The old television story is simply not so if it ever was.
It is mass production.
The calf is born and raised to a certain size by one producer and then it is sold to another BUSINESS to be brought to final size. It is then sold again to the BUSINESS that will slaughter it, remove the guts and it is sold again as a side of beef.
You can buy a side of beef and cut it up yourself saving that cost but you will end up with a lot of meat that you may not want to eat. It is a lot of work and you will need a freezer in which to store it
