702.0. "EMU's anyone?" by CSC32::S_WASKEWICZ () Fri Jun 26 1992 13:04

    
    Greetings,
    
         I'm looking into raising EMU's and would like to correspond with
    anyone in this wide world who has knowledge of them, knows the market
    conditions, breeders, etc.
    
    Looking forward to hearing from any of you,

    Well, I can tell you they're the most popular bird for crossword puzzle
    use.  Other than that, you're on your own!  :^) :^)

     Hi,
    
    I was at Southwick Zoo (Mendon, MAss)this weekend and they said EMU are
    very tame. They had some young ones there.
    
    Note 343 tells about a place you could contact about getting set up
    breeding.
    
    The attached note from Small animals talks about a guy in New
    Hampshire. I talked to him a few months ago and he gets a few magazines
    that are strictly about Ostrichs. I would think they also advertize
    Emus.
    
    Good luck

    I was at a Club auction last night and a 12 week old PBP (Pot Bellied Pig)
    was offered with a minimum of $375.  I talked to the guy that breeds
    them. He sells males for $500 and females for $750. This includes a
    halter and 50 lbs of food.
    
    PBP live 12-15 years
    weigh up to 40 lbs
    can easily be house trained.
    
    The Guys name is Nick Christo.

    I can't have any more pets, but they sure are cute little critters.
    
    How about an Ostrich for $2500.00  ?
