<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 30, 2010) Tonight, local beef, lamb, and pork farmers are gathering at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Canton to discuss a problem that they’re happy to have.  Increased interest in local grass-fed and free range meat has created a shortage of slaughterhouses in the North Country and across the Northeast.  There are only three USDA-certified abattoirs in northern New York, two in St. Lawrence County and one near Saratoga Springs.  As David Sommerstein reports, meat processors see a big opportunity and a big risk.The Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County is hosting a meeting tonight at 7 to discuss the shortage of slaughterhouse facilities in the region.One note to this story: bison farmer Dale Healey is retiring, but he says it had nothing to do with the slaughterhouse shortage.

<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 1, 2004) Even if you didn&apos;t grow up on a farm… springtime seems to bring with it thoughts of baby chicks and spring lambs. Maybe it was those cardboard cutouts on the bulletin board in grade school. But it&apos;s not as common to find sheep on the farm today. Farming is different. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium&apos;s Lester Graham found some spring lambs, and a man who still thinks sheep have a place on the farm.
