I’m 36 and can never remember buying beef any other way, but we’ve been VERY fortunate and never had a problem with the freezer not working. I know it’s a gamble!

My husband and I are really considering doing this for the first time and I had the same concern about power loss. We plan to buy a generator to provide emergency power in the event of a major storm or something, but I dont know what you would do if that happened while out of town.

Hi!

Here is a diagram with beef cuts on different countries (USA, Britain and Argentina). I hope you find it helpful

Okay, so here’s my question…I LOVE this idea but what do you do if you lose power (especially if you don’t happen to be home at the time)? I would cry if all that meat went bad. My grandmother loves to tell me that nothing goes bad as quickly as beef (that could be an old wives tale-lol).

Thanks for another great post. I don’t think I’ll drive down to get beef from you (unless your uncle will have more over Christmas when I have a friend driving that way). But you’ve motivated me to look for a local source of beef. There’s a store here that sells freshly processed beef at a pretty steep price. But if I can find a farmer and order it direct, it very well may be a good price like this.

Thanks!

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I’ve been pondering the thought but never have actually seen anyone do it. I was looking over an order sheet and got overwhelmed and put it away.. maybe I’ll dig it out after your next post!

In my area what you describe as chicken steaks is called cubed steak.

Wow, you’re in beef heaven, aren’t you, LOL!? BTW, crates don’t fit in my small freezer. But what I use, and works nicely, is plastic boxes with snap-on lids and handles. They are like shoeboxes, only a little bigger. I have pork tenderloins in one and chicken tenders in another–so all I have to do is lift them out.
Do you ever make beef stroganoff?

OH this post is making me have more desire into looking at the possibilities of getting 1/4 of beef too! This could be a win-win situation for us…I have meat in the freezer and hubby can enjoy the beef like what he grew up eating.

I can’t wait to hear about the “chicken fries”!

Thanks for stopping by and you can do “linky love”!

Growing up on the farm we always had meat in the freezer. Pretty much the same way you do yours. We still get meat from a friend, when we can, and the cuts are the same. But I don’t get KC steaks and I do use the round steaks for stew meat. Cabin stew is really yummy. It is baked in the oven for 6 hrs.
As far as the liver is concerned we do save them for the pets. Heart & tongue is an aquired taste. More pet food at times.
