I've got a meat market a couple miles from me that does the half a cow
processed however you want for your freezer thing. Problem is the cost
of power for a chest freezer would exceed any savings on the meat vs.
just getting it "fresh" as I need it from another market, based on how
long it would take a single guy to use up half a cow.
