You can compare all you want up and down who does what this and that, but it really comes down the critter.
We've butchered critters we owned, bucket calves and ones we kept back for butchering thinking we were money ahead, but we started getting premium critters on a no hormone diet from the feedlot...son of a bitch. The difference is night and day.
That's not to say a butcher can't FUBAR a good critter, but if the butcher is proficient, the critter is pretty much the deciding factor on a good cut of meat.
Now, walmart and the like, virtually never get good critters, so there's that, but if you are looking at a butcher, determining the source of the meat is probably the defining factor.
