Cargill and Tyson are slaughterhouses and meet processors. Companies buy from them in large quantities. I don't know that a local butcher would buy his beef by the truck load. 40,000lbs+

When I lived in Iowa we bought sides of beef from a local farmer, then took them to a butcher.
Chest freezer.
Best ever.
