Hi,
the answer to this question is a categoric NO! There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, when a cow is killed, it is not eaten straight away but is hung, sometimes for up to four weeks, but always for a minimum of two. The meat tenderises during this period and any meat cooked straight after death would be sent back for being too tough. NOT what you want, I'm sure.
On a practical level, of course, how much would you be prepared to pay for a 1lb piece of steak? If a cow weighs, say 1200lb before death are you prepared to pay, say $2,500 for your piece of (rather tough) steak, and maybe the same again for a similar piece from another animal because your dining companion perhaps wanted a steak from a brown/white/black cow?
The present system of butchers/wholesalers/ etc., is in place primarily because it works on so many levels. The restaurant can select prime cuts of meat for its various dishes without having to pay for all the other cuts that don't cook quickly and tenderly (Stewing beef, shin, neck end, etc. etc.)
Still on a practical level...how long would you be prepared to wait while a restaurant first killed, then cut the piece you wished to eat, then cleaned away all the blood, all the faeces, etc. (I think you get the idea now that it isn't practical)
Of course, it is entirely possible and practical to have smaller animals/fish/birds killed and cooked to order many restaurants already do this, and very successfully.
Nice question, though, have a great life.
Cheers,

The Cow Restaurant

A friend of mine family has a farm here in Australia, they breed cattle for selling. They eat fresh cow meat on the farm and take steaks home because they live in the city. The taste is unbelievable. It is the ultimate taste you will ever get. Once you have tried cows meat direct from the farmers you will not want to go back to the supermarket and butcher again to buy your steaks.
I suggest contact farmers in your area and see if there is a restaurant set up in this manner, or if you can go to the farm and try a couple of steaks, obviously you will tell them that you will pay what ever it costs.

If you are a fan of science fiction, there IS a place like that. It's called Milliways, also known as the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, as described by Douglas Adams (r.i.p) in his Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
At the resurant, Arthur Dent is greeted by the Special of the Day, a cow that cheerily describes how she's been force-feeding herself grain to make her steaks more juicy. The cow excuses herself with a happy, "I'll now go and shoot myself. Enjoy your meal!" Of course, Arthur Dent is completely put off by this and orders a green salad instead.

Is this a trick question!? I have never heard of that before, I'll have to do some research................................. Okay, I searched the web briefly but found nothing of a restaurant where you can buy a cow to eat it. However, If one were a butcher he/she could choose the cow to cut it's meats from.

One of these guys is right. The meat needs time for the enzymes to react and start breaking down the muscles (which is what you eat for steak). Otherwise it woudl be very tuff.
However, you can get fresh burgers and check out a cool concept by going to heart attack grill www.heartattackgrill.com

Go into farming (or ranching, whatever). You can raise a cow and have it butchered and get the whole thing to eat. - I hear pigs are actually better for this.

I don't think so. Generally you would want to age beef a bit, and you can't eat an entire cow.
Now when the beef market was REALLY bad years ago, I heard of a farmer who opened his ranch to hunting and it saved his business.

its a very logical question, afterall they do it with fishes! But how do you eat a whole cow, you need to bring a crowd!
