How to buy a beef?

[sometimesright]

"Warming to slow cookers" I see what you did there. I'm no expert but the processor I use told me that everyone usually wants all the steaks they can get so he starts there. I ended up with a variety: Ribeyes (although I think I had a mis-mark because I'm pretty sure I had a few strips) cubed steak, rib steak, sirloin ends, sirloins, flank, sirloin tip, and T-Bones. Even then I still ended up with the brisket, stew meat, two roasts (think Instant Pot with those and stew meat) and 107 lbs. of ground beef. I could have done it differently (like ribs, etc.) if I wanted but this worked OK for me. YMMV.
