it--$450 sounds like a lot of money, but anelk is a big animal and
delicious.  You'd pay way more than that if you wentout and bought a steer.
And if you went to the supermarket to buy anequivalent amount of meat, you'd
be looking at 4 or 5 times the amount you'dpay for a steer on the hoof.  So
depending on how much your friend spent ontransportation, etc. he probably
came out pretty good on the cost per poundof meat, plus he had that
