Those make nice fish tanks as well! Being in Minnesota with all those lakes you should get on that! Ol man just bought a couple cows at the sale barn. One was supposed to be 8 months or so. She dropped one of his better calves of the year the next day in the middle of a monsoon. Some guys have all the luck.

Interesting I'd like to see the deer stand. They are everywhere here and often people give them away. At most $30-40 a piece.

For a lot of applications, make sure the ones you get are food grade....and can be cleaned out easily
With no residue.
