Excuse this self-interested, plug, but if at all possible, make a connection with a local farmer/rancher who raises animals on grass, in fresh air. See where your meat comes from in person.

I've got a tiny beef herd and the few regular customers I have really keep me afloat. Have never discussed the coof with any of them, but even in this area overloaded with narrative believers, I know we agree on raising meat humanely rather than "efficiently."
