Thread: The price of meat these days is a joke.

I seriously considered doing that, mostly with Samoan contacts as those guys are always honest, thankful for the opportunity and love meat. In the end it just seemed too much hassle dealing with the public and the regulations, needing people come look after the animals, then sorting out killing space and removal of waste. Selling animals to my mate down the road is far less hassle.
