USDA prime beef?

I'd like to buy USDA Prime beef in Connecticut. My contact at a wholesale provision company passed away so now I'm stuck with choice beef (eck).

Update:

My problem is... places such as Arnolds Meats in E. Longmeadow, MA. carry only choice. Any wholesale operations I've contacted sell prime only to finer restaurants and hotels. I need a place to buy prime as an unincorporated cunsumer.

Update 2:

I inquired at Omaha Steak -

Dear Omaha Steaks Customer,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Omaha Steaks carefully selects the finest naturally aged USDA choice grain-fed native Midwestern cattle, raised specifically for consumption.

We do receive a mixture of Choice and Prime, the majority being Choice.

    I think Omaha Beef is still in business.Way over priced though.Why not contact a local farmer and contract out a feeder calf (its the feed that makes it prime(good fat))

    You could trying to find a local meet market. Or if one is near by. I always buy my meat when I go back home. I usually do not like the beef in the grocery stores where I live. Where I grew up was better.

    Ask a distributor, like Sysco or Gordon Food Service. They all use wholesalers, with all grades of beef. They can tell you who they use there in CT

    I have not noticed the diference between the two myself but believe that Prime is suppose to be the best.
