re: Grass fed beef

Some ranchers simply aren't candidates for wholly grass fed cows, at least until they work on grass quality.

It is very interesting, the history and relationship between ranchers and the consumers. Cattle back then were fatter all the while eating wild grown grasses. Then the nation took on its fat-phobic guidelines and the ranchers took notice. They started breeding leaner cattle. So now, the main lines of cattle we have only get fat on the corn.

There are groups out there that are trying to reverse this and go back to the old ways. My dream is to grab some land and have some of these more "old school" cattle" when I retire.
