[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 700252, member: 1346"] I've read the whole thing now and I see the flax seed was brought up several times. I don't think grassfed are better than grainfed......... however, I do think the stockyard could improve the taste/flavor of beef. If that weren't so, then why is it we can finish our own beef and it tastes better than the storebought. But, we are a country owned by foreigners and if the US had consistently better tasting beef (which could be done) then beef producers would get more money for their product and we couldn't be integrated pricewise to the same as other countries. As long as there's no quota on the amount of beef imported then we'll continue to see herd sellouts/reductions and reduced beef prices while we watch beef prices go up in the store. Beef imports are affecting grassfed and grainfed US beef producers. This is a perfect example of keeping people antagonistic towards each other arguing about grassfed/grainfed instead of looking at the real culprit, imported beef. The american people consume enough beef to keep both types in demand and for both types of beef to be profitable (if imports were limited). Actually with so many people on food stamps, in order to sell your own farm raised beef (whether its grassfed or grainfed) one would have to get set up so that people can purchase it on food stamps. I don't know if that's possible (whether the farmers market would help do that or if the local butcher plant could/would do it for a person or if that's even legal for them to do so). As I see it, that's where the problem lies, inaccessibilty (when you have 1 out of 9 on food stamps and who knows what it will be six months from now). I realize I carried the discussion farther than the original post, but I think everyone, whether grass fed or grain fed, are all looking to see where they can cut expenses/inputs. Its all so foolish, just cut imports. [/QUOTE]
