Wow. That's a little bigger than the 110 pound doe whitetails down here. Our bucks average around 150-160

Mark, do you know what it costs to ship a box of meat? Granted, I could cook it like I cook and just staple an address and a couple stamps on a steak and it would be just fine not even wrapped. That's why it goes to Kimmies house.
Yes I do. We've gotten those "Omaha Steaks" before. I'm sure those "Montana steaks" cost more, but are worth it. My kid's in Colorado and said can't even bring it on the plane. Have to drag mom out west he says. Some day....Kimmies house, that's funny, her room is on the other side of the house, just past her brother's....
Guess we will have to settle for tradin' for some of those snack sticks and jerky then ;)
man i wished you lived around the block, you wouldnt get shed of me
I had a customer that used to send us a box of Omaha steaks every time he ordered wood from me. He was a big wig with the company so I assume he got a healthy discount (if not free). I appreciated his kindness immensely and we always ate all the meat, but it wasn't any better than what we buy from our neighbor and frankly her beef is markedly better than the Omaha. I assume once upon a time Omaha steaks really were better quality than you could get locally but I'll put our local beef up against just about anything except Kobe or Argentinian but I haven't had either of those so I don't know personally.
Elk is in a whole different category though and even though I have never had it, I have friends that have and they all say it is a better meat than beef so I believe it.

Kobe beef....
ooooooooommmmmmmmmmm.....yummy.

I've had both Kobe and Wagyu. Both are a religious experience to me. A Wagyu filet is to die for. Prepared by the right chef I bet Elk is just as good. Elk jerky is like any other jerky - it depends on the chef. The spices and the timing are reflected in the end product. Its kind of like @Bigdrowdy1 Rodney's venison sausage. Most of the folks who make their own sausage or jerky and put it out there publicly are in a class of their own anyway.
I would probably trade my right arm for a supply of Elk jerky. Haven't had it in years but still remember it fondly.

I see lots of jerky and smoked sausage hanging there!!!
Well, knowing that real Kobe beef/cattle imports were banned years ago I knew that restaurants that advertised Kobe beef were lying; I remember the big 20/20 expose or whatever "investigative" outfit had done it. But because of this thread I decided to look and see if any changes have occurred. According to the article below it has - Kobe imports have been allowed since 2012 but only extremely small numbers have made it over here (see article for the many reasons why). So chances are, that 3-digit $$$ steak on the menu labeled as Kobe or Wagyu is almost certainly not - and before late 2012 into 2013 it positively 100% was not one.
Here's the article.

The "Wagyu" beef that I had was given to me by the last ranch that I worked for that at one time raised Wagyu beef and Piedmontese beef, if that's the same animal I don't even know. All that they raise now are piedmontese. I heard rumors that they were the same, that they were cross-bred and several others. I do know that he had oriental clients that flew in once every year or so to do business. That was on the Brewer Ranch out of Forsyth Montana, AKA the Keven Brewer Ranch.
What ever it was though, it was friggin' good.

I've only had Wagyu at Cut in Las Vegas. It comes from Snake River Farms which is somewhere in the Northwest - not sure where so its not imported but I really can't imaging it being any better if it were. Its a meal that I get every single year when I go there. I never thought I would like the roasted bone marrow but tried it this year and all I can say is holy crap - I've been missing out for years...
Just reading about beef, meat, and various flavors of awesome while looking over at shepherd dog icons is creepy. Like some kids movie twisted. No offence meant to Scott and Kevin. Maybe I'm just used to dogs getting horse meat, chicken and liver. You know, the stuff I'll be living on when social security doesn't cut it....
Scott, did you go to the Festival of Wood at Grey Towers in Milford?

No offense taken Mark. Actually dog tastes pretty good. It tastes sort of like cat but a little more greasy so it goes down a little easier without having to waste your beer washing it down. Now you want to talk good eating I hear chilled monkey brain is very tasty. I wonder if ape brain would do in a pinch . . . . .
That's icky
We used to tell the kids they were having monkey brains for dinner.
That's an icky thing for a parent to do. I should report you to CPS.
