There are a couple slaughterhouses but most beef consumed on the island is from the mainland. There are no non-grass-fed local options. My understanding is that there just isn't enough land to "finish" the cattle so it's sent to the mainland for fattening up and slaughter. They actually fly a lot of the cattle to Canada.
