IMMORTAL
4pounds of what kind of cut? I pay around 11 for 1lb of raw honey.
I get my GrassFed from whole foods. Mostly ground & stews is what I get which range from 5-7 dollars/lb. I’m thinking of getting the family pack from slankers (http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/index.htm) since it comes out to about 4dollars/lb, 6 for me if you include shipping.

No idea why they don’t ship but the prices are amazing 
luckily for me they are somewhat local.

please be in southern CA, please be in southern CA, please be in southern CA…
dammit! nice prices though
$6 per pound is fairly typical for grass fed beef. I used to get mine on-line, but now that Whole Foods carries it, I just go there.
Buy half a cow. I’ve heard it works out to about $2 a lb after butchering, and you get to choose how the cow is finished. I want to do this badly, but I don’t have a chest freezer and I’m planning on moving in a few months to a place where I can’t have a chest freezer.

I’ve heard this before as well, and it’s a damned price effective way to do it if you have enough cash up front.
It’s things like this that make me glad to live in Wisconsin… whenever I want grass-fed beef, I visit my parents’ farm and raid their freezer, because I know exactly what the steers were fed while they were raised 
Haha! One of my specialties!
wallacehomesteadfarms.com sells whole cows for $3.75/lb CUT WEIGHT (not hanging weight). You just have to pay for shipping. That is THE BEST deal PERIOD!!!

$2 a pound for grain-fed cattle, maybe, but grass-fed/grass-finished, absolutley not…
Don’t know what cut you are talking about. I buy Texas Longhorn Grass Fed. It is 98% fat free, so it is basically all beef protein. I have tried their sausage, ground, and sirloin. Ground and sausage is $4.25 per pound. That does not include shipping and that varies depending how much you order and destination.
Here is link:

Unless it’s for for ethical purpose, but buying lean cuts of Grass-fed beef would be a waste of money IMO.

Ethical reasons for the amount of fat content? I’m not sure I understand.
I’m tempted to buy another fridge so I can store 1/2 of a cow but I don’t think my dormitory has enough space…
thanks a lot for all the replies. I’m looking to get a freezer now I’m going the half cow route. I’m glad I moved out of that damned apartment lol, if not it wouldn’t be possible.
I figured 5/pound was fair but ya know, save wherever you can right?
and I have found honey ay my local bassets for 10 bucks so I’m good on that
It sucks living in my city , people look at me like I’m crazy when I ask for Grass fed beef
“what is that? why does it matter what the cow ate? like omg youre so weird” lol
and yes, its kinda for ethical reasons, I like knowing that the animal wasnt subject to toture for my sake. I understand they ae bred for food but why cage them up during their lives? Why not let them chill lol
Anyone that has bought grass-fed in bulk (quarter, half, etc.) have any thoughts on how the cow is finished? I’m ready to buy a quarter (picked up the freezer today) and some are offering to grain-finish for an extra $.10/lb hanging.
At Ct, while there is plenty of cow country around me (I live in WA), I still can’t find grass-fed in the stores anywhere. I understand it’s not as “presentable” due to the lack of dyes, plus the fact that the consistency isn’t there from steer-to-steer.
Also, if you are looking for a used freezer, now is the time to get one as they are going fast due to hunting season.
Grocery store chain near me routinely has grass-fed beef whole tenderloin (cuts into filet) on sale for 3.99. So good, hard to believe the price. It always seems to be 10$+ /lb online.
Grass-fed has better ratio of Omega 3/6 fat. So grass-fed fat is superior to conventional beef fat. It be a waste of money in my opinion, if you’re only buying it for lean cuts. Unless of course you buy it for ethical reason (cow eats it’s natural diet)

So in general you want to get the fattiest cut of grass fed beef since its already pretty lean in the first place.
Yes, grass-fed beef tend to be more lean (to my understanding) since they are allowed more room to move around and they are also fed their natural diet. I was just wondering how the percentage of fat influenced any ethical decisions, as I also prefer to have an animal live a healthy and roaming life rather than being couped up in a confined space.
Anyone know what size freezer would be adequate for 100lbs, 200lbs, etc. of beef? I’ve never bought more than 20 pounds at a time but I’d like to seeing as how I can get it for a better deal if I buy in bigger bulk.

Slankers website claims 15lbs is about the size of a shoe box
