Hi All!

As some of you know I have a connection for All Natural, Antibiotic & Hormone Free, Locally Raised Beef.

When I saw this quality of meat at the Farmer's Market selling for as high as $13- $15/lb. for the steaks alone, I thought, there has to be a cheaper way! So I found a farmer in Rutherford Co. that has GRASS FED Locally Raised Cows that are all natural, lean, & antibiotic free! They have a butcher that gets the meat USDA inspected, packaged, frozen & kitchen ready! I have placed a couple of orders so far & everyone seems to be very happy with it. I have one friend that has finished up all of theirs & needs to place another order soon. They only need 1/4 so now we need some others to go in on this with us to get the Whole Cow price!

I have tried this beef & I can tell you personally that the taste of it is wonderful. It's the difference between a store bought tomato & a home grown one! You can really taste & see the difference! The hamburger is so lean I don't even need to drain it before I make spaghetti or tacos! And you don't have to worry about those nasty hormones & antibiotics that you will get in the meat from the reg. grocery store! The price of the meat is very reasonable for what you are getting. If we get a whole cow, the price is $4.50/lb & that includes steaks, ribs & roasts as well as hamburger & stew meat. (You MUST get a whole 1/4, or else find someone to split it with, yourself!)

If you are interested here is the information about the beef:

One–fourth, 1/4 Cow Weight 80+/- lbs. (Weight and cuts are approximate, depending on packaged weight of meat)

Consists of:
• 20 steaks (8 t-bones, 4 sirloins, 8 rib-eyes)
• 20 lbs. hamburger
• 10 lbs. stew beef
• 16 pcs. cube steak
• 5 roasts (1 shoulder, 2 chuck, 2 sirloin tips or 1 sirloin tip and 1 rump)
• 2 pkgs. ribs for BBQ
• 2 pcs. round steak

Each 1/4 can be altered slightly from this list depending on your taste. (You MUST get a whole 1/4, or else find someone to split it with, yourself!) If you don't want cube steak, you can get a London Broil or more round steaks or hamburger. If you don't want ribs & prefer Ribeyes you can do that. If you don't want T-bones but prefer Filet Mignon & New York Strips let me know. If you want the liver, you can get it added to your order.

As soon as we can get enough people to complete a whole cow we can get the cow for $4.50/lb. If you go someplace like Earthfare or Home Heath Market & price this stuff you'll be amazed at how cheap this is! The hamburger alone there costs about $5/lb.

To answer a common question - 1/4 of a cow will take up about 5 cubic feet of freezer space.Obviously this is a rough estimate depending on the size of the cow.

If you call me in the next 2 days I can have the frozen beef ready for pick up in Charlotte between Oct. 7 - 9, give or take a day! In order to claim your 1/4 we will need a deposit from you in the next week. Otherwise we won't get it until between Oct. 14 - 16th.

If you are interested please call me @ 704-819-2181 Home or 704-906-4689 Cell with any questions you may have.

We will be ordering more from time to time. So if you see this post & are interested please call me to see if we are working on placing an order.

Thanks,
Lisa

Does anyone have suggestions for relieving poison ivy itch?  I'm new to holistic treatments, and hubby has a small case of what he thinks is poison ivy or oak on face and hands.
