Buying 1/4 cow direct from the ranch

[SouthPaw]

Other options to consider are "freezer bundles" from a reputable meat cutter/butcher in your area. Not sure who's good in CS area now, but Google says to try these for starters:

Bundles are usually a little higher per pound than processing a carcass, but you may be able to tailor it a little more to your needs.
Just a thought, and a start for your research.

Thanks for the links. With my current diet and eating about 2lbs of meat a day it can get rather expensive. I will have to compare this to Sams club pricing to see if I can save myself a few bucks or pay a few bucks for better quality.

Just FYI...Those links are in Colo Spgs. I'm sure you can find some in Greely, or close by. Jim and some others have mentioned Arapahoe Meats http://arapahoemeatco.com/ , and there is a shop in Longmont we have had good luck with. http://www.yourbutcherfrank.com/Your...k/Welcome.html
