We're getting a 1/4 cow in a couple of weeks and we were told to call the butcher to tell him what I wanted.
Basically, we're looking at almost 200 lbs, but I was just estimating in thirds -- steaks, roasts, ground beef.
I've never dealt with a butcher before. The wife likes london broil steaks (lean), and I like ribeye (flavorful). Can I just ask for those cuts and ask for ground beef and roast for the rest or would I sound stupid asking for it?
Obviously I don't have to have ribeye and london broil, but I like fattier steaks while the wife wants a lean cut.
Advice is appreciated.
