At my local Costco, 90 miles away, one can buy a packer brisket or a brisket flat. What do they do with the points? My favorite part. Is this situation similar at other stores?

Grinding? If true, a lot of Burnt Ends are wasted! Perhaps it is time to speak to someone behind the meat counter.

I would assume they come in from the processing plant already butchered like that. I’m pretty sure they do as little actual butcher work on site. Not likely they break down animals or even primal cuts.

Just like I would like to find a place with very thick-cut Chuck Roasts.
I guess the optimal situation is to buy a dedicated freezer and buy the whole steer. Local butchers here will custom cut the carcass.
I would put a priority on roasts preserving the best thick steak up. Limit the ground beef to trimmings. Low and slow was utilized to make tough meat palatable. Does someone have a good smoking recipe for beef tongue and kidneys? Just kidding I think.

If you have access to a good local butcher they could probably get you anything you want with adequate notice and a thick wallet. Points, thick chuckles, whatever.

local access is good if I take a 1/2 steer or more. So it is freezer space.
