Maybe you scared them off, with the 500 lb wording. You got to realize that, gas prices and the rising prices of all else, has got everybody broke. Many people can't afford to put 500 lbs of meat in the freezer, all in one wack.
Heck, alot of people can't afford to do something like that when the goings good (the way they live).

The last time I butchered one and put it all into hamburger (turned out to be really good hamburger by the way), I got rid of it all over time, but it took awhile. 10 lbs here, 50 lbs there, 20 lbs to somebody else. It eventually was all gone, but that's how I got it all sold. In the end, everybody that had gotten some, had returned a second time to get a few lbs more. Several people were involved. Nobody got more than 100 lbs total when it was all said and done. And only 1 or 2 got that much. And most of them weren't friends and family. Just people that I knew.

I had a large deep freeze that I wasn't using, and it was tied up with this hamburger for awhile. Not sure I'd of been able to make this work, had it not been for that. But heck, I wasn't going to eat 700+ lbs of hamburger, with just myself.

My brother ran into something similar with butcher hogs. His intentions was to sell some hogs to family friends. He kind of found out that very few family/friends were interested in a whole hog. Or even a half. The bulk of them he sold, was to people he didn't even know, by word of mouth and advertising.

Sadly, most of the society we live with today, if you need a lb of burger, you go to the store and buy a lb of burger. It's just how most people live today. It just is, what it is. Alot of people don't even have deep freezes.

Also, another caution. Just about anybody that I have ever known that has tried to peddle locker meat, has ran into problems with people wanting to get some meat and willing to take some, but DON'T have any money.Just about got to sell it with cash on the barrel head. No Exceptions. Friends and family, or not!! Don't believe me? Just try it by having some other policy.
