But how many times have we been promised tastier meat

Not sure where you live or means but here is a suggestion.

Find a rancher (farmer) that is willing to sell you (or a group of people) a grass fed calf (half, quarter, whole) right off the cow. I usually charge folks 10% over market ring price. If you buy a 500 lb calf you will get about 200+ of meat that will keep in a freezer about a year and a half

Find an Angus or European type cross bred type. They usually have the better meat and marbling of the meat.

You will have to know a butcher/packer in the area to take it to for kill/butcher/wrapping. Have the butcher shop hang the meat for at least 2 weeks to let it go through rigor. The cost in our area to kill is $50 and to cut and wrap is $.35/lb.

The meat tastes like non you have never eaten. It does not have that greasy corn fat taste since it has never been subject to any corn product but only milk and grass. NO vaccines or steroids (important question to ask rancher). If you have never eaten it before it does take some getting use to but it is healthy and delicious.

I have people lined up to buy my calves. Several are cancer patients that doctors have recommended that they eat food that is guaranteed to not contain any type of other drugs

Yum, that sounds sooo good! Unfortunately, I live in California where flavor has been outlawed.
