Good Lord.  No, we have no reason to get biopsies anywhere near that large.
An entirely different project and critter, but when we biopsied sheep a
month ago, the liver samples obtained were measured in mg---the dried
samples were little more than a dark stain on the bottom of the test tubes,
but the assays turned out fine (but CSU also has one of the finest
diagnostic labs in the country). :-)
