[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 689558, member: 9169"] Well said, SRBeef. I also see this as an example of how the actions of corporate mega ag get unfairly reflected on the producer. If you took Mr and Mrs city dwellers out and showed them the typical cow/calf operation, it would make a favorable impression on them towards beef. Then take them on a tour of the typical feedlot and let them see pen after pen of muddy cattle and oh, by the way, we put growth hormone implants in them and give them un-needed antibiotics in their rations. Gee, no wonder they come away with a bad impression. Even if mass produced US beef is safe and tasty as any in the world, the mass production aspect of it just isn't pretty. Usually thru alarmist media reports, the consumer learns just enough to trouble them. [/QUOTE]
