I've done this for years. 1/2 beef & 1/2 hog annually. Sadly, one year, Dad is going to call to call it quits and I have to find a new farmer(s). I think he has 1 whole cow left, but it's a drive and stay for me at my parents/visit with friends and the goddaughter, where it would be a haul for you (3 1/2 hours to, then back)
Next time let us know maybe some if us want in on the meat.
