So been looking at the idea if getting half a side of beef and wanted to get some suggestions. I'm kind of in the middle of nowhere between Abilene and Odessa, north of San Angelo, South west of Lubbock.

I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions?

There is an inexpensive slaughterhouse and butcher shop in Cross Plains that does a good job. I'd get a slot with them or another shop, and set to finding a steer to buy.

Go ask a local rancher.

Check our Cross M Beef. https://crossmbeef.com  We bought a 1/4 beef from Cody a few months ago. He woudnt tell me how he finished his cattle, but the quality was top notch.  Flavor was better than what you buy at a big grocery store, even the Sirloin was well marbled.  

I grew up farming and ranching.  We always had a deep freeze full, so I'm kinda picky about my beef.  I can absolutely recommend Cross M

I don't have any specific suggestions, all the butchers around me will sell a side of beef, but you say "half a cow" in your thread title, and "half a side" in your OP, so which is it?  A side of beef is half a cow.

I own a ranch in Sweetwater, and lease grazing rights to a guy who runs cattle. I can ask him if you like.

I believe he sells at the auction house in Abilene, if I’m not mistaken.
