[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 19574, member: 60"] I raise a couple freezer beefs a year, they don't make any profit, but they pay for themselves and fill my own freezer as well. I'm in Nebraska and buy newborn calves at the salebarn, bottlefeed them, then raise them on up to butchering size. I do all the butchering around here, mainly rabbits and poultry, as well as wild game (deer & elk) and those 2 beefs yearly. Here in Nebraska, we have laws that allow me to butcher for people without being USDA inspected. I cannot sell butchered meat. But the law does allow me to sell the animal live and then butcher it (at a fee) for the purchaser. (Or to charge a fee to butcher wild game.) The purchaser has the right to have his/her animal butchered/processed by whomever they please. The thing is establishing the point of sale -- while it is not legal to just pull butchered meat out of the freezer and sell it, it is perfectly legal to discuss the deal with the purchaser (even over the phone), agree on the price, butcher the animal, then purchaser picks up butchered meat later and pays at that time. The initial discussion is the point of sale. I don't know about other areas, but around here there are lots of small processing plants that will custom butcher -- usually anyplace that advertises deer processing will custom butcher a beef. I've never had any problem at with getting buyers for the animals, I've never had to advertise -- people pull in off the highway to inquire about them. If I were to raise enough butcher animals to meet the demand, that would be all I'd have here! Ann B [/QUOTE]
