I encourage all the Brothers on this page to do a little research in their area. Get a decent freezer, investigate farmers and butchers, particularly in rural areas, that sell whole or sides of beef. The price you get steaks, roasts and hamburger for will absolutely amaze you. And will pay for the freezer in a year or two. It is a vanishing thing but take advantage of it if you can. Properly butchered and wrapped, the meat will keep at least for two years.
