Check local farms

[cleosdad]

Around us there a lot of farms that raise pig or dairy, they always have pig that don't meet sale requirements or cow that break a leg, if you are willing to work at it, you can butcher your own for less than 30-40 cents on the dollar. Steve

cleosdad,That's a good idea...In my neck of the woods there are a few farmers that butcher their own meat and you can usally get a half of hog or side of beef for about 50 to 60 cents per pound

got a Friend at work who raises beefers and when it comes time to butcher he sell whole/half /and 1/4 he always sell it all and it is a lot cheaper that way his prices are very reasonable
