Where does your local butcher get their meat from?
I was just curious does your local butcher get their meat from the same place that your local food giant get their meat from?
Re: Where does your local butcher get their meat from?
We get our meat from local farms either through a retail store or the food co-op. It is not the same meat that my big-box store is selling.

I wish that we had a local butcher! We are limited to what the chain grocery store carries. We do have a small seafood market that brings in tasties from the gulf, on a few hours away.
Whatever won't sell for full price (frozen ears or tail, generally funny looking) ends up at my "local butcher" aka my parent's corrall followed by my parent's freezer. Supplemented freely with unlucky wild deer and deer-like creatures.
I can say with confidence that retail outlets do not source their meat where I do.

The butcher counter at my market spans the entire back wall of a large store, so there's lots of sources
The bulk of the beef and pork are not sustainably sourced, but they do carry Humboldt Grassfed and a little Niman Ranch pork. We found out they get a whole beef carcass delivered weekly, so we can call up and order whatever cuts we want. They only get the whole loin of the pork, so that is more limited.
They also carry sustainably/humanely raised local chicken and turkey, and supposedly veal and lamb although they do not advertise the source.
I don't know because they don't carry any grassfed products so we don't shop at the local butcher.
