Grass Fed beef and Free range eggs

knucklehed · Feb 17, 2010

Great news for me. I was just talking to a friend of mine here at work. his Ex-wife has 35 acres, over 3 dozen free roaming chickens and raises all grass fed beef.
I am now getting free range eggs for $2/dozen and 87% lean grass fed ground beef for $2/pound... This represents a significant savings for me

damn thats awesome...most of the places around me charge around $6/lb for grass fed beef...i'm actually talking to a local farmer this weekend so hopefully he can hook me up with a good deal

I am in the UK and get a dozen free range eggs for £1.60 (about $2.50) which is very cheap as in the supermarkets they are £3.50 ($6) for a dozen!!

Beef is more expensive - a lb of rump sets me back about £4 ($6-7)

Becasue the eggs are so cheap my next blast will include up to 10 free range eggs per day and lb of beef

I'm half-way serious about paying you $4/pound and have you ship it to me which would still put some small coin in your pocket... do they use pesticides on the grass?

No pesticides/fertillizers used. My friend has arranged to get a full beef from which I am getting my first 50lbs. I will find out if I can get 100lbs instead. We have a large chest freeezer so storage is no problem for me. I don't mind sharing if it all works out

I don't know about shipping to Canada? I think canada is very restrictive about letting US raised beef in. Mad Cow disease or something like that, but not sure.
I asked if I could have a 100lbs off this up coming slaughter and he said "no" I'd have to wait for another cow to mature for that amount. He quoted me $1.75 lbs and I pay the processing.

That's awsome bro. The commisary here carries free-range organically-fed eggs (about 2.25 a dozen). They're like five bucks out in the civilian world!

They haven't caught on to the grass-fed beef though--wish they would

You scored.... like not even like you made a 2-point conversion, like you pulled a freaking Bears in the superbowl run it in from the kick off for a touchdown like scoring. Good job dude

winnivee · Feb 17, 2010

excellent pricing

Gunsmith · Feb 18, 2010

that is awsome pricing , I ended up with just over 600lbs off of my steer , after its all said and done I came out right at $2.50 a pound with processing and wrapping. I had most of it ground into ground round (90% lean beef) , kept the tenderloins and a some sirloin for steaks.

I love the taste and the free range eggs are great also

unoigo · Feb 18, 2010

Very cool. Same thing here.... Recently moved to a new area and after reading mountaindog1's info I figurd what the heck. Not to mention it's cheaper than store bought food.

Free Range Eggs $1.10 a dozen

Half of Beef $2.50 pound incl processes, wrapping and delivery

The good thing is, and IMO better than ordering it is I can go to the farms and actually see how the animals live and eat.

Same here. Grass fed Angus. Have multiple sources in my area. Loving it.
