In my freezer.
Well, in my parent's freezer. Thank heavens they had the cubic foot real estate because that is a lot of meat. A lot. My husband and I have been wanting to do this for a while and we figured that spring is a great time to go for it since the grass that the cows graze on is amazing right now. So, there it is - 216 pounds of beef. What I loved the most was speaking with the butcher. She customized the cuts for me based on our needs. We have a lot of ground beef, many roasts, and even round roasts prepped for jerky making! I'm pumped.
I really enjoy knowing where my beef comes from. I know that it was grass fed, enjoyed acres of grazing and sunshine, and this cow never saw a feed lot. Half of this happy cow will hopefully feed my family for a long time. I am thankful that I don't have to deal or worry about this stuff anymore.
For those interested in purchasing shares of beef in Arizona, check out this directory over at Eat Wild. There are a lot of farmers out there! My particular cow came from Double Check Ranch. I know the farmer and hope to tour the ranch soon.
