    You’re brave to order mystery ground beef right now. Highly recommend avoiding it for the foreseeable future.

      This is why living rural is the best. I get my beef from a friend that has a bunch of cows. Same /w eggs, poultry, vegetables, pork, venison.

      I have literally have pulled a Ron Swanson and met my meat before slaughter.

        I tried to buy part of a cow but i have on a website that made you choose your cow, like a lobster. Nope! Not doing that!

        I just bought a quarter cow from a local rancher. Dude is independently wealthy and does it for fun. Great beef and I know where it came from.

          Same with my buddy, farmers make mad money. He breeds them and sells the cafes once they ween. As they age out he slaughters them if he needs beef or auctions them too. I usually get a text msg a week or two prior with a list of whats available.

          Best beef, grass fed w/ a daily does of potato skins.

          (there is a potato chip factory near by that gives him the skins. The cows go mad for them!)
