Where's the beef?

Last Christmas my wife's parents bought us a crate of beef from an outfit in southern Idaho. It's almost gone and I want more. You who buy your beef by the cow, who do you use?

And is anyone else looking to go in on a cow right now?

I have a few contacts. I'll reach out to them. They may have people already committed? They usually like you to buy a calf in the spring, then butcher in the fall (or similar?)

Yeah, I wasn't sure about timing. I'm ok with waiting if we have to.

I can reach out to my boss. The only issue they are seeing right now is with processing. He is out to July for a date to process his fall steers.

That's what I hear, COVID throwing a wrench in things. Let me know.

There's a farm down the street from me in WJ. Seems like the location would be nice for you 🐄
My wife surprised me with some bacon from there but that's all we've used them for.

My dad used to use Theurer's up in Tremonton to process his beef. He got out of the cattle game about 10 years ago though...

Theurers is where my inlaws went. The steaks and roasts weren't exceptionally tender or flavorful, but at $2.99/lb for a half cow I'm tempted to drive up there anyway.

I think Palmer was my high school calculus teacher.

He used to drive a truck with a big boom in the back to help with on-site processing... :D

Thats a pretty good price.

First questions from an old meat industry guy, how old is it? and what are the percentages...? 73/27, 80/20, 85/15, 93/7? Bonus points if its angus. ;)
