last time i ordered beef it lasted 2 years. it is packaged to last that long. i cannot eat those huge amts so...
i could've ordered 1/4 but i like cuts from both front and hind. HOWEVER, since i don't like long cooked meat, i have decided to have the butcher give me ground and steak, period!! so it's just a matter of which steaks i want. most would say ribeye so the front but this beef had the best sirloin i've ever eaten. and, of course, the hind provides more meat so it'll get me through a year.
they will also give me all the organs that no one else want so i get lots of liver and tongue....
