   I saw some reference to that about a month ago, but my grocery store seemed   
   to have a ton just now, and they're doing the usual advertising of cheapo   
   frozen ones for something like 30 cents a pound. Those take some lead time   
   to slaughter, process, freeze and ship, so I find it hard to believe if   
   they're getting them now that they hadn't worked out the supply details a   
   while before that.   
      
   I actually preordered one from a farmer at a nearby market for the first   
   time, and that was only about $1.99 a pound. Since they're local, I'm not   
   surprised I got confirmation that it will be ready for pickup in a few   
   days.
