Favorite places to order meat...?

I've been lurking for a few weeks now... Wondering where you all order meat from (if/when you don't buy locally). Seems like SRF is the top choice for many, but there must be others that are just as good... Any one like Pat LaFrieda's stuff?

This has probably been discussed before but I haven't seen anything recently... Thanks!

    Snake River Farms and Creekstone Farms are both excellent in my book. I tend to lean toward Snake River Farms due to their participation here on the forum. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    I'm firmly in the SRF camp for briskets as I can appreciate the difference (and I am only in the black grade).  Their top flight steaks are excellent but I haven't gotten the same degree of clear separation from my local butcher's offerings for the $$.  Although as an infrequent treat their wagyu steak flights are worth a go.
    Now if you want to spend the $$ give this a look:  https://www.lobels.com  Never have purchased from there and never will but those who have had their meats speak extremely highly of them.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    Live high on the hog.

    Beef takes a backseat(aged even), and there are many grass/grain fed cattle grazing around here.

    Nick, and farms, are solid peeps.  Helped work their booth with the farm families, at the DSM Baconfest, the Mecca of all baconfests.  Tickets sell out in minutes.  Berkwood Farms are major sponsors every year, Bacoonride in DSM, in the summer too.

    Good farm families that grow one hell of a product.

    "Pork, the other white meat."  What a joke.
