We get all our beef from relatives that raise and finish them and it is considerably better than anything you can buy in the store. Most things in butcher shops sit in cooler and exposed to air too long for my tastes. One of the most important things with quality of beef is how it fed, carcass aging, and proper cutting in that order. The discussion on the Butcher Block vs grocery stores quality of meat is somewhat of a myth as chances are that they get it from the same supplier. There are four major boxed beef suppliers in the US which include Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National.
