I wanna hug my butcher
Local butcher here still breaks down 4 or so sides of beef a week. I can get any cut my mind can think of. This is how get my 5-7 pound trimmed packers, he cuts them off the carcass. There's only 2 butchers I know of in this area that do this. The majority get all their beef pre cut in boxes.
They didn't have any mini packers today so the only brisket available was in a cryovac and 12 lbs. I didn't want one that large and didn't want to pay for the fat (don't know why the trimmed brisket from the carcass is the same cost per pound). Well they cut the toe side of the flat off for me and sold me the half with the point. They even trimmed some of the fat off the cap because I didn't want to pay for the waste. Places like this are getting hard to come across. Here's what I scored, 7 lbs of goodness. [/URL]

He would be my best Buddy, I cook for me and I wont touch a brisket less than 12lb after I trim it. I guess it's a Texas thang.

That is definitely a good butcher you have. Make sure he gets a nice Christmas card.

Not just a Texas thing. I prefer briskets that are around 15 lbs before trimming. O feel that they come out better and if I'm going to take the time to fire up the pit and cook I may as well make it worth my while. Leftover brisket has a lot of uses.

Nice service. What did you pay per lb for the extra knife work?

The price is high 3.99/lbs for cab. But that's normally 6 pounds of edible packer for 24 bucks, something I can afford to do and it doesn't take to long. I can hit eastern market but can't get a brisket that small anywhere else.

Each brisket is different, but probably around 13 lbs.

He butchers several sides a week. This is not his whole inventory. Cryovac primal cuts are available and are a fair price. In the case are roast and cuts not found at wallys or Meijer or rd.
