There's a local food chain store.........Harps..... here in Arkansas that has a meat sale on Saturday. They had Tbones for 5.47 /lb and I was very skeptical but gave it a go. Might have been the best piece of meat (beef) I've had. One was actually a porterhouse instead of Tbone but they were both delicious. I'm a believer. I'm sure it was corn-fed too, not fattened on grass. Very happy with it.

I take it not all Mexican cattle are those goofy looking Corriente stuff. Look like their 75% bones

I picked out the best marbled cuts and went with it. I will go back.

I got a steak from Dollar Tree once. It was labeled product of Mexico. I cannot reccomend.

Store here sells Mexican beef. I can't say I see any difference between it and Select grade American beef.

Harps does have some good and cheap meat.

You're buying steaks at Dollar Tree? They don't even have a refrigerated section do they? How do you even know it was beef? Or even animal flesh for that matter.

"Select" is the lowest grade of beef that I am aware of that is sold at a typical grocery market, but is certainly just fine, particularly for certain dishes that don't call for marbled meat.

Hit and miss with that stuff.*I just buy choice at the meat locker now,I rather pay a little extra and KNOW Im getting tender quality.

I sort through the "choice" cuts looking for stuff that actually came from a prime animal (only 3% of US beef). I try to find those well marbled prime chucks and chuck-eyes; some of the best tasting steaks to be found. Can't always find them though.

Got these t bones in October for $ 3.99 a pound. They were great.

You bought alotta fat!

Yes, but that fat is all in the wrong place. It doesn't look like there is any marbling (fat) in the flesh. I'd cut those steaks up for stew meat. Still cheap beef though.

Fixed it for ya

Lmao!

When traveling in AZ years ago we visited several large dairy operations about 75 miles south of Pheniox. There were also many large steer feeding operations there. They were all feedingout Holstein steers from the large dairies and thousands that came over from Mexico from their dairies. They don't have the feed to feed out a lot of cattle. Interesting that they could get two crops of corn silage per year and 7 cuts of alfalfa. All irrigated so I don't know how the drought is impacting those farms now.

I have had beef in a lot of different states and countries and Mexican beef can be great.

As a proud, red-blooded, hardworking, AMERICAN cattleman and on behalf of American ranchers and beef growers throughout the fruited plain we respectfully offer you in trade to our counterparts south of the border. Should they accept, you will have access to all of the Mexican beef you desire. Perhaps, the fine Sandhills cattlemen will help you pack.
