Jean-Claude!!!  Welcome back....  Thanks for the wealth of info.  No
apologies necessary for a well thought out post.  Much more than I
expected.....  I'm working on a couple of farmers about an hour from me for
great grass fed animals....  Oliva

.
The farmer who supply me with highland cattle beef is  doing grass fed only
for me and so i have to buy the whole animal . I resale  the part that i
can't process ( drying ) to others grass fed passionates living in the
nearby cities ( vancouver and victoria  ).
If you live in this aera contact me so we can keep the ball rolling .
For lambs it is the same thing,  i have to work hard to convince the farmer
to sale to me .( once a year ).

A long answer for a very complexe issue .Sorry!
