If you have a chest freezer now is the time to put a half beef or whole hog into it. With the bigger processors shutting down a lot of farmers are selling the live animal directly to one or two customers and delivering it to a local butcher for custom processing. I just got offered a whole hog (live) at butchering weight for $75, processing is $45 and I fill out the cut sheet so I get the steaks and chops cut to the thickness I specify, and I can get bacon and ham done as well though there's an added charge for it.
