Beef fat. Truly delicious and very cheap.

Ahhh... But not in USA. It will be full of "get fatter" hormones(?)

I am not sure organically grown beef fat is available, or as cheep.

Where I live, where it is illegal to feed grow drugs to cattle, I do a lot of cooking with beef fat.

You could try bison fat, although I believe bison are, on average, less fatty than other cattle. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) forbids the use of hormones and antibiotics in farm-raised bison:

Q: Can hormones and antibiotics be used in bison raising?

A: Antibiotics and growth hormones are not given to bison.
