Figured I'd ask here first. Looking for a whole to get butchered and packed. There is a rancher next to my property but haven't asked them yet. We bought one year or so ago but dont think they are doing it anymore. Any insight is appreciated.
My advice is to talk to the ag teachers in your area and find a kid looking to sell their steer project. I can assure you that you won’t buy the same quality animal or feed one as well as the kid has.
Buying a half from my brother in Weatherford. Supposed to be ready next week. Not sure if he has more available or not. I know he took 3 steers in last week.
I buy a quarter or half of a beef every year. A friend and I split it. He knows the crop farmer who raises enough grass fed beef for him, his family and a couple extra. He schedules the butcher and processing a year in advance and that’s when he wants to know what we want. The beef weight on the hoof is usually around 1000 lbs. and he times the processing in May usually. Pretty much like clockwork.
I don’t know much about it, but it doesn’t seem to be as easy as walking up to a farmer and buying a cow and taking it to the processor. It’s more like an organized and scheduled set of tasks.

i have plenty but you had better check into an appointment.
Thank You
Thanks all for the replies and advice. I will check into the processor local and see what timeframe they are on.
