Country,

Possum for 40, popular for coal miner's weddings, and other large group entertaining is achieved in this way up here in PA:

Set out some bad meat from your freezer, wait several days. When first possum appears, shoot, leave to season. Next evening, 2 more will come to eat the first. Shoot them and leave to season. Next evening 6 will come to eat the first 3. Shoot these and leave to season. Next evening, 24 will come to eat first 12. Shoot them, douse with Cheap Canadian whiskey, and light pile on fire. When fire has gone out, and all hair has singed, skin possum and proceed with your recipe X 36. Up here, we find that at least 4 people out of 40 are adverse to eating possum, and so we cook a couple of groundhogs for them.

Over here there is a movement afoot to import a batch of possums. You see they don't exist in Europe and it seems that we are missing out on a festive delicacy that you over there all seem to enjoy in every form and recipe.
At present we in Brittany are the biggest chicken exporter to the world.
Doux, is the local exporter and although he is rather an unreachable sort of person, I would like to see if he would be possible to convert Marcel's 110 000 Chicken shed into a 200000 possum shed and get Doux to start processing for us.
Normally the chickens are frozen, but I am assured that it would be possible to supply them dried and conditioned, marinated in bottles or just straight canned.
What would be the best in Cub opinion.
As this looks to be a winner, I only want serious considered opinion.
A photo of a family of possums and your style of rearing sheds over there would be much appreciated to encourage Mr Doux to take on such a new and inovative venture.

No need for sheds they rear them selves. We had no possum on Staten Island till WWII. There was a large Army Hospital, Holloran General Hospital. Some of the down home boys got lonely for possum and the story goes relatives sent some and a few live ones got away and now we have possum a plenty. My uncle Ed hunted on the Island a lot as a kid and said he had never seen one till he got out of the Navy after the war so I feel the story is reliable. I have his old 30 40 Kraig and a couple of his old fishing lours..
