Seriously considering calling in an order. that sounds fantastic. Think of all the beef jerky that could be made . Even with the shittier cuts.

Definitely worth a conversation for sure. Some people may not find value in it, but for us, we figure it saves us a few hundred bucks (at least) in meat per year and the quality is definitely worth the investment. I posted this on FB and two of my buddies (that have eaten the beef before) asked to come over for a bbq... hmm, wonder who's providing the meat? lol

how does that place work? do they have an actual retail front or do you call them, place an order and just pick up?

You can do both, they sell right out of where they cut things up and do their packaging - if someone is squeamish in the least bit with respect to that process, then it would best to not go inside there at their location north of Cross Iron Mills.

You can call and place an order and then go and pick it up.

I'd like to do this sort of thing with either buffalo or elk, and split it amongst a few people. Both are big animals! Of course I'd rather moose but not commercially sold.

Thinking of all that red meat makes my mouth water, and my heart hurt

I'm torn between Highwood Valley and Wineglass.. has anyone tried both ? any difference in taste/quality?

[black_2.5RS]

I was due to get a 1/2 cow from wineglass and they told me it died because it ate garbage. Not sure where they keep their cows or what they're feeding them but I opted to go somewhere else where for my cuts.

Any difference between these guys and red deer lake meats? The one near Shaughnessy http://www.rdlmeats.ab.ca

You should give https://www.crmr.com/ranch/ a call, talk to Terry, he would put a package together for you. We get all our elk and bison from them.

Your meat manna is one of three places on my list. It is actually in the lead. I was at the Farmers' Market on the weekend, serious sticker shock over in the beef stall. Time to move to the country and raise a lot of beef.

Well the farmers market is a lot more expensive than buying direct from the farm.

Just got a quote from WineGlass Ranch:

We are sold-out for our December delivery (that is our first delivery of the year). We will have some available for January.

The price is $5.25 / lb hanging weight (hanging weight is the bone-in weight). That works out to be ~$1000 - $1200 for a ¼, depending on the finished weight of the animal. The price includes cutting, wrapping and delivery to the Calgary area.
