trombonishSo the woggy and I have been meaning for a while to buy a bulk cow-portion, and have it in our freezer. Since the freezer finally happened this weekend, the cow buying happened today!
It is amazing how fast people want to bring things to your house when you are buying it from them, in both cases, I went, "Hi I'd like to talk to you about obtaining ____", and in both cases they said, "sure! can I deliver it this afternoon?"
What 232 lbs of meat looks like in our living room (considering the 100 lbs ground beef is still in the two boxes on the right):
Breakdown coming after I feed the EVERY YOWLING YOWLYBUTTS.
Ok, Breakdown list:
6 chuck roast
2 rump roast
2 cross rib roast
2 brisket (looks like a flat roast)
6 ribeye steaks
8 top sirloin steaks
4 big, 2 little sirloin tip steaks
6 top round steaks
2 back rib sections (4 ribs)
4 short rib sections (2 ribs)
2 skirt steak
2 blade meat
2 flat iron steak
2 flank steak
2 eye round (roast?)
2 hanging tender
2 tri tip
2 shoulder tender
8 beef tenderloin
8 new york strip steak
4 packages "beef for kabobs"
6 packages "beef for stew"
6 "Osso Bucca style" beef sliced shank
Plus 2 boxes (about 100-1lb packages) ground beef
I took pictures of all the different kinds, but to be honest they look like a lot of packages, red blobs, and labels.
I am SO EXCITED to make all the food. Over the next year. And JERKY.
And yes, it all fit in the new chest freezer (with room to spare. But maybe not room for a herd of chickens, which I was also debating buying, but then we bought the half instead of the quarter beef).
