edit: holy crap I just looked at that sight. I get my grass fed beef for under $5 a lb and the grass fed prime sirloin are over $100 per lb from there!! I don't think I could ever justify even trying that!

Well it helps that we are below 10% of 224 lbs per year. And we buy from those other sources too, particularly Costco and Fresh Marker, just not for Christmas Eve and a few other times / year when we get the good stuff.
