Ok so I don't want to chime in here to much as there is alot of different opinions when it comes to aging meat . Some say leaving it in a freezer longer helps while others argue it stops the aging process. Some say to age properly you must keep at an optimal temp and never frozen like our meat coolers. Most of the meat I give out will already be aged a week or so . Now.. Does it taste different . I guess it's really up to the person . If I have misspelled or made no sense I'm sorry I'm typing on my iPhone

I got one from Jedi a while back, that he got from you, and have yet to defrost it.

I did however eat a steak from the ones bcoop had, and it was a mighty fine Ribeye.

I can do the tenderloin. I can get off at 6pm today. Let me know a time after that and I can swing up there after work.

I'm just getting back on my feet, I'll be buying from you soon. I'm only 2 miles away.

Ya I think I remember you brad . I believe I met you a few years ago when I had my coupe . You had the yellow sn right?

Hines if I wasn't so far away I would probably be picking up half the stuff you post just so it doesn't go to waste. My freezer is still less than half full after what I got from you plus the deer I took this past season, so there is plenty of room.


Guys, today I butchered one of the ribeye primals that I got from Hines and I got 17 steaks out of it that are all 1-1/2" thick. 17!! Plus another pound of meat in trimmings, etc, that will be good for hamburgers, stew, etc. Steaks averaged 13 ounces each. This was after letting the primals age for 3 weeks. That comes out to about $1.77 per 13 ounce steak. Yes, you read that correctly, $1.77 for a 13 ounce ribeye.

I also cut up the loin primals and wound up with 16 steaks(12 ounce each) out of the first one, plus another pound of trimmings. On the 2nd loin primal I didn't cut any steaks out of it and I got a 6 pound center cut loin which I cut in half, a 4 pound loin that I also in half, and a 3 pound loin. Again, this was after letting the primals age for 3 weeks. Just for the loin steaks that is about $1.25 each.

I threw the ribeye's on the grill tonight and they were absolutely fucking RIDICULOUS! I hope I never have to buy another precut grocery store steak every again.

Great! I'm glad you liked them it makes a huge difference not getting them from the store after being pumped with marinade and water
