If you call directly to the butcher they will surly have ranchers they work with a lot and you can just deal directly with them to bring in the animal/butcher it without one less step.

One warning for anyone thinking of this though, once you've bought locally raised meat and had it locally butchered, you're going to have a really hard time going back to store bought. A store bought XXX cut maybe fine by itself, but cook the same cut up with your local one at the same time and you'll be BLOWN away by the difference in quality.
