I think maybe it's referring to small farms. My family used to own cattle and would process one every few years. I used to get meat from local butchers who used local cows (until I found bullet shrapnel... surprise). Also beefalo are usually small farm vs factory as they aren't really easy to maintain in small cramped environments.
