I saw extensive video of cows being trapped, abused and tortured. Cows that died of natural causes being loaded on to a truck and taken to the local plant. Ground beef isnt necessarily all from freshly killed cows. And the way the animals were being treated and how they were being killed was atrocious.
I dont have to explain to you the rules of kosher butcher since you know and fell off the wagon as you put it... but if Im going to eat meat, I would prefer it to be fresh and know that the animal wasnt abused just because its a cow and felt no pain in death.
Im a hippy, buy I like my steak so this seems to be the best solution... if I can ever find any!
