Portland market owner Ed Carroll sold 3 600 pounds of horse meat in six hours attracting about 100 price conscious customers who waited in line as he closed early. Demand surges amid high beef prices with one supplier unable to meet orders. Carroll plans to reopen Wednesday. He notes ongoing export and supply issues and fears future shortages. He sources from Horsemeat Packers at Hubbard Oregon with most production going to pet food estimates. Joyce Becker among shoppers cites horse meat as cheaper and preferable for her family including a child who will not eat beef.
