I'm in the UK - but yes he's a registered 'pest controller' - he gets paid by local farmers to keep the invasive deer population low (muncjac and Chinese water deer), and is also licenced to sell the meat. You can get either a whole/half skinned and basically butchered deer from him, or any selected cuts, for £9 a kg - which pretty damn cheap really!

That is a fantastic deal for meat you can feel good about! I pay that much for pork at the big organic grocery chain in Germany (ebl) that I can only hope they’re telling the truth about, and far more for the occasional beef steak there.

I live in America. I buy half-beef from a farmer down the road. His cows are pastured all the time, grass-fed and grass-finished. It costs me $3.50/lb to do this and that includes dozens of steaks - all cuts and ground beef etc. are the same flat rate.

This isn't a special deal either, this is how the guy makes his living, along with some other farm products.

Link, please? Or at least a general area?

Grass-finished is really tough economically; corn results in an animal almost 3x the size.

The only grass-finished place I have is struggling no matter how much beef I eat :) I really need other places if it goes away.

What's "half-beef"?

[oaththrowaway]

It's where you buy half of a cow

And that right there is a solid moat

He gets paid twice - what a business!

Bait shop on one side, sushi shop on the other! As a friend likes to say.
