Actually until recently I have only ever sold my animals at auction or through private sales barring a few chickens. My uncle is a butcher and him and my aunt and cousin hunt and have an acreage so we have typically just gotten our meat off of them. We still have some pork sharing space with the mutton in our second freezer from the whole hog we purchased a year ago.
We really do not have the room to freeze a whole cow at present.
