I usually buy roasts and cut off pieces as needed. Sometimes I buy steak
cuts but usually chuck. To save money I frequently point to their ground
beef and ask if the have any that has NOT been ground yet. I can usually
buy this at ground beef prices. I usually try to get extra fat.

Bacteria are everywhere. I feel that are bodies are supposed to be in
balance with their environment and that bacteria are part of it. To try
an artificially control bacteria probably does more harm to our bodies
internal balance that the bacteria would. So in this sense my answer is
yes.

I prefer it uncovered with the air allowed to circulate around it.
However I have gotten complaints from the people who I share the
refrigerator with so until I can get my own I store it covered.

It is not all pasture fed. That is not as available to me. I buy no
hormone, no antibiotic meat that has been had some grain feeding before
slaughter.
