[QUOTE="lseger, post: 298656, member: 5162"] I think, despite the big organic craze, many of the people willing to pay the premium are probably more interested in "natural" beef -- which these days is starting to become synonomous with antibiotic-free, grass-fed. I mean, in theory, if you raise an organic cow on organic feed, and then feed the "organic" remains your other cows after slaughter, those other cows are still "organic" - but may have BSE. What's the point? As has been stated - a lot of people just want to know the cow was raised to be a cow, was treated well and ate what it evolved to eat -- that it didn't get shot up with hormones,antibiotics and other dubious chemicals and then stuck in a CAFO eating lord knows what mixed in with their GMO corn while standing in three feet of turd soup. ...and I guess that makes sense to me. That's probably partly why everyone here eats their own beef rather than take their chances at the supermarket. There is definitely money in natural -- which is the route we are going with on all of our animals, down to the chickens. We're not even going to try to get the organic label. We're just going to try to make the yuppies happy enough to pay $18/pound for our cheese and $4/dozen for our eggs. :) [/QUOTE]
