Not close to expectations
We purchased a half beef for $1200.
First issue is the source of product. Bryant's property is 11 acres. Not a lot of room for a herd, and certainly not the land displayed on their website. So where does the beef actually come from? They "work with local farms" - really? Then how come the Brisket appears to come from Colorado- at least it's packed there according to the label (Clear River Farms).
When ordering half beef, I expect to get half of one animal. What I received is clearly not.
The quality of butchering is diabolical, not the work of a professional butcher, the cuts of steak are completely random, from a half inch to near two inches. Some weigh almost two pounds! Most were not trimmed properly- way too much fat.
Sad to say even Walmart do a way better job.
Lastly they "pad" the order with cheap ground beef - a lot of it. I didn't order any, even with the last option, I selected "more stew". We received almost 50lb of ground beef and just 2 1/2lb of stew. When adding the two Brisket - 28lb (I expected one, however it isn't clear on their order form) and 34lb of Chuck, that's now most of what received (112lb out of 194lb total).
When you factor in the high prices they list on the labels, you are not saving a penny by ordering in bulk.
On the plus side, the New York Strip we had had good flavor, albeit difficult to cook due to random thickness.
