Got our beef today

[Lt.Dan]

I couldn't find the original post from earlier this year. But Collins Farms offered members a great price on freezer beef. @MUP endorsed the meat. Well I picked up my half yesterday and had a ribeye last night. All I can say is DELICIOUS. Sorry no pics of the steaks but they were 1.25" thick, grilled to perfection (medium rare) and super tender!

A pic of our beef. I had to buy a second freezer. This is a 13cu.ft. freezer dedicated to just half a steer.

@NBF7240 Benny and his wife are top tier! Hands down the best beef I've ever eaten!

 

[waterman]

I'll second that!!!!

 

[TNTreeman]

Third that. Wait till you try the brisket

 

[TnKen]

I've been buying their beef for several years, and it has ruined me for restaurant steak.

I'd recommend getting a freezer alarm, better safe than sorry.

Looks like y'all are all set for awhile.

 

[Creek bottoms]

Good, no doubt.

The new freezer has a built-in alarm. But unfortunately it's out in the shed so I won't immediately hear it.

The price of 1/2 a steer has to be very expensive these days but you know that you have some good beef.

Friendly tip, don't call it half a cow. Call it half a calf, or if you know it was a steer, call it half a steer. He did not sell you a cow.

It was a great deal offered, $2.25lb. live weight. Add in the processing it came to around $4.85/ lb. Toss in the new freezer and it was still only $6.45/ lb. A person can't even buy a pound of hamburger at the store for that price these days.

Fixed.
Thanks for the tip. Where I'm from it was all dairy farms and they had cows. There was not much cattle being raised for market. I was not a part of either industry, hence my ignorance.

 

[NBF7240]

Great. I am glad you are well pleased with your purchase.

 

[redblood]

just a heads up. we raised cattle and always put up a steer we fed out on corn. one thing we learned (the hard way)- you have to check your freezer often. we had 3 or 4 chest freezers in our outbuilding and one went out and we didnt catch it in time. expensive mistake

My friend that is a great deal!! If I didn't live so far away(COMMIERADO) I'd be speed over there!!

[TX300mag]

That sounds great!

I'm hoping one of ours is ready to pick up when I get back to Texas this afternoon.

Great timing-thanks to OP for post. My chest freezer lands this weekend. Is Collins Farm the one I see in Morgan county? Not too far from me if so!
