A city girl myself we always had a freezer full of farm raised beef. We bought a half of a cow yearly when we could afford it because we knew how it was raised and the quality it would attest too!
Scott and I married young and were green so it was much easier to sell calves and make back our initial Investment money than to hold one back for your own freezer.
The beef lovers that we are took the opportunity over the last few years to cull and groom some stock of our own for our table. Why?? Because each calf we raise is fed with quality hay and all natural feed. I don't just have the title of farmer but as mother too. I know exactly what goes in and out of each cow and what to expect when my husband brings the beef home.
My advice....don't gripe about your local stores and gossip over the latest news on meat. The medias job is to publicize news true or not for a thrill and a public rise. Find a local trusted farmer who KNOWS what they GROW! Or GROW It YOURSELF! To many use their mouth to try to solve an issue finding that they have only paralyzed their hands at fixing it.....time wasted and energy.
Along with our farm raised beef we raise home grown veggies (salsa too) and chickens for organic style eggs!
