If you’ve seen the movie Food Inc. I don’t have to convince you of the importance of only eating grass fed beef.  Our friends at CrossFit Oakland periodically participate in a cow co-op from Prather Ranch.  An entire cow is purchased, broken down, and vacuum sealed.  Each person who would like to participate purchases a 40lb. box of meat for $231.  About half of the meat is ground beef, the other half contains cuts such as the new york strip, filet mignon, ribeye, sirloin, skirt steak, flank steak, etc.  Do the math and you’ll see it comes out to about $5.79/lb.  This is a great price even if it was conventional beef!  Check Whole Foods and you’ll see grass fed beef is much MUCH more expensive!  Remember, beef that just says “organic”, or “free-range” doesn’t mean it’s grass fed, even if they feed the cows organic corn it’s still bad news for us and we should not be eating that stuff.  There are only a couple of more slots needed to fill the cow co-op order, which will be delivered on Wednesday of next week.  Often times if people are interested, but don’t want a full 40lb. box they split a box with another person.  If anyone is interested please let me know ASAP so that the order can be placed!  I’ve already placed an order for one box that I’ll be splitting with Aaron and CJ.

PR’s and Sweat Shop records continue to be broken:

Aaron:  Deadlift 495×1 (Sweat Shop record but not a PR for Aaron)
Helen:  Deadlift 200×3 (PR, Sweat Shop record, first female at the Sweat Shop to hit 200lbs.
Tammy: 500m Row 1:44.1 (PR, Sweat Shop record)
Nathan: 500m Row 1:25 (PR, Sweat Shop record)

Post props to comments as well as beef order.
