Instructions on how to post a photo. First, you need to load your photos onto a website. The most common site people use is PhotoBucket but there are plenty of other free sites around.
Once you've registered and uploaded your photos, if you're using Photo Bucket, find the picture you want to post. Under the photos are 3 boxes with addresses in them. Copy the address in the bottom box (IMG) and come back here and open a new (or existing) message and copy that address into the main window where you type your message. This 'code' is the same one you'd find in the EBCode legend at the bottom of the page. To add more than one photo, repeat the above steps. Only put one address per line.
Remember, if you are buying or selling stock, add your location and email address to your message so people know where you are!

If you want a reasonable chance at eating meat that has had a good life but you can't raise it yourself then lamb is probably your best bet. Mostly it isn't cost effective to raise lambs in feedlots, they do better out in a paddock eating grass. (Funny isn't it?)
The stuff to stay away from is anything that is promoted as being 'grain fed' (apart from chicken) as that translates as 'feedlot raised'. If you have a good butcher then he should be able to tell you if the animal was grass-fed or not. If he can't then it is probably worth going all the way up to the other end of town to the other butcher.
Supermarket meat is mostly raised in feedlots so that the diet can be controlled in the name of 'consistent quality', When supermarkets contract farmers to raise animals for them they specify the diet that the animals should be fed - that doesn't sound like free range to me.
OK that's enough ranting from me on the subject now.
