I think they are an insult to Omaha. Average quality IMO. Not sure the price is excessive. I used to live in Omaha and worked in a supermarket. Best meat I have ever tasted was available there both in stores and restaurants. In recent years, have been able to get excellent meat from Costco and others locally, but none in my opinion as consistently good as Omaha. Since the 1960's cattle have not been driven or carried to only slaughter houses in major places like KC, Omaha, Chicago, and then fattened up there before slaughter. Instead, they have been carried to local feed lots across the country, just about everywhere to feed and slaughter more locally. Simpler and cheaper to ship the feed, than to drive or ship the cattle. Also, less damaging to the cattle. At one time Omaha was the largest railhead in the world, I am told.
