as I prefer. And I can't get USA gf beef at the big stores in town.

We prefer the gf beef in ground and also really enjoyed elk that a friend shared a few years ago in various cuts. My 3 year old will eat tons of the gf ground but hates other ground beef.

We grind up three deer per year for Ground Hamburger and we prefer it over beef.

Steak wise, would have been specific, as to what I thought was better.

Grain fed beef is just as healthy as grass fed beef. Just FYI.

Last Saturday, there were two grass-fed beef sellers at the Farmers Market in downtown Bryan. One of them (Wild Type Ranch) lets you place an order for whole, 1/2 or 1/4 beef, and has a subscription service, but they only come into Bryan once a month. See their website for order form and schedule. The other sells longhorn, and it is very good, and they have been there every week for the past couple of months, they have interesting cuts. I have liked the roasts from them better than the roasts from Wild Type - the Wild Type roasts are frozen in too large of sizes for my crockpot. As a side note, last week there was a man selling free range chicken and turkeys. The free range chicken was great, but it took me a while to figure out how to cook a chicken with so little fat.

Wild Type Ranch is also sold at Village Foods, in a stand-alone freeze. It is my standard ground beef - I stock up a couple times per year. It is delicious.

*Farmers Market tomorrow for gf longhorn, Village Foods anytime for gf ground beef.

I like the idea of eating Longhorn.

not to thread jack, anyone know where to buy hog meat? specifically pork shoulders aka boston or pork butt. I smoke 3 at a time in my smoker, but have been getting them at HEB.

I'd love to try a wild hog too (I'm guessing sow would be tastier).

Sows are best and typically 100lbs or less

Just trying to state fact. If that is your preference, by all means. Just want people to make the decision on factional info. No reason to pay more per pound on myth.
