Re: Unjustified prices; was Lamb and goat available in N. Cal

[Guest guest]

Oh, boy! Do they rip people off! A farmer I get raw goat milk from sells his

goat meat at between 2 and 3 dollars a pound (on a very small scale, though).

Compare that with Big Bluff Ranch's $9! Prices these bandits charge for

healthier food is one of big reasons why many people still buy factory

produced food.
