I'm in the UK - but yes he's a registered 'pest controller' - he gets paid by local farmers to keep the invasive deer population low (muncjac and Chinese water deer), and is also licenced to sell the meat. You can get either a whole/half skinned and basically butchered deer from him, or any selected cuts, for £9 a kg - which pretty damn cheap really!
- kvirani 2y agoAnd that right there is a solid moat
- ljf 2y agoHe gets paid twice - what a business!
- nathancahill 2y agoBait shop on one side, sushi shop on the other! As a friend likes to say.
- MandieD 2y agoThat is a fantastic deal for meat you can feel good about! I pay that much for pork at the big organic grocery chain in Germany (ebl) that I can only hope they’re telling the truth about, and far more for the occasional beef steak there.
- Amezarak 2y agoI live in America. I buy half-beef from a farmer down the road. His cows are pastured all the time, grass-fed and grass-finished. It costs me $3.50/lb to do this and that includes dozens of steaks - all cuts and ground beef etc. are the same flat rate. This isn't a special deal either, this is how the guy makes his living, along with some other farm products.
- arrowsmith 2y agoWhat's "half-beef"?
- oaththrowaway 2y agoIt's where you buy half of a cow
- bsder 2y agoLink, please? Or at least a general area? Grass-finished is really tough economically; corn results in an animal almost 3x the size. The only grass-finished place I have is struggling no matter how much beef I eat :) I really need other places if it goes away.
