Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Local farmers, meat?
I keep hearing rumors how many ranchers will need to start putting down animals as the processing plants are down. What a waste.
Anyone got a contact to ranchers able and willing to sell whole sides? I can't process the meat so this would need to be done by a butcher. Looking for a pick up from butcher service. Have 1/2 of an empty freezer, volume to be determined.
What kind of meat? I can give you information to someone that has pigs, and they're up north.

I'll post it, in case anyone else is looking up north. They have chickens, eggs, KuneKune hogs. Here's their facebook, and even if you don;t have FB, you should be able to see the contact information on the front page.If not, I'll copy and paste it here.

10-4 got it. Thanks
Beef is exact opposite... ranchers are slaughtering non-finished winter cattle for customers at small cutters so they can get ground beef because demand is so high. Worst time of year to slaughter, no fat and people are paying $8 a pound for ground. If the slaughter houses don't get back up and running is see this getting to be even more common.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
On craigslist, there is a pig farmer bringing in truck loads of fat hogs from Nebraska and selling them for $120 each. At the sale down here, fats are going for around .60 per pound. The nice thing about hogs is, you don't have to hang them for any length of time, as there is no benefit like beef. Bleed them out, skin them and process. If you mess up a cut on a roast, you just get a little more sausage. Our processors down here are booking in January now. It may be a benefit to find a friend who butchers their wild game and maybe trade half the meat for them to process the animal.
For COS, there is this recent article https://gazette.com/life/find-qualit...a43c8770c.html
Which curiously doesn't mention Andy's Meat Market on Platte or Ranch Foods Direct with their two locations.
I believe this is his FB page.
