Anyone ever buy a whole cow?

Yes I agree ! Red meat FTW ! I’ve always loved red meat, but 1) I messed a lot of it up because of conventional cooking methods, and 2) I thought I had to have high dollar meats to be tender… SV takes care of all of that though :wink:

Whole cow out here might cost you a little under $200 CAD where i am…


(Dirty Lazy Keto'er, Sucralose freak ;)) #23

What is CAD ??? And a whole cow for under $200 !?!? I’ll take 3 :grinning: lol

Parkinson’s - huh, that sounds like one of those diseases that can be caused by a lectin (usually a plant lectin, but in this case it could be the lectins in red meat - seriously!). IANAD, TINMA, see your own doctor before commencing any serious changes in lifestyle

Let’s hope he never wants to go carnivore (which would exclude the plant lectins that could be a problem) because if he does it’s going to be an avalanche of birds, fish, and if he tolerates them, cow dairy and bird and fish eggs.

My friend who’s actually allergic to beef is also allergic to only one part of only one bird (the egg, of a chicken).

CAD is Canadian pesos.

My hubby is not Keto, I wish, but he is not… but he had multiple concussions and that is related to his Parkinson’s the doctors said.

Whole or halves cost about $4 per pound, including processing out here in Iowa.

Google “beef share” and your location, and I’m sure some farms will show up. They are usually pretty good about laying out the price before hand, and if you call them, they’ll go through it all with you.

This is a genius idea! My business is not even tangentially related to the restaurants, but I do have a federal & state tax ID. I can’t believe the prices you’re quoting on those cuts. I’m gonna check it out!


(Dirty Lazy Keto'er, Sucralose freak ;)) #31

I actually have a business license (also not food related, photography) but I’m starting to think I might want to be more picky with my beef cuts… And / or looking for sales on bulk packages of the stuff I really like.
OR, buying really cheap stuff, like briskets and Chuck roast, and using the SV to make it super tender and juicy :slightly_smiling_face:
In fact, now with the SV, I feel confident that I can make anything tender and juicy :wink:

You might be surprised at what you can get at RD. According to the flyer, my Restaurant Depot is selling 100% grassfed, Angus Ribeye from New Zealand for $7.79/lb. That’s an amazing deal!

@OldDoug

For folks that don’t own a business, it turns out there is another way to gain access to Restaurant Depot. If you are a member of the Kansas City Barbeque Society, you can get unlimited “day passes” to Restaurant Depot. The member membership is $40 per year, which will pay for itself pretty damn quick given that RD meat prices are 50% lower than the grocery store. I just checked out the flyer for my local store just 3 miles down the road, and I can buy spare ribs at $1.39/lb and boneless pork butt at $0.99/lb. Definitely more convenient than buying a whole cow, but I’m still going to need a bigger freezer!

I had a colleague who went to Restaurant Depot all the time. He loved it.
