About the caller who was trying to explain the problem with selling meat at farmer?s markets: You can only sell meat cuts that have been processed in Federally inspected slaughtering facilities. However, Oregon has state inspected facilities where you can have your own animal (whether farmed or hunted) processed for your own consumption. So a farmer can sell a consumer a whole live animal, which the consumer can then have slaughtered (directly on the farm where it was grown) and have it custom butchered. This is why the caller was trying to explain that small farmers could only sell whole animals and not cuts of meat.
