No never have. The prices are stupid expensive, especially Omaha Steaks, and it is all frozen. You can get good quality cuts at the local butcher, and they will even custom cut.

I've had Omaha STeaks before. It comes packed in a styrofoam cooler. Meat was OK. I've been buying grass fed beef from a certified organic farm in OK for a couple years.

Grass fed (finished) meat is much leaner, but is rich in Omega 3's instead of the the bad Omega 6's that normal beef has.

Sneaky farmers have been cutting grass letting it dry in place while the creatures great and small piss and poop on it, then rolling it up for later.
Okie farmer, handful of hay in one hand bang-stick in the other. He gives the hay to a cow. As the cow chews he applies the bang-stick. "There ya go Tex, grass finished." LOL

My nephew always sends me some for Christmas. The flavors okay but I actually prefer the flavor of choice beef from Tom Thumb.

But I do like the styrofoam coolers they make great light boxes for doing macro photography. And pouring a little water on the dry ice creates fog.

I stopped by a Mexican meat market and picked up couple 3\4" ribeye's Friday. The taste was really great. Better than my grocery store. Just was thinking about better cuts.

I’m we need to talk about this

We used to buy meat from someone I know from another forum, but he’s in AZ and doesn’t ship...

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

By far, the best beef I’ve eaten is grass fed prime beef. Take it home, lose the package, and let it dry age in the open in the beer fridge. You can use a rib stand for the bbq to minimize space.

Individual cuts can be done in a couple of days; a whole prime rib that needs to be butchered can take three weeks or more.

While you’re dry aging the beef, switch to bourbon because you really want to keep a constant temp and humidity inside the fridge. Every time the door is opened, that gets changed and can muck it up.

Buy a cow and have it butchered.

You don't cut hay and let it dry in a pasture with other animals in it. Most hay isn't even cut in fields that have had any grazing on them for months.

I’ve had Omaha and another, wellness meat, or something. We tried the latter when we were trying to do the While30 thing. They make bacon without any sugar or added nitrates/nitrites. Expensive, but healthy.

If your looking for steaks I’d buy from a local place.

Never tried it, but always heard Snake River Farms was really good. I know a lot of guys on the competition BBQ circuit use them. But just looking at their website, I can get filets at a third of the price from my local butcher that are outstanding. Don't see any way theirs could be that much better.

Yep. There are plenty of local hog and beef ranchers around who will be happy to sell you a whole or half carcass, butchered, and it will cost a LOT less than buying the same meat in individual packages at the grocery store. And probably be better quality. I'm partial to Frydeck Farms for pork.

That’s what my family did the whole time I was growing up. But we had “connections”!

My granddad raised black Angus for sale. My dad would yearly have one “set aside” for the family. Rented “a locker” at the slaughterhouse (-50 deg F) and we’d have our beef needs met for the year. Most years, same with the hogs - not raised for commercial sale (unlike the cattle) but a few kept to supply the family with pork, bacon, sausage, shoulders & ham.

There are lots of folks that will split one with you as well.

Haven't been to Jaskson's yet. I'll take that as, I should? Didn't wanna waste gas if they disappoint.

Prime from Costco.

Awesome meat.

When I was a kid we lived halfway between Post and Tahoka for a little while. All I can remember about Jackson's was their beef jerky.
