You should post some pictures, I'd like to see it.<br />BethKevin and Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027856468582004051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-82202098571481114682009-06-08T12:26:58.384-06:002009-06-08T12:26:58.384-06:00Wow, that seems like a really good price for the q...Wow, that seems like a really good price for the quality of meat you're getting!
