Grass-fed defined!
This topic is for intellectual discussion only and all are welcome.
OK folks here we go again. Please stay on topic so I don't have to lock this one down also.
Before you can discuss any subject you first must define the subject.
In this case the subject is "grass-fed beef.
Thus far we have established that there is no ONE definition of grass-fed beef.
I have given you one definition of grass-fed from an advertiser on this board.

You will find Tallgrass's definition under " Partner with us" . Select "rancher or farmer" scroll down to "file downloads" and click on "Producer Protocols Document ".
I stated I almost totally agree with this definition.
I also gave you a second definition:

Which I almost totally disagree with.
Bother of these are the terms and conditions, you, the cattleman, must raise your animals under to qualify as grass-fed animals.
There are some very distinct differences in these two definitions, but there is also some common ground.
In an attempt to reach a mutually agreed upon definition for the word "grass-fed" can you list those things that are common to both?
Your turn!

Ps If you get them all right you will be allowed to take two attaboys out of the community chest to buy yourself a Dr. Pepper! And I will :tiphat: to you.
