Used to buy chicken from an outfit call Zaycon.
You’d place an order ahead of time and pick up your meat at a pre arranged local spot. Church parking lot or whatever.
Big reefer truck pulls up, cars lined up, drive through and show them your order invoice on your phone, they’d load you up and you drive away.
They did a bunch of chicken, ribs, bacon, etc….. They went tits up a few years ago. Not sure why. Seems like a hell of a business model in the time of the Cov-craziness.

There was an outfit named Future Beef that built state of the art beef processing plant in Arkansas City, Kansas in the early 2000s. They spent millions on top of millions and a lot of producers went in on the deal. It didn't make it but 2 or 3 years. I hope this deal goes better.
Edited: I looked and a Creekstone outfit now has Future Beef facilities and is handling high end Angus cattle and Duroc hogs.

I didn't realize how much beef was being imported until a few weeks ago ,

You can still try and buy from your local producer and go through a local locker. Almost every small slaughter facility within 150 miles of us is booked into September of 2022!!! Some are even farther out.

The reduction in efficiency that regulation implies is effing mind boggling. I hope I wasn’t unclear.....

We have a local producer that reached out to the UGA extension office and next thing you know they spearheaded the idea to build a processing facility on his property. Went from him having to drive long hours taking cattle to get processed, go back and pick it up, etc. Now I dont know what he charges others to have their animals processed by him or how all that works. but I'm sure a lot appreciate having someone close by to do this. https://ent.uga.edu/news/story/8684/Rocking-Chair-Ranch.html

I’d venture a guess that they went out of business, cause they were not making money.

For animal based COOL, it should be cradle-to-grave, not just the last 30-60-90 days to be "USA Produced". That's just my opinion as nothing more than a consumer. I have nothing to do with anything on the production side.
