 >so now we have to import it from Canada at caviar prices.

Must be the cycle of life, as those of us on this side of the border 
were paying over a $100 a bottle in the 70's for Mid-Con's product. I 
remember bringing it back with the packages loads from California 
because it was "slightly" less (and only slightly) down there.  It 
wouldn't mix worth a crap into just about anything including plain water 
that wasn't at just the right temperature, that's why Medivet was 
approached to see if they could address both issues: price and 
handling.  They made it "a lot" easier to work with and as an added 
bonus brought the price down.

Supposedly anything we paid $100. for in 1970 is the same as paying 
$544. today, so I think we're doing pretty well, even at the $125CND/ 
bottle it's climbed to now .  The big difference is that the game has 
changed and we having to buy cases of it every season. Not their fault.
