Re: [GZG] Shipping sheep

That would make for an interesting meat market. I'm not convinced that
mass transport of livestock (vs raising it on-site) is economically
viable, but I'm still running the numbers so I'm not sure. But if it
*IS* viable, then you get a weird case where livestock might be graded
based on where on the ship they were kept-- veal in low gravity or
even free-fall, and tougher cows in the high-grav area.
