Buy from a local rancher instead!
We've lost 44% of our ranchers since 1980. The ranchers that are left are barely breaking even while working a second job. Their children will not want to ranch after watching their parents struggle like this against mega corporations.
Fair market price today would be $8.31 a pound. If you're paying less than $6 per pound for hamburger it's definitely got "pink slime" meat treated with ammonia from a foreign source. The (((FDA))) removed the requirement for labeling meat with slime in it.
Walmart, Kroger, Cargill, Tyson, JBS, and others are buying the cheapest meat they can find and it's poison.

You are correct. Volume cant happen without large independent butcher facilities and rancher co-ops. Neither of which exist, thus the next best thing for the little guy is margin. Once local rancher networks and client bases are formed, they will have to collectively open a slaughter facility to allow volume
