organic free-range local beef

I picked up our 1/8th of a cow yesterday. I got a squidge under 95 pounds: six roasts, a bunch of good quality steaks, stew meat, soup bones and a whole bunch of ground beef for $230.00 ($165.00 for the farmer and $65.00 for the butcher). That's about $2.42 a pound for a morally acceptable cow. He lived up the road from us in a nice field where he had a pleasant life (up 'til the last hour that is). We're supporting our local food economy and avoiding contributing to the horrific feedlot industry.
