No more of that in this house . We always had corn fed beef on our farm , cannot be beat .Sorry. [Reply]  [No Email]

Our butcher calves got alfalfa,silage, and lots of corn i.e.: premium feeds. We never medicated beyond what was needed if their was an issue. The grass hay out of the slews was not harvested or if it was it went to the horses. Venison out of IA was edible. TX brush fed deer are not worth eating. This "grass" fed beef here in TX tastes like crap. I guess it's what your perspective is. [Reply]  [No Email]

If they can sell it that way, more power to 'em. The problem with too many producers is they try to *tell* customers what they want instead of *sell* customers what they want! [Reply]  [No Email]

Outfit out here sells a lot of eggs by claiming they have better eggs because their hens are special and produce more omega 3, so they are "egg lands best". People have such a disconnect with ag that they fall for it, and will clean the shelf of them first, and they charge more for them! [Reply]  [No Email]

I heard on the news a week or so ago that omega 3 isn't all it's cracked up to be, according to some doctors. And, then, organic isn't necessarily better. And grass fed beef tastes better. And ocean fish are now radioactive, but Vietnamese fish are full of chemicals and farm raised cats are not. I guess I died from all the water I drank from the stream as a kid, all the bad pork and beef I consumed, not enough veggies and too much milk and eggs over the years and am just waiting to fall over. I guess I'll just go have another cheap barley pop and wait to drop on my azz. What's on sale this week, because I am not about to pay for any more of that high priced yuppie stuff----- [Reply]  [No Email]
