Heads Up on Discounted Grass Fed Beef

Got this message from a friend earlier:

Subject: BEEF :)

"Hey, I meant to tell you earlier.  Sprouts is having an awesome sale.  40% off of all cuts of organic grass fed beef.

Thought you might be interested.  I know I'll be stocking up!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only thing is I would check to see if it is from Uraguay as I think Sprouts gets there beef from there.  That may not be a deal killer at this price, however, you should be aware of that as local typically is going to be fresher, and besides that it is good to support local farmers.

Speaking of local farmer's - Richard gave me the hook up on a friend of his who has his own land and grass-fed cattle up in Van Alstyne.  Getting a calf directly from him and having it butchered is way cheap - possibly 3-4 dollars a pound.  I had spoken to several folks about going in on this together and just kind of dropped it once I found out beef was one of my food sensitivies.  (I can see the Chick-Fil-A cows doing a celebration dance now that I made that public.)

Private message me if you want his contact info and I will hook you up.  Maybe a few of you who are interested in getting loaded up with grass-fed beef can go in on it?  Let me know......
