That's just sick. But, at least you're not eating our hard working immigrants, just middle aged white people. Still, it seems like something we ought to report to the police. I can't see middle age people of any colour consenting to ending up in your freezer.

I got a quote from one company Ground Grown Deliveries for 1.79/lb for 200lb for pork and 2.99lb for 200lb of beef. Are these good prices?

To get around government regs, buy a weaner pig or calf at a farm and have them raise it to your specs, butcher and wrap it yourself. Price would be good and the farmer wouldn't be breaking any laws. The other solution that a lot of people are using is to buy the cow or pig cut and wrapped and label it "Pet Food".

Is this meat inspected? That price is too good to be true. Maybe you're eating the evidence...

All animals see the vet before being sold.

I'm willing to pay a bit extra for "farm fresh"meat as aposed to grocery store meat because it tastes so much better,the stuff you grt at say Sobeys doesn't taste like meat at all,it doesn't even feel like meat.

I bought farm-raised chicken.
Aside from the fact that it tasted far better than store-bought, the bones were totally safe for my dogs to eat. Instead of sharp splinters, they broke into harmless bits. Kind of like glass in the windshield of your car, as opposed to your windows.

I hear you. Those free-range runners, not living off just grain, and getting
lots of exercise. Very nice...
That bit about the bones is interesting. I've never given my Dogs cooked
bird bones, as I just assume they'd break into sharp shards. I just never
wanted to take that chance.

Ron in Regina, not giving chicken bones to our dogs was never an issue in the old country, and I was totally astonished when I first encountered that restriction in Canada.
After I bought and cooked range-raised chicken, I tried to splinter the drumstick bone. I found no dangerous sharp-edged splinters. Quigley (my Chessie) and even Daisy (my lemon beagle) had great time with the bones. And, needless to say, they are still here and happy.

Interesting to know. My critters get bones from cattle, sheep, goats, deer, etc...
but always mammals. I've got so much tied up in love & time & money into them,
that I just never have given them bones from birds. I honestly don't know anyone
(other than yourself) that has ever given cooked bird bones to their dogs either.
Maybe it is a Canadian thing though. Snapping a cooked store-bought cooked
bird bone can be dangerous even to yourself. I guess, in hindsight, that they have
had chicken bones after they've come out of a slow-cooker, as those I could grind
up with my hands.

Ron in Regina, love for our pets is universal, has nothing to do with nationality or place of birth.
I fully complied with the Canadian conventional wisdom about chicken bones until I moved to Manitoba and thru a relative of my daughter I started to buy and cook farm/range-raised chickens. It was merely by coincidence that I discovered that bones of range-raised poultry break differently and safely.
My doggies tank me every time we eat chicken.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant the "not feeding chicken bones to dogs" thing might be a Canadian thing.

I think it might depend on the type of dog. The wolf that let us live with him for several years ate most of the chickens in the area.And the rabbits. Our other dog could not be trusted with cooked bones because of how he ate. I had a dog prior to them that was ok with chicken bones but then he also ate about a tree a week and that never hurt him for about ten years. Either a stick or a bone pierced his intestines and he had to be put down. At the time we could not afford an autopsy to find out which.
