Beth, I have been getting my lard at Walmart. I got a small container to try, and liked the results so much I went back for a 3-lb tub of lard! It's not rendered leaf lard, I don't believe, but it works just fine for me. I read somewhere that if your lard has a faint meaty smell to it (which this does), it is the kind you should be using for best results. Works for me! (BTW, there's no meaty smell or taste to the finished crust or biscuits.)
