Have you tried Impossible meat? It's really good. Even my enthusiastically meat-eating son loves it. It's cheaper than beef, but you can't buy a steak. It's just burger.

@Organist1 Not for me. I've just been eating chicken, pork mostly. They are both fairly cheap. Beef mostly went through the roof. I saw Turkeys 99¢ a pound. I think gas and diesel prices in the transport of cattle contribute to the rise in beef. Ranchers claim they aren't getting the windfall, ADM and Cargill are. I bought some top round pretty cheap and shoulder made a pot roast which I like. Can't justify paying $14 pound for ribeye tho. Shrimp is relatively reasonable anymore.

@barjoe Hasn't affected me, either, because I haven't eaten red meat since 1971. Unfortunately, fish prices have risen, and I eat a fair amoung of that. I get Imperfect Food delivered every 2 weeks. They have good deals on undersized chicken and surplus things. I guess if you shop around, the deals are still there. Colonial Meat Market is a great place to go for poultry.

There's a place out in Parkesburg that does butchering: Hershey's Market.

Thank you for that, I had' not even considered that and I would assume the risk could be even greater if the deer was horny?
