I'm going to put a Beef order in at a co-op in Wisconsin our family uses come September, nothing like farm fresh cuts!
Nice that you have that available. Do you have to buy in bulk IE sides or 1/4s?
Yup. My folks, brother & sister have more freezer space so they get 1/2's, I'll get a 1/4. They store on a on-site locker you have a key to open, but people try to keep their home freezers fully stocked every couple months to cut down on travel time/cost. Even with a 1/4 all the cuts average out to a little over $2/lb. Obviously that includes a lot of hamburger and other lesser cuts, but so far the quality of the meat is quite good. I suppose if you add in travel costs (not that it's very far, a slight diversion from normal lake route) the per pound cost might be higher. But a deal is a deal! I have a roast from the same place to cook up this week.
