When we moved to Montana last fall, we bought a quarter of a beef from Land of Grass, a local producer of grass-fed beef and lamb. I've just put the last of it in the crock pot for some chili. What a sad day. I do have one package of soup bones left but this was the last of the actually meat.
Our quarter of beef served us very well. We had a number of steaks, stews, beef soups (including a South American one with olives that was amazing), stir-frys, and about a billion hamburgers.
If you've ever thought about buying meat by the whole, side, or quarter animal, I'd highly recommend it. I'm still considering buying a deep freezer for out here and doing it again, maybe with a half hog. It gives you an incredible sense of being stocked up and helps plan meals because you have something to plan around.
It was also nice to buy from someone right down the road. We would frequently drive by the Land of Grass pastures on the way to Conrad. The cows always looked so at peace. We thought that must be why they meat tastes so good.
