Joan --

I was referring to SFD selling its products to Wal-Mart's super centers. Grocery stores (Wal-Mart Super Centers are doing it -- so every store will be doing this to maximize square footage sales/profitability & to compete against Wal-Mart)are exiting the butcher shops and buying prepackaged pork. SFD is the low-cost producer and Wal-Mart is a key customer due to their desire for buying products at the lowest prices.

Wal-Mart is the reason I simply won't touch the other supermarket companies. Wal-Mart can't be touched on their distribution system, volume ordering, and cost efficiency.
