Location: Nebraska | I just saw on the news a couple days ago that a semi hauling beef from NE down to TX never made it to its destination. Maybe that's where the beef went! |

| I seriously cannot get over the price of beef right now in the stores. It just seems like it's getting harder and harder to keep afloat in this country. |

  That's White "Man" to You

| When I was in high school I worked for a tow truck company. There a semitruck loaded with oranges that had wrecked on the freeway. You should have seen all the people stopping to grab a bag of oranges from the wrecked truck! Seriously...for a bag of oranges?
ETA: sorry that probably seemed random, but that was in reply to the meat being stollen from the missing meat truck.

Oranges are high... especially those Cuties. They are almost 7 bucks for a 3 pound bag here. |

I told her that was strike one and two. Awww poor thing, hope you were not to hard on her  , I bet that guy will be back trying to sell more to her pretty soon.

Our BB Imaclown's dad bought around $1000 worth of beef from one of those guys. He handed them the money and when they went to the vehicle to get the beef the guys took off with his money. I haven't heard if he's found the guys or not.
I don't see imaclown posting here any more. I wonder how she is? I know she got caught in a mess on here awhile back. |

Location: MD | I'd rather buy beef from wal*mart than some guys truck. No idea if the meat is handled like it should, what's been done to it... I'm glad we have a Mennonite church a mile up the road and they sell meats and pies and dairy products fresh from their farms. That's something I sure don't feel guilty buying and eating!! SO YUMMY |

I see her at jackpots. She's had some changes in her life but she's doing good and looks amazing.  |

Location: Lone Star State | I had two guys come to my BACK door to sell their meat. It scared me to death and was thankful my mother was with me. I have a pasture of cows at my house and a feeder steer in the barn but I guess he wasn't very observant.
My parents bought some years ago and was horrible.

This makes me think of a story about my dad.
He was driving home from work one evening ( a very curvy and dangerous road ) when he saw a flatbed truck and trailer off in the ditch. He had (obviously) wrecked and damged the T posts he was transporting and they weren't of good enough quality anymore to sell at the MSRP, so he paid $1/each and bought as many as he could fit in the bed of his pickup.
I certainly wouldn't be buying any meat from a source that I didn't know. Sounds like a scam and t kinda makes me think about Jordan Belfort (The Wolf of Wall Street) first job (a scam)... Going around to houses telling people that the seafood he was selling was of restraunt quality and he didn't sell everything on his truck for that day and he could get people "really good prices for it". |

Location: Southwest Minnesota | We do have guys that sell the meat around here that are legitimate. However, last spring someone pulled in my yard in a cargo van with a deepfreeze in the back and was trying to sell me beef. I got a serious creepy vibe off this guy and told him just to get off my property. I even had a couple guys stop me when I was moving horses from my father-in-laws to my place. I was riding one bareback and ponying another...they stopped and asked me if I wanted to buy any beef...Seriously dude, where would you like me to put that?!?!? |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | I live in a small town in Ohio. Had them show up here twice. The second time they were VERY, VERY pushy and I became extremely uncomfortable. They left though with no incident but my husband was a councilman at the time. So "No Soliciting" signs went up around the town real quick after that. (I was not the only one that had an issue with them that day). He told me if they showed up again without proper paperwork to call the police.

It really is the best! Seems about every other year my parents will have a cripple that they'll feed out and keep a side and sell the other one.. I told them I want first rights to the other side. Those are some of the best burgers I've ever had. |
