I just split a cow with a friend. Everything all seal packed into individual 1lb steaks and packs of ground beef, etc. It's then frozen immediately after butchering and packing. I did this for the first time last year. I'm getting my half cow this weekend. 311.5 lbs of beef - ribeyes, filet, sirloins, stew meat, shaved steak, ground beef.
$4.75 per/lb
I did the math and I save over $2k doing this. And the meat is the best steak I've ever had. It's like the difference between store bought eggs and eggs from your friends chicken coupe.
