I realize that. I’m more looking to take some off the hands of someone who is having issues not someone who has the ability to easily sell to a retailer.
Can we buy directly from them and pay for shipping? If you can not store a half a cow, like most of us, maybe just cuts of meat instead. Refrigerated shipping?
If anyone figures this out let me know. I usually buy 1/2 cow every year from a small farmer about 3 hours away from me. I spoke with him the other day and being that he is small time (relatively) and not really a production farmer he isn’t having issues.
I’m open to buying 1/2 to a whole cow if it can be butchered for me. Grand scheme of things it isn’t much but I’d help if I knew how.
I buy most of my meats online from a site named Marx Foods.Don't know how to post link,sorry. have never been disapointed.
Appreciate the link. I’d be looking to help out some ranchers/farmers not necessarily a retail outlet.
Ranchers and farmers sell to retail outlets.

As an FYI the rule of thumb is
4 cb ft for 1/4 cow
8 cb ft for 1/2 cow
16 cb ft for whole cow
