Which do you prefer, and at what fat content...I raise my own beef, and I prefer ground chuck at a 80/20 percent, I think it has better flavor and doesn't get dry like lower fat contents, sooo just curious how others like it, be it home raised or store bought...

I like it all, and buy different types of ground meat depending on what I'm making. Though I typically use ground chuck at 80/20 for most things, I do use ground sirloin for burgers. I would make my meatloaf with ground chuck (and pork). Soups, chili, spaghetti sauce all has ground chuck. I'll use ground beef in lasagna simply because it's cheaper.

I'd prefer Ground chuck. I buy the beef from the grocery store. To me, ground round is much to dry.

I prefer ground chuck. We have a small meat market here that I try to get to every other week. I like their ground chuck there.
I had planned on buying a steer from a 4-Her out at the county fair this year to have processed. The sale was last week end but I was to sick to make it. So maybe next year.

I buy what's on sale, but try to stay with 80/20. I got so mad the other day at the grocery, I told the meat man I was very offended! Most the larger chain stores (Kroger, Meijer, etc) are selling strictly certified black Angus. No offense to those of you who raise Angus, but I was raised on Holstein. So now what are Holstein farmers supposed to do? Those spotted bovines aren't just for milking, ya' know! My grandpa raised thousands of Holstein steers for over 70 years. We had raised one of our own, Sir Loin, and he was tasty. The last two we bought (Jersey's) both got lung infections and died. We haven't tried again. We are trying to eat more chicken anyway. I can keep those alive! lol.
