  Kirt - do you think there is any danger of contamination since I live on the
East Coast of the U.S. and the meat would have to be shipped, maybe through
the heat or sitting in hot trucks or warehouses, taking several or more days
to arrive?  We have no source on the East Coast that I am aware of.     Thank
you!!!       ~~ Liza
