I'll agree with ya, that 13 dollars for a steak as small and as tough as you say it was from the store is too high. As for the reputable butcher you got a bad half from, I'm not buying the reputable part. If a dog won't eat it, thats pretty bad. A reputable butcher don't do that. I don't give a $h1t if you did get some good meat from him other times, they don't do that. And what you said don't make no sense. In your original post you said we cut and wrapped it for the winter. You said we, I don't know who else was involved, but that means you cut and wrapped a half of beef you got from a butcher. That don't sound like a legit deal from a reputable butcher or slaughter house to me. Oh here, let me back up to your door here and throw a half of beef in the back of my truck, and I'll cut it up and package it when I get home. I'm not buying it. No butcher shop or slaughter house thats reputable would even consider that. I don't think your telling the whole story on that. No farmer gets grocery store prices. Dairy, pork, poultry, whatever. About half the cost of beef and pork is the processing and about half the cost allows for the actual meat. The grocery store guy and any middle man is also going to get a cut (another mark up). Your not going to run a grocery store and have the meat department operate for free for other guys like you are ya??? As for the injecting water and crap, thats wrong but its not just a beef problem, they do it to pork, poulry, sea food and everything else. Sounds like your eating all that other stuff too, so lets not just isolate that problem on beef alone. Cattle numbers really are down. Fill free to research it yourself. Feeder cattle market last week broke the all time record high 2 days in a row the end of last week. Didn't catch the market today. This money all goes back to the farmer. No processing plant or grocery store owner sees a dime of that money. Sure, the farmers aren't getting every dollar spent at the check out counter, but they are getting really good money out of cattle right now. Resarch that for yourself too!!! I'm sorry you have gotten some low quality meat. I don't know where you shop but if I was you I'd start shopping where they carried better quality meat. I'd recommend nothing but USDA Choice for you. No low grade crap cause it sounds like you've had enough of dog food quality. I feel kinda stupid telling you all this. It just irk's me when someone rants about the price, and don't even research it out to know why. I'm truely sorry about your misfortune of really low quality meat though. Shop elsewhere. Find a place that has good meat. Not just beef, but everything. If they'll carry bad beef, they are likely to carry other bad meats as well.
