My First Cave-mama Kill

Dividing up our kill

So this is what a whole cow looks like! We went in with 4 other families and bought a whole cow to share. Of course, we didn’t have to do the dirty work (how un-cavewoman like of me) but we are now reaping the benefits of having yummy, grass-fed beef. We got 1/4th of a cow and I am hoping it lasts us 10 months or more. We have bought 1/8th of a cow before and I stretched it out to lasting us 5 months. But, we got so much more this time around. We got it from a local farmer to Savannah out at Treutlan farms (https://www.treutlenfarms.com/).

For 1/4th of a cow we got: 64lbs of ground meat, 8 rib eye, 9 TBone(some look like they may have NY strip attached), 3 Liver, 7 Sirloin, 4 roasts, and 7 cube steak. The cost was $4.50lb (everything included) and delivered to my house to split. The cow weighed 750lbs on the rail! Big boy!

I am a firm believer in buying local and knowing where your meat comes from. I was at the grocery store the other day looking at the meat prices and ground chuck was ON SALE for $4.99lb. And that isn’t even grass-fed. That stuff is also sprayed with preservatives and loaded with antibiotics and other nastiness.

Buy local! And second best option, buy your meat from a meat market. They aren’t sprayed with preservatives.
