Yes after I had chosen what I wanted to do with it. I chose ground beef, steaks and a few roasts.

I think the whole half was 185 hanging weight. I only wanted to process 65 lbs. These are non antibiotic non processed grain fed Highland cows. Not as big as "normal" around here.

Huh, that's exactly what I get as well. I know the farmer who raises them. We pay for the calf ($500), then we pay for processing at the meat plant.

only 1-2 days a week. Figure 1.5 lbs per meal on average. Steak days are more, hamburger days are less. We eat out a lot.

If I had half a cow in my freezer, I'd just chain myself to the grill and stop eating out.

Pretty much. . . maybe I'll buy a freezer on craigslist and then go for the cow, seems like a lot. @Minion-Queen is saying 65 lbs, and others are saying 200+ lbs. . .

It's a good investment assuming you have a chest freezer and a vacuum sealer. And you like to eat beef.
