My brother had some livestock (pigs and bovines) that he’s looking to get butchered, but all the processors/butchers he’s called in the Tulsa area are booked up for the next year—so far, the earliest slaughter date he’s been able to find has been in the second half of July of next year. Apparently, Rick’s panicky talk of a meat shortage had succeeded in panicking people; according to one of the butchers, he thinks the Rona has caused a boatload of people to want to go back to the old ways, which has led to small processors being backlogged with orders.
It sounds like it’s a long shot, but do any of y’all know of any butchers/small processors who aren’t backlogged into next year?
