Unfortunately, this is the only butcher within 30 miles of
me.  Guess I'm going to have to inherit 100 acres and grow,
kill and butcher my own.  Either that or - anyone know of
any paleo sustainable communities out there?  I'll pitch in
my share. (Exerpt from Lois' Song:  ... an' even though I
ain't got money, I'll gut yer sheep for ya honey... ;-)
