Feel good beef. Real or photo shopped?

I wonder how miserable these cattle are eating this every day. Wouldn't they have issues with bloat? I hope the link works.

Photo looks real enough.

I wouldn’t say PhotoShop...maybe false advertising. Those mixed greens would get expensive in a hurry when you buy in bulk.

That or they’ve got an impressive outfit with chopper and bagger.

They most likely have agreements with multiple grocery stores to pick up all of their outdated produce. I wanted to do that here and put it into compost, but our local store told me a pig farmer gets first dibs.

I'm surprised they didn't mention they polish and clearcoat their hooves too in that glowing report.

Photoshopped.

I see green pineapples in the mix and they do not get tossed until they are yellow/brown and your thumb goes thru.

that's great compared to what i saw on a farm report few years ago, they used one bobcat scope of chicken poop, one scoop of sawdust, mix it all together and fed it to the steers.

Photo shopped.
There's no shadows under their heads.

Usually the beef is served after I go through the salad bar.

Throw in some Taters and you would have a "Full Meal Deal" Dsmythe

They must have some arrangement with the several supermarket chain headquarters in the metro area.

They have a video of the same on their Facebook page. They are several miles west of the speedway it looks like, so race nights won?t upset the critters.

Anyone remember the fella raising hogs north of Las Vegas, he got all the left over food from the buffet limes at the casinos, mixed up the swill and fed his hogs. He was on ?Dirty Jobs? even.

Paul -- The fellow raising hogs north of Las Vegas also got all of the Ice Cream, Milk, Cream, Butter, and Cheese that had gone beyond their Expiration Dates from Anderson Dairy in Las Vegas. I know this for a fact as I have seen his trucks picking up the full dumpsters. I used to make weekly runs to Andersons to pick up 10 gallon cartons of Milk and 1 gallon tubs of Ice Cream for one of our local Casino's.

Was talking to the produce manager at our local Sam?s Club, and he said that they donated outdated produce to our local zoo. A lot better than throwing it away!

BarnyardEngineering · Oct 23, 2018

Not only is it disgusting and offensive to anyone who raises cattle, it's a prohibited ad on Craigslist anyway. Businesses should not be posting ads in the "by owner" section. Hopefully enough people will mark it prohibited so it gets removed.

Seems pork can pick up the flavors of what they eat.

Might have been some interesting tasting hams from his place!

Looks photoshopped to me. Notice that when a steer's head is in front of another steer you can see the hairs sticking up, but when it's in front of the salad it's a sharp line. That's a dead giveaway that they cut out the silage and replaced it with salad.

Ken Macfarlane · Oct 23, 2018

Used to drop all the unsellable produce from the fruit and veggie warehouse at local dairy. Potatoes had to go in a chopper but everything else was just dumped in for them. I didn't see it but they apparently loved old pumpkins best of all and would smash them apart with their feet.

I've heard milk fed pork is pretty good.

mint chocolate chip enhanced pork... maybe not...

DoubleO7 · Oct 23, 2018

(quoted from post at 12:15:57 10/23/18) I've heard milk fed pork is pretty good.

We always fed our freezer bound roaster chickens left over jersey milk. Let it curdle and they loved it.
Mighty tasty chickens were the rewards.

It is common in resort areas - Vegas for one - for the leftovers and food garbage from huge buffets to be trucked to feedlots and fed to cattle. Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe did an episode about it a few years ago. The cattle basically eat a diet of prepared human food and gain well. Not much different than Grandma "slopping" the hogs with table waste, except the waste from the casinos etc. fills huge trucks.

Local guy fed brewer's malt from the Olympia brewery to dairy cows back in the day, they milked very well on it. Sold out the cows but didn't want to lose the malt contract, so bought a bunch of hogs to feed out on it. That lasted exactly one cycle- the pork fat wouldn't get hard when cooled, and the meat had a slimy feel. The bacon was kind of rubbery and greasy even when refrigerated. So that was the end of that.

Mike(NEOhio) · Oct 23, 2018

Absolutely faked. No depth and the heads are in focus front to back. None of them seem to actually be eating.

MJMJ · Oct 23, 2018

Feeding cattle leftover vegetables is common, but that pic is fake. The seller is creating a fairy tale setting for unknowing city folks.

Feel good beef. Real or photo shopped?
