Buying half a cow

[Guest guest]

There were several posts from people who have bought half a cow. How

do you go about doing this? How do you find people who sell? How much

does something like that cost? (I'm sure it is different depending

upon what kind of cow you get etc, but right now, I have NO IDEA so I

just want to hear how much poople have paid.) Do they butcher it too

or you have to take the beef from them and allocate your own butcher?

Is it much cheaper than buying smaller amounts from beef markets? HOw

can you prevent you from getting tough meat or you are at their mercy?

Any explanation is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ami
