re: Dispelling Beef Misconceptions on the F&D board

Appreciate the effort and time it took to write this. A close friend of mine is a very large cattle rancher and produces a huge amount of beef master cattle. He says Walmart’s beef is handled, treated, and processed differently than the way most wholesale beef is. Is there any truth to that or is he just mad that they have more bargaining power and set their own prices?

Btw I always get crucified for saying buying prime brisket is pointless because you’re cooking it long enough to break down all of the fat and marbling. Am I a dumb arse? I’ve always had a lot of luck with my brisket and never buy anything other than what is on sale.
