Yeah it's frustrating, if you want high quality, humanely raised beef in this country, you've really got to pay a premium, which I do as well. And amen to to buying a local half cow or pig. I've done both and my goodness, the quality of the meat is incredible, plus you're helping out a local farmer.
I am fortunate in that a local, independent butcher shop gets all of it's beef from a small farm in the northwest corner of my state and it's all grass fed. But woooo doggies is it expensive. Around $30 a pound for a porterhouse. I am fortunate enough to be in a position in life where that's affordable.
lol and I laughed at your last comment. I have the space and conditions for a few cattle but they'd never ever be slaughtered. My son and wife would name them within the first two days and then it's all over after that.
