Brazilian beef

[sk_wheatking]

.....and I thought this was going to be a thread about personal grooming complaints!

Judging grassfarmer by his granola green posts a "Brazilian" would be the last thing going in his household.

In Regina we have several small meat markets. Halves are sawn into packaged cuts, sausage is made and smoked and it is usually like a general store. Is that what you mean by butcher shop?

Our local butcher stopped killing a while ago. Brings in halves from somewhere else. Regulations killed it.
However, if you want your own done, there is a small local that kills yours on farm. Cuts and wraps too. He just cant sell it.

Many of the small, custom butcher shops have closed down here in Ontario. Still have one 10 miles from home, fortunately. Might have to book in beef or pork a couple of months ahead though.

It costs about $450-$550 to get a beef killed and processed, depending on size and about $250 to get a 250 lb hog done. More than a hog is worth...

But related to imported meats, our one son and his wife are raising a heritage breed type of hog and their targeted market is selling sides of pork into Toronto through their neighbor who has a hard time raising enough for his customers.

The price? $3.00/lb in sides. His customers cut it up to their own specs.

There is a growing demographic that wants to buy that type of meat and will pay a long dollart for it because it is raised the way they want and has a far better texture, flavour and eating experience.

So much for a Brazilian package...LOL!

Seems only fair, we need acid wash to go with our glycol,fungacide,40 other chemicals on our wholesome food produced in this country. Antibiotics on our chicken/hogs/beef.. what you would call a balanced diet

Its' an interesting question to the restaurant(s) you frequent: "Where do you get your beef from?"
