Hey all, in Iowa and looking at CSA custom exempt butchering. Was wondering if anyone had input on the following.
With a CSA, can we fractionalize or put shares on an entire herd of cattle on one farm for ownership purposes?Example: We sell shares for a x$ amount which is worth x $amount of the herd or we sell fractions which is worth x$ amount of the herd. That way, a person basically owns part of the whole herd not just one animal. Can they then technically come in and pick and choose when and what they recieve up to the amount their share or fraction of the herd ownership is worth? And we could then mix and match cuts (we would still have each cut labeled with what animal it came from for record purposes) from animals to complete their share or fraction.
IE someone buys a 1/32nd of the yearly herd Slaughter which is 100 cows. If we Slaughter business monthly, they could come in whenever to pick up their share. Whether it's 10lbs here or there.
Also with a CSA could we not divide by packaged weight since the members would/could technically own a % of the actual facility itself which would put it in the realm of self butchering?
Not sure if I'm explaining it good or not.
