    recently started dry aging beef for myself and looking to reduce costs by cutting out the butcher



    What would be the best way to go about this? go direct to a farmer or a small suplier? I am in portlaoise - any recomendations would be great for farmer or supplier localy



    I would be looking for prime ribeye on the bone with the fat cap on - 10-15 kg peices abot once a month - maybe a few smaller cuts for roasts too

    You could try a few of the processors. I know that as a farmer you can buy boxes of striploin or sirloin form a few processors rather than killing your own. Other than that try a wholesaler . It is unlikely a farmer unless doing farmers markets will be able to sell to you. Even if you do any farmer at that will sell will be charging a premium price especially on steak cuts as these sell the fastest.

    Your other option is to do a deal with a butcher but again river's are an easy selling cut at present
