We still use the local butcher because they have always produced quality. I’ll call in my 4 bone, chuck end, trussed and frenched and it will be ready on the 22ndI’ve been told that Costco will still cut a primal, but I’ve never asked them to do that. I’ve settled for ordering from one of the mostly excellent online meat suppliers, but I still miss ordering exactly what I want from a butcher.
More expensive than Costco but I like supporting the local butcher and I like that the roast is cut and prepped specifically for me. After all, it’s a Christmas treat so I have zero issues paying a little extra when I know the guy produces quality.
