Anyone here buy beef from a local farm?

A few years ago, my friends and I used to all split a whole cow. Two of us would split each half. We used to get a sheet showing the cuts where you'd specify what you wanted, how thick to cut the steaks, how much burger, etc. Worked out quite well as you got stuff from both the front/back.

Another thing to look into is farms that sell "shares". You get a quarter of the cow per share, but they give you a mix of cuts.

I now buy from a farmer who does all grass fed, for $4.50/lb, with no other fees.
