Consider alternatives before beef purchase
I f you are thinking about stocking
the freezer with beef, consider these
points, suggests Tod H a m ilto n ,
M ultn om ah C ou nty Extension
agent.
I f you prefer chuch roasts and
hamburger to steaks, a front quarter
is the best buy. It costs less per
pound that a hind quarter. But if
roasts and steaks are desired, the
hindquarter may be the better buy.
A side o f beef includes the entire
range o f tender and less tender cuts.
A whole beef carcass weighs bet
ween 500 and 800 pounds, a side 250
to 400 pounds But this is not all
usable beef. It includes fat and bone
that will be trimmed away before the
beef is wrapped. The price quoted by
the supplier is based on the carcass
weight. So i f the price per pound
seems low, remember it includes a
certain amount o f waste.
The yield grade system established
by the U.S. Departm ent o f
First determine how much your
freezer will hold. Each cubic foot o f
freezer space w ill store 35 to 45
pounds o f frozen food. Obviously,
you don’t want to buy more meat
than you have freezer space for.
Then consider yo ur fa m ily ’ s
preferences for various beef cuts. I f
everyone tends to favor certain cuts,
you may want to lim it your buying to
those cuts. Purchasing them when
they are on special at the super
market may save more money than
buying a quarter or side o f beef.

Sunny Seafood brightens meal
It’ s time to use imagination, revise menu plans and try something different.
I f you are easting about for new ideas - try fish! Fishery products are good to
eat, good for you, and there are countless ways to prepare and enjoy the boun
ties from the sea or fresh water. Stop at the market today; you’ ll probably be
amazed at the wide variety o f seafood styles that are availble, either frozen or
fresh.
Reel in a couple o f pounds o f fish fillets for dinner tonight. Fish fillets are the
tender sides o f the fish cut lengthwise away from the backbone, and they are
ready to use. There is practically no waste in fish fillets, so you really get your
money’ s worth. Many varieties o f fish are plentiful and fillets cut from these
fish w ill be lower in cost than the scarcer species.
Choose your favorite variety o f thick fish fillets and prepare them in the
following recipe. Sunny Seafood. Haddock, cod or halibut produce thick fish
fillets and any o f these varieties may be used in this tasty entree. Sunny Seafood
is so easy to prepare; just roll the fillets in flour and place them in a greased
baking dish. Sunny-up the fillets with a mixture o f tangy-sweet orange juice,
salad o il, a touch o f tart lemon and a hint o f garlic, then bake u n till
flaky.About a half hour baking time is all that’s needed, just enough time for
you to prpare the rest o f the feast. You’ ll be fishing for compliments without
straining the budget with this dish. Be assured that you’ ll reel them in too, as
your family enjoys this year-round-good, change-of-pace seafood entree.
Sunny Seafood
Agriculture helps consumers get an
idea o f how much usable beef they
are getting. Yield grades arc in
dicated by numbers I through 5. A
yield grade I carcass gives the highest
percentage o f usable beef, roughly 82
per cent. A yield grade 5 has the
least; about 64 per cent usable beef.
To figure the cost per pound o f
usable beef, add the total cost o f the
carcass, side or quarter plus any ex
tra charge for cutting and wrapping.
Divide this sum by the estimated our
actual pounds o f usable beef.

I f for any reason your freezer goes
o ff, either because o f a power outage
or mechanical trouble, try to keep
the door shut u n til it is w orking
properly again.
Opening the refrigerator door lets
cold air out and the warm air in. If
on the other hand, your home is ex
ceedingly cold because o f the high
price o f fuel, you can disregard these
suggestions and put on your thermal
underwear instead!
