How far are you looking to drive to get a good product? Are you set on just grass-fed? Sometimes just buying the cuts you want is a better deal overall than going for a 1/4, 1/2, or whole beef. Beef prices are outrageous now for anything of quality and are probably going to go up from here. You also cannot tell how good of quality a beef will be just because of diet and such, there is many factors as to whether you are getting a good deal/quality or tough as nails and bland.
My family runs a slaughtering business and has won about every award you can think of in WV, including best steak and was even selected for representing WV on Food Network. It is too late to work a deal with them for quite a while since they are booked up months in advance, but they know everybody in the industry including folks closer to western VA, central/western MD, and WV pandhandle. They also know most of the meat inspectors and they are a good inside source on which places to avoid.
