re: Freezer Beef... I'm looking to fill my freezer

My father and I have sent a calf of our own to the butcher twice and by the time you feed it, pay for the butcher, plus give up what you could have sold it for at auction, you spend way more than what you could buy it for at the grocery store. Also, you end up with a lot less steaks than you wanted and more hamburger and roast than you can eat before it freezer burns. Mass production can make things cheaper than you can 90% of the time and beef is no exception. Don't do it.
