yeah... i told you guys
when i went out to the farmer to kill pig and cow
he was selling 200 lbs pig for $50  <<<<< that's dirt cheap even to ROCKBOY
the only reason why i didn't buy a pig too is becuz i got no room in my wife's SUV   

cow beef was dirty cheap too
i just got no room in my freezer
farmer was selling cattle for $400-800 depending on size and breed
even cheaper than before

gotta go to the farmer... he don't jack up the price
