Hmm, any skeletal muscle should do. Bunnies, cute, white, fluffy white
New Zealand bunnies are traditional because animal houses usually have a
surfeit of retired, fat, old animals, and it's good practice to take the
muscle when an animal is terminally bled for antisera.
It seems a waste of prime steak to make actin from it. :))
You could use beef heart[0] I guess, but then you'd get smooth muscle
actin . . .

(who is intrigued - why do you want grams of G-actin?)
