[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 365349, member: 5601"] OK, I stand corrected. I now believe the demand is there! Now the next question is, will the public be willing to pay for it. Ultrasound update. I talked to the big man yesterday and our ultrasound day has been changed from April 18 to the 16. I also found this out. It costs $10 per head to have an ultrasound done. We will be getting a discount rate ($6 per head) because he is considering entering into a contract with the buyer/meat packer for all our feeders. He said when she is done we will know if we have “all natural beef” as we don’t use growth hormones or bulk antibiotics in their feed. And our feed is all natural. Now here is an interesting thing he said. They do not consider corn in it’s self to be natural, but corn gluten is considered natural. You can’t feed ground corn but you can feed corn gluten. It has something to do with how the corn brakes down and converts to protein and then into fat and/or muscle tissue (marbling). IMO, it must be the cooking of the corn that makes the difference. Go figure! Now someone has already been out and checked for growth implants and our feed stuff and we are OK there. Now they are coming on the 16th to check the meat itself. He said that when the ultrasound is complete, we will know if we have “all natural beef” and/or “certified angus beef” and/or just beef (hamburger) to sell and we will be separating them into 3 different pens. From there he will negotiate a contract, including price. If no agreement is reached he will then shop around for another buyer. I’ll keep you posted. SL [/QUOTE]
