You can look for 4-H fairs in some of the surrounding communities if you’re willing to drive a bit. My parents have been buying a steer from the county fair for years. There’s usually a recommended butcher that will work with the farm directly to process everything so you just have to go pick it up when it’s ready. It’s often cheaper than other methods because there’s an auction, so you can likely get meat for less than $2 per pound.

Wow -- this is a heckuva tip. Definitely points for originality.
