Grass-Fed Beef is Safer Than Conventional Beef

Consumer Reports writes a compelling article detailing how sustainable raised grass-fed beef is more safe to consumers than conventional raised beef. 

The article explains, "We know that sustainable methods are better for the environment and more humane to animals. But our tests also show that these methods can produce ground beef that poses fewer public health risks.” 

The article also states, "Cattle can have a healthier (and more humane) upbringing if they graze in pastures for most—if not all—of their lives. “The most sustainable beef-production systems don’t rely on any daily drugs, don’t confine animals, and do allow them to eat a natural diet,” Rangan says. And what’s good for cows is good for people, too. “Our findings show that more sustainable can mean safer meat.”

What cuts are in 1/4 beef & How much space is needed for storage?

One of the questions I get asked the most is:

"How much freezer space do I need for a 1/4 of beef?"

On my last delivery I took a picture of the actual four boxes that make up a Quarter (1/4 of a beef) of a hanging weight angus beef of 719 pounds.

This takes up about two shelves of an upright freezer.

Here is the package break down of what was included in this delivery. A typical T-bone package contains two nice size steaks(approx 3/4" thick). Of course, this package count varies depending on the size and weight of the animal:
