How much for a butchered cow?

Yeah I live in LA and I have 2 freezers just asking to be filled with lots of beef

I pay 2.49 lb which includes how I want everything size wise and delivery.

Eta.....minimum of a half cow to buy.

this is where i started my search.

i get meat from the guy at the farmers market who has goat cheeses. cant recall his name. cooked some beef shank this weekend. have ground beef in the freezer. but i cook for just one usually, so i have no use for that much food.

ill tell you i recall it being pretty expensive for a side of beef, but one day when i have a family, its prob going to be the only way i feed them beef.

Not expensive at all if you have a good connection and the space to store. Saves me money in the long run. I cant buy a good steak at 2.49 a lb in a store and the meat tastes better than anything you could get in a store too.

per lb no, its not expensive.

but i dont have the means to store it and i often cook for just me when its beef since my roommate doesnt do red meat. so its a big purchase when only one person in the household is consuming meat

salmon, if you end up buying the meat from the butcher, i will buy the beef cheek (face) meat off you. i cant find a butcher anywhere in BR to give me these.

I pay $2.25/lb.

Seems like all of those farms are charging about $7 per lb.

those are all grass fed no chemical hippie cows.

if these guys have some suggestions at 2-3 bucks lb. and you dont care about the hippie way of taking care of animals, disregard my website.

Oh I'm looking for grass fed
