Beef fore quarter stretches your beef dollar today
Area home economist Ann H. Turnage advises using fore quarter cuts to save meat costs. High grade beef yields tenderness in lower grades, with proper cooking. Blade chuck roast and arm chuck roast come from the fore quarter, best cooked with moist heat, while rib roast and seven inch cuts offer good value and less shrinkage.
