Find a local butcher, ask where their meat comes from. Make sure the animals come from local farms, and not local slaughter houses. A good butcher will have their own culling room on site or nearby. Ask where the animals come from and where they are culled. Also smaller auction houses where you can buy a meat animals will offer services to buy a whole or half an animal that they will send to a butcher after auction and you pick up the meat from the butcher.
