Our favorite butcher shop raises their own cattle. They’re rather pricey, but not “grass fed” nonsense, so we usually only buy hamburger from them. But at least they don’t put mystery meat in their hamburger. I think I’ll run up the idea to our tiny congregation of raising a couple of head of cattle. (Not as a church, just as individuals within the church). Of course, we’d have to be sure of the calves we’d buy. Lots of small time cattle raising around here, tho.
Great idea. My daughter lives out in the country, bought a side of beef from local guy down the road. It was TERRIBLE. So whatever you do, do it right....whatever right is.
