[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 781145, member: 14624"] This is an interesting topic. I have a neighbor down the road that raises Grass-fed beef and I see him most every weekend at the farmers market peddling his products. He has some earthy looking gals talking to the sometimes ill-informed consumers about the fact that they dont use antibiotics and hormones and all this such talk and putting the ideas in the local consumers that all grain-fed folks do use these things, which is very untrue. My idea is that if the only way you can sell your product is to put down the "opposition" with scare tactics-- that your product must not be cutting the mustard. I believe Grass-fed has a place in our business, but hopefully not marketed in such ways. Grass-fed folks say that their beef is better for you-- with an increase and balance of Omega 3's [b]I say, yes this may be true, but I can always go to the health food store and buy some Omega 3 pills.[/b] Grass-fed folks say they don't use Hormones and anti-biotics. [b]I say, we never have either[/b] I say that grass-fed beef isnt as tasty as grain-fed beef (not enough BF and IMF) [b]The Grass-fed folks say, that their beef is better for me and don't answer the question[/b] I say that maybe you need to wait a little while longer to harvest the grass-fed calves. [b]The Grass-fed folks just look at me with a "deer in the headlights look", about them[/b] I say maybe if you waited a lil longer to finish your product it would taste better due to an increase in external fat and IMF and if there was more external fat you could hang your carcasses longer. [b]The Grass-fed folks say, yes, you may be right.[/b] The bottom line is that no one wants to put a piece of meat in their mouth that gets bigger the longer you chew it... JustSimms [/QUOTE]
