[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16974"] I read an article a while ago that said the demand for organic beef is not comparable with the demand for organic fruit and vegs. The health conscious people who can afford and are willing to buy organic produce often don't even eat meat, especially beef. Some apple producers in Washington have said that so many people were raising a particular type of organic apple, the premium is no longer there for the producer. You might check the <A HREF="http://www.drovers.com" TARGET="_blank">www.drovers.com</A> site or search the archives here at Cattle Today and see if you can find the article about organic beef. I think the real expenses involved in producing organic is that the pastures have to be declared organic, too. And that might take several years. Vaccinations are OK, just no growth hormones or antibiotics. "Natural" beef is easier because the pastures don't have to be certified. Just no hormones or antibiotics. You might look at the <A HREF="http://www.bradley3ranch.com" TARGET="_blank">www.bradley3ranch.com</A> site. Minnie Lou Bradley, at Memphis, TS, has been very successful with her "natural" beef.
