Seems that California shows that a new movement is growing: consumers purchasing meat directly from the farmer. The increasing demand for better quality meat that is raised humanely and in a real pasture has attracted new followers. Read the following article:

Interesting article, thank you.

Just today I got an electronic flyer from a local restaurant (Trader Vic's) which advertized what it calls "Long Grass Beef". Basically beef that is allowed to feed naturally on praire grass and not much else. It didn't say anything about where it was butchered though.

We used to buy beef in small quantities from Omaha Steaks but stopped after a CI taste test declared it good but not worth the money.

I don't know if I could stretch to a 1/4 steer though. I'd be concerned about it loosing a lot of its qualities after 3 months in a residential freezer.
