This last week I forgot to order more beef and I didn't make it to the Saint Paul Farmer's Market for my eggs and meat. I really wanted a good roast so I went to my local grocery store to see if they had grass fed beef.I didn't find any so I asked for a grass fed beef roast. (Dr. Heidi taught us to ask for grass fed meats because if they see a demand for things they will at least try to add it, or maybe not....)
Our conversation went something like this:
Me: I'm looking for a grass-fed beef roast, do you have any?
Butcher: Sure we have some good roasts right here.
Me: Are those from grass fed cattle?
Butcher: Hmm, grass fed? I don't think you can feed grass to cows.
Me: Really? Well, they're ruminant animals, so I think that's what they're supposed to eat.
Butcher: I don't think so. They love corn. They need vitamins and minerals and stuff.
Me: No come back.... I was disappointed and surprised that an "expert" did not have a clue about what he was selling.
Butcher: Now this, he points down at large, marbled roast in meat case, this is corn-fed beef. It's the best tasting beef you can get because the cows ate corn, not grass.
Me: Yeah, well, um, thanks anyway.

So my question for you is this;
If you had a tooth ache would you go to a foot doctor? Of course not! So why do so many people buy meat from a meat counter instead of the rancher that raises his animals on grass?
The ranchers I buy from knows cows and the health benefit for cows and us when they eat grass.
They feed their families the same meat they sell me.
They are absolutely committed to the highest standards of quality and safety.
They don't use pesticides or herbicides on the pastures where cattle graze. They don't use additives or preservatives of any kind.
They never give growth hormones or feed-grade antibiotics to the animals.
They graze the animals on a rotating schedule so that they are always eating the freshest, lushest forage plants. This is also good for the land, since it ensures all forage plants times of rest between grazings.
They ensure that the animals always drink only clean, pure water.
They are dedicated to humane, free-range, stress-free animals.
The choice is still up to you but for me I'll support grass feeding farmers and ranchers because that's just the right thing, for me. I can't stand the thought of eating feed-lot meats and eggs knowing how these animals are abused. Not to forget - we are what we eat, so we are corn and other crap if we eat feed-lot animals.
