Good deal, or nah?

Most of those boxes are one good item with a bunch of "meh" for filler. If you got your money's worth, they wouldn't be profitable.

But apparently they make good gifts. I really enjoyed my "whiskey of the month" club.

Maybe a decent deal if you lived up in NYC or DC where beef is much more expensive at the grocery stores. I don't see it being a good deal in TX.

Get a friend, buy a feeder steer from a local rancher, have it processed. Split the meat, arm wrestle for the parts you both want.

Do not waste your money. I ordered from BB a couple times. One time the meat was almost completely thawed and leaking by the time it arrived. The quality is just not there compared to what you can get at HEB. It's insanely priced for crappy meat.

I actually am a cattle rancher myself. I am looking at different avenues of selling some beef; the whole/half steer thing being one of them. I was just curious if people are satisfied with Butcher Box, and if it would be worth it for me to try to steal some BB customers.

It would be tough to compete with BB prices without scaling up dramatically. And that's the rub.

Am I alone or do others think grass-fed just tastes odd? I've tried several different places around town selling them and I find the taste unpleasant.

My issue with BB was their shipping. They would ship on Wednesday (why not Monday or Tuesday). One time was July and the 4th was Wednesday so the order did not go out until Thursday with Saturday delivery. Another shipment was delayed for no apparent reason by FedEx, so once again Saturday delivery. I am not around on weekends and no one is available to get the package and take it inside. The second time is when I canceled.
