Thanks Ricky, Very nice of you.
Let me try to get them at the local BBS first. Then if I could not find it, I will ask for your favor.

I don't think I have ever seen Big Beef on a seed rack.

McKenzie Seeds has it as a standard rack offering. They are a CDN company, so not sure if they make it into the USofA.

Big Beef is not a Burpee product. It is sold by others like Ferry Morse, Ed Hume.
I don't know who is the owner of patent.

Big Beef was bred at Seminis/PetoSeed (now owned by Monsanto) by Colen Wyatt.

I bought a Ferry~Morse pack of Big Boy this year. They're always here in spring/summer at the local Walmart.
