Thanks for the link, Don. I've also hit most of the obstacles that 
Salatin has hit. I sell my (USDA butchered) pasture-raised beef in my 
farm stand. I called every state and federal agency I could think of to 
find out what I would have to do to sell it legally. No one could tell 
me, and kept referring me back to the agency that sent me to THAT 
agency. I finally gave up and just did it. I've been doing it for 4 
years, and still don't know if it's legal, but my customers sure like my 
beef. Don't ask, don't tell is my new motto.
