    I bought one Wagyu from SRF and never will again, that $160 brisket had far more waste and wasn't any better than the $45 Primes from Costco, IMO. Totally turned off from that experience.

      you will have a hard time finding this type of marbling in a commodity prime packer. This is SRF black ~17lb. I get them through a friend at cost so it makes more financial sense to cook them as I get them around $2/lb more than what I pay for costco prime. These were hands down the best briskets I have prepped. Cooked on KBQ with maple and cherry, West Coast Offense special- inject with BPS cattle prod, rubbed with BPS Cash Cow and Simply Marvelous Peppered Cow

        Finished product. Not the best picture but the taste and tenderness was there... This one dried out a bit as i was at 6000ft elevation and it was held for 7 hours in Cambro.

        I've cooked bunches of Snake River Briskets. I agree with Mosca on black vs. gold. I most always caught a SRF sale and stocked up with 4-5 briskets. This year I've been using the Flora Butcher briskets, which cost about $100. Sometimes the judges love my brisket, sometimes not. It always hurts when you pay high dollar and end up with a goose egg. But, with that said, on any given Saturday at any contest, a Walmart Choice can win top honors. It all comes down to cooking skills and meat selection skill. A wonderfully marbled brisket can be found in select or choice, with flexibility in the raw. By flexibility, I judge that by ease of touching ends of the brisket long ways.
