You have several alternatives: - to buy .a side; to buy a front or a hind quarter; to buy wholesale cuts; or to buy retail cuts. • When buying a side or quarter, be prepared to' use all cuts, from steak to stewing beef. If your family will eat only tender cuts, there's no point in purchasing a front _quarter. However, less tender cuts can be just as tasty as more expensive cuts if cooked properly. Bulk beef is normally sold on a hanging weight basis - before the meat is cut and the bone and the fat trimmed. There will be approximately 25 per cent trimmed as bones and fat from a side. For example, if you buy a 300 lb. side of beef, only about 225 lbs. of meat will go into your freezer. The actual price per pound is therefore higher than the qrioted sale price. If the sale price was'90 cents per pound, the price you pay for the actual meat would be $1.20 per pound. A front quarter has a higher proportion of less tender cuts than a hind quarter. Hence a front quarter may sell for less per pound than a side, and a hind quarter may sell for more per pound 'than 'a side. The largest percentage of a front quarter is made up of pot roasts, stewing and ground meat, with a small amount of tender rib steaks and roasts. The hind quarter has a larger percentage of tender steaks such as sirloin and porterhouse and moderately tender roasts such as rump, round and sirloin tip, and some stewing and ground meat. if you're not interested in all the cuts from a side or quarter, then consider buying a wholesale cut such as the loin, hip or chuck. Always check to see if the price of cutting, wrapping and quick- freezing is 'included.. Quick- freezing ensures quality • and charge. 8 members discussed Fruit, the day round and how to use fruit in your meals, Break- fast, LUnch and Dinner, Li n Steffler and. Pedra Jandrisevits demonstrated the five cup salad, which was enjoyed by all at the close of the meeting The next meeting will be held at the home of Nanci Bennett on October 11, Personals Mr. arid Mrs. Rolly Achilles and Christine Achilles visited safety. Otherwise, make sure you have adequate space in your home freezer to do so. You• should not plan to freeze more than fifty pounds of meat in a sixteen cubic foot freezer in a twenty-four hour period. If roasts and steaks are wrapped in airtight packages, they can be stored at - 18 C (0 F ) for 10 to 12 months. Ground beef may be kept 2 to 3 months. Make sure that the side, quarter or wholesale cut is marked with the "Canada Approved" or"Canada" stamp, guaranteeing that the meat is fit for human consumption. If the meat has been graded, it will have a brown square mark on the main wholesale cuts of the carcass and a ribbon-like grade mark on each wholesale cut. The color indicates the grade: Red, Canada A; Blue, Canada • B; Brown, Canada C; Black, Canada D. Canada A and B grades have four fat levels, with Al the leanest and A4 the highest proportion of fat. Consequently, trim on an Al or B1 carcass is less than on an A4 or B4 carcass. Retail cuts at "special" prices are another alternative to consider. In order to compare costs you must calculate the actual amount of meat you will get from a side and the price per pound you will pay for it. To help you do this, send for the, Agriculture Canada folder "Beef Cuts". It contains a handy chart giving the approximate yield from a Canada Al or B1 side.
