I wasn't suggesting that everyone start labeling their items. I was passing
just passing on information I thought might be helpful.

We sell by the cut and each package has a unique animal ID on our beef,
veal, and lamb.

Rick I guess you sell one steer at a time. On a good acre of bell peppers we
get 1000 bushels of 50 count large peppers and 1000 bushels of 80 count
smalls, thats 130000 peppers that we would have to label by hand with those
little stickers and thats just one acre. Label machines start at $20000 and
up...Bob.
