2015 Cow

We've clearly gotten a bit spoiled with our purchase of half a cow every year. It's delicious, affordable, and obviously of high-quality. We buy from a random family we found off Craigslist. They have been great to work with it, and haven't even raised their prices in the past three years. Unfortunately, they are reducing their herd and it's unlikely they will have any extra to sell next year. Cue the panic! 

This year's cow was slightly smaller than the last. All in all, our half ended up at 268 pounds, hanging weight. We spent a total of $898, which got us:

Ground beef - 40, 1 lb packages

Stew meat - 8 
Soup bone - 5 
Heart - 1 
Liver - 3 (we had 7 last year. Wyatt is sad)
Brisket - 1
Rump roast - 3
Chuck roast - 9
Cross rib roast - 2
Flank steak - 1
Round steak - 8
Sirloin tip - 8
T-bone - 6
Ribeye - 5
Short rib - 6
Round Bone roast - 4
