[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 691340, member: 10970"] I am not interested in the information about some environmentalist whackos, but I can appreciate the humor in it. There is no reason to be against the grass-fed producer and I can understand with the media hype that your grain-fed product has lost some of its' luster over the past decade. Again, no reason to be against the producer that is supplying a better product and instead meet the challenge and join the few that are putting a healthier product on the tables of many. I believe my product is better for the following reasons: 1. I have less inputs to my entire operation than you do: no fertilizer, no herbicides, very little hay ever needed 2. I have better cattle than you do is my assumption because all my calves wean in excess of 700 lbs at 7 mos-- for the past 2 decades 3. I can finish my steers in 13 to 14 months and never see a feed bucket-- I dont buy feed 4. My steers grade High Choice to Low Prime YG 2 (in 13 mos) when yours are probably low Choice YG 2 at best, which is common 5. I dont need a HCWt of 800 lbs to break even, since I get more $$ on my retail cuts etc.... 6. I have a healthier product than you do there is no doubt in my mind (just Google: grassfed beef and Omega 3 fatty acids) 7. I dont Wet Age my beef like 95% of the local kill floors do as does the Machine ( IBP/Cargill etc) 8. Dry Aging Process is much better --ask your grandfather......... I think I am done with this post for now...... Ed [/QUOTE]
