I know some of you guys are eating Paleo and I was wondering if anyone has tried to buy a quarter grass-fed or side of grass-fed cow? I've recently discovered there are quite a lot of farms around my area that sell either grass-fed, grain finished or grass-fed, grass finished beef in bulk.
If anyone has tried to do this, buy a large quantity and store it to eat slowly, how was your experience? How long did it take you to go to it, how many people in the family? How was your storage experience? Quality of meat? I'm interested in any kind of bulk meat, beef, pork, lamb, goat, game if you have experience in any.
I've just picked up 25 lbs of steaks and roasts from a grass-fed, grass-finished local farm which actually fits in much less space than I thought. Depending on how long the 25 lbs take us to go through, I'm thinking about buying a quarter. Hopefully in the future, I want to buy bulk beef, half pig and maybe whole goat (can't find any reasonably priced bulk lamb/chicken yet) all from local farms with no hormones/antibiotics/corn/soy) Would love to hear some other people's experiences!
