Buy my beef and pork from local farmers and have it processed at a local butcher - always excellent. In fact, was just talking about getting a half.

Find out if you are tlaking live weight price or what?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I'd think by saying what a quarter/half/whole weight is around 200#/400#/800#, they're talking actual processed weight.

I buy local beef pork lamb and chicken. Plus the occasional duck rabbit or turkey. If possible buy individual cuts from some local farmers that participate in farmers markets. You'll get a chance that way to compare grain fed vs grass fed vs grass finished beef. IMO It's the only way to be sure you'll get what you like best.
