Cowpooling in the west Florida area? (Tampa/St. Pete, Ocala, Crystal River) page

[brittanyk06]

If you live anywhere in the general area of Crystal River, FL (about 40 minutes from Weeki Wachi) from Tampa all the way to Ocala, I am willing to cowpool with you!

I would love to cowpool with some people in the area as I cannot afford or fit a whole quarter of a cow! XD

On Eat Wild, there are many suppliers of grass-fed beef for this area. When I get more people to chip in, I will start suggesting some places.

Anyone? Agh, it's so hard living in the middle of nowhere. XD

I live in Gainesville, but I doubt I even have room or the money for a cowshare. Im just a poor graduate student living month to month off stipend checks.

Hmm...that's alright. I am in a similar situation. Thanks for the reply anyway!

I'm a student in St. Pete. I might be interested. I looked around for a bit and wasn't able to find anything that wasn't way out there price wise, or grain finished. Let me know what you find.

The beef in this area is so expensive! The cheapest I've found was $6 per pound hanging weight, which ultimately turns out to be about $8 or even 9$ per pound when it's packaged.

If I could find someone around the Pensacola area to do this with, I'd be sooooo game. There is just no good meat around Pensacola FL.

I'm so sorry, I know what you mean by the term but I had this ridiculous mental image of a whole lot of people riding a cow . . . ROFLOL. I have a weird sense of humour!

you know Rivvin... one day when you're feelin' squirrely you should go get an ostrich egg from the farm near you ... I'm waiting for the day I can afford/get my hands on a couple of eggs to play with

I was watching Iron Chef America the other day and Jamie Oliver was the challenger. He used an ostrich egg in one of his recipes. They said that an ostrich egg was equal to approx. 20 standard chicken eggs and it had a slightly higher fat content. I would love to get my hands on some of those and make a giant omelet.
