In Virginia, find the people you want to sell the lamb to (the meat) and take 
the live lambs to a small scale slaughter/butcher business.  They will kill, 
chill, and pack the lamb for a per pound price and your customer picks up the 
lamb there, paying you for the lamb and the other outfit for the processing.  
All on the up and up.
