Anyone know ranchers that sell directly to individuals?

I am interested in this as well.
We have friends in Western Washington State that we buy pork and beef from directly, bit moving to the Idaho panhandle is gonna change that.
I don't trust the store-bought beef and pork.

"In calendar year 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of shipments containing prohibited pork, chicken, beef and duck products arriving from China intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agriculture specialists in Los Angeles, nearly doubled compared with the previous year," said Customs and Border Protection in a Feb. 19 post on its website.

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture further notes that China's livestock and fowl are afflicted with African Swine Fever (ASF), Classical Swine Fever (CSF), Newcastle Disease (ND), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and Swine Vesicular Disease (SVD), each of which can be deadly if consumed.


"From Jan. 1, to Dec. 31, 2020, CBP in Los Angeles issued 1,049 Emergency Action Notifications (EAN) compared to 527 in 2019, a 99 percent increase," the CBP notice said.

Buy your meat from a local source, even if it costs more.

 Check your neighborhood farmer market,  and believe it not.....check craigslist.

I found 2 good resources for beef down in Treasure Valley that way.

We get a lot of good quality meat from these folks:

I’m not sure where to get the info but 4H. Maybe call the fairgrounds or look up the club...

That's why we cook our meat

Potentially, are you looking to purchase an entire cow?

Of course that's why one cooks meat.
Nonetheless, it's better to start out with high quality locally produced and processed meat rather than diseased crap from China.

We typically buy a half cow and a whole hog every year.
But we're looking at purchasing more than that now as the family grows.

Let me talk to my parents and see what they are looking at selling this year.

If You only wanna buy a half, or there is some left over, I'd go in on it with You.

It ain't North Idaho, but I know a guy down around Melba. Not sure, but I think it's a custom raised kind of deal.

The Hughes Family used to have roadside signs advertising beef for sale on the Rathdrum prairie in the area of Idaho X Hayden Ave.  Been a few years though since I've seen the signs.
