Meat Deals

[MikeHoncho]

Hey all, idk what the deal is lately but I've been to a couple of Kroger that has Tyson chicken on a pretty good sale.

Last week was buy one get two free on wings and legs. This week I found boneless skinless breasts and boneless skinless thighs for like $1.99 lb. I personally have $150 in savings from just that the last week. Loaded the freezer and I plan to can up some of the breast I just bought this morning.

Shelbyville and Batesville are the stores I hit up, not sure about the ones in your area.

If you have a Kroger card, they have whole beef briskets on sale for $2.49/lb. with the digital coupon this week.

Same deal for baby back ribs.

Bought 22.5 lbs of Wrights bacon at Kroger this morning. It’s on sale for $6.99 per 1.5 pound package. It’s limit 5 per kroger card, but we used both of our cards, and my daughters card. There is also a $2 off coupon that we applied to one of the five packs per card, so 3 of the 15 packs were only $4.99

Talked w wife about if we need to get another hog growing. Probably wait until spring since sausage can be made from many other things

All cattle don’t weigh the same. You can buy a smaller breed and get all the cuts, with smaller joints. (Roasts). Less burger than an Angus/ Hereford cross. Less left overs. Better for empty nesters, DINKS, small family. Plus not raised on corporate farms with chemical overload. Better meat all around.

Look at Dexters, Mini Hereford. Red Polls, Highlands. Great meat, less cost.

Ballstaters dad bought feeders, that means they have been vaxed at least once, maybe twice depending on where, how he bought. They came from a calf producer, vaxed at 4-6 months. If he doesn’t feed them to finish they will sell to a finisher. If he feeds to finish he will have to vax them again at least one more time, possibly two. If he sells, they go through the sale barn again, that is another vax. Or two, depending on where and how again.

Please don’t see this as dumping on Ballstaters dad, just attempting to help folks get a good deal and good beef.

The pink squishy stuff you buy at……..never mind. Good luck to everybody.

do they butcher it too? Or have a butcher they recommend? I’m seriously considering making the dive into buying a portion. I just need to make sure my freezer is working, would hate to lose.

We buy our beef from a friend in Brownstown, they take the cattle to the processors, and we call them and tell em what cuts we want.

Most cattle men, haul to a USDA slaughterhouse. You pay the farmer his fee, then pay the butcher his fee at pick up. Or pay the farmer the total and he brings it to you. Or any combination of those things. It depends on the deal you make with the farmer/slaughterhouse.

Whatever you do, you will get a better deal than 20.00 $ a lb. steaks. The whole thing costs the same per lb. Burger or T-Bone.

If you like, stop by and pick one up. Bring a trailer and take it where you like. Just point and say, “that one”.

I currently haul to Monon Ind. Monon Meats. Animals are market price of that day. You would have to call MM to ask them their costs.

I heard you had a certain steer you'd like to see gone...

Man…….we spent all day yesterday going over every ft. of fence on 18 acres of grazing pasture, he stayed in all night. Then wife took dogs out this morning, there that SOB was in the hay field. She brought the dogs in and told me, I went to the barn, that SOB went to the gate and stood there waiting for me to open it so he could walk in. He’s got me trained!!! His time is getting short.

I get some whenever it's on sale. Very good!

I don’t like most vegetables, so canning doesn’t do much good for me, but I didn’t know meat could be canned (at home)

Might have to look up how it’s done.

That will change when you get hungry enough.

This is how I sell. We deliver to processor. I walk you through cut sheet if you are not familiar.

INGO if you don’t buy from me, I will help you with the cut sheet if you need it. Just give nice.

Easy. Very easy. Just takes time.

I lost count at how much burger I have put up that way.

IMO, it is better than most of the bacon available in central Indiana, especially the applewood smoked.

It's all good, but the peppered is my favorite, especially for BLTs.

Well I bought a 3# package of each flavor and divided and vac sealed it into 1# packages. I will let you know which one I like the best.
