I buy mine at Smart & Final here in the Bay Area. You have several stores in the
Sacto area. They have had them there "almost" every time I've wanted one--cryo
packed.

However, if they don't have them in the meat case, good luck trying to get one
out of the back. They apparently get meat by the truckload, and won't go looking
for a particular cut. At least the Smart & Final I shop at won't.

As an aside, I went to my local Safeway once and asked the butcher if they had a
brisket in a packer's cut. The "butcher" just looked at me as if I had asked him
for zebra meat.
