We sell half cause there are just the 2 of us. After reading about all the antibiotics, GMO grain and filthy conditions at the feedlot, I would not eat supermarket beef if they paid me. Our health has improved drastically. Grass fed is the only way to go. If you can't raise one, buy half on the hoof or go in with a neighbor or friend.

We do run out of burger 1st so I use venison a lot along with lamb burger. I mix sausage, beef and lamb for my meatballs. So good. Raise it yourself or find 4-H kid to support is my advice. I love beef not sure I could give it up.Lisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648485087571625919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-9939121308129938112015-01-23T09:36:29.694-06:002015-01-23T09:36:29.694-06:00Carolyn,

I refuse to pay this kind of money for ground beef. We will use venison or buffalo (we have this in the freezer). Or better yet, we will make turkey or bean burgers.<br />Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-73451121683766094522015-01-23T08:51:23.459-06:002015-01-23T08:51:23.459-06:00Organic beef here is $6.99, unless you wait for it...Organic beef here is $6.99, unless you wait for it to get marked down than, it's under $4.

Crop/feed prices are jacked up so the farmer gets caught in the trickle-down effect and has to charge more for his beef, for instance. Even seed prices are highly inflated so no matter that the farmer grows as much of his own feed as he can, that feed still costs him more. Whatever the scenario, it's not the farmer who is getting rich. If that were so, we wouldn't be losing them each and every day. Who controls the mega-big crop producers who are taking over all the small farms? Why, those same billionaires who have the power to ruthlessly line their own pockets while others suffer.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-71535269395053508762015-01-23T06:37:39.723-06:002015-01-23T06:37:39.723-06:00We are one of those local cattle dudes!

Here is another thing to wonder about:<br /><br />Milk prices are way down for the Dairy Farmer.....this is a product that can't be stored so what you are drinking (not you goat farmers), should be at much lower prices now! Yet it isn't! This used to make us crazy when we dairied. <br /><br />Food for thought: Buy a dairy cow; she calves each year; butcher the calf.....I haven't figured out how you get her bred yet.................<br />gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-33269390239594339232015-01-23T05:28:32.070-06:002015-01-23T05:28:32.070-06:00If people wouldn't buy beef at high prices the...If people wouldn't buy beef at high prices the price would come down. The problem that I have observed while shopping is that so many people get public food assistance and I see them putting meat in the basket without even looking at the prices. Of course there are people with their own money who buy it as well. Combine these two groups and they keep the prices up. I have actually watched people fill up carts with nothing but beef and pay for it with food stamp cards and when I asked my buddy about it, he has seen the same thing only they actually sold it in the parking lot at a reduced price. So on some level the government is funding the high prices. I would guess that most people use the assistance properly but their is a black market for beef of sorts.
