GreyGhost85 Report post Posted February 9, 2022 Does anyone have a good source in the east valley? It is getting harder and harder to find. Doesn’t seem like anyone wants to sell it and you just have to “know a guy” to get some. Only need about 10lbs or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuntHarder Report post Posted February 9, 2022 Winco on the westside of town is my source. I usually just ask the butcher, sometimes they have it ready to go, sometimes they have me go back the next day or later that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted February 9, 2022 My wife just asks the butcher at our Safeway. She usually has to wait a day or 2 to get 5-10lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted February 9, 2022 I just buy a really fatty ribeye roast from Costco and grind it up for my burger. I try to do 20-30% of game meat weight. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eastvalleyjerry Report post Posted February 11, 2022 I buy briskets when they are on sale and use the trimmings from that. I agree though, last time I tried asking for fat it was near impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
