I would invite my siblings to a bbq of grass fed meat. Some of them just don't believe there is a health, or taste difference, and the ones that do would be happy to enjoy it with us.

There are so many good excuses to feed grain to cattle (they are still wrong), but there are cattle that get fat looking at grass and to feed grain would make them obese. These easy-fleshing cattle were listed as a "rare breed" as recently as 2002 because they do not work on the industrial feedlot. For grass they are a wonder. I imported a whole herd of these cattle from New Zealand last year: they are Devon cattle that I purchased from the Rotokawa stud or farm--visit www.rotokawacattle.com for more info. These are cattle like the cattle that were around before the feedlot craze in the 1960's. Many folks will have to "prop" up their cattle with grain if they are "industrial cattle"--you have to find/breed grass cattle to have success on a grass-only diet. Many folks are having great success--we buy from 20 producers to supply the cattle we harvest weekly and sell in NYC and Boston-visit www.hardwickbeef.com. The real key is the consumer getting educated and then insisting on what she/they want. This will provide the "pull on the rope" instead of the "push on the rope" many of us are trying.

What the research shows (Susan Duckett-Clemson University) is that as soon as you feed corn/grain in any form you change the omega 6: omega 3 ratio of the meat. This is like a finger print--she can precipitate the fat out of a piece of meat, measure this ratio and tell you whether that animal ate grain/corn. Of course the imbalance of this ratio (10 omega 6 to 1 omega 3) found in grain finished meat is the cause of the health related problems we have all heard of in red meat. The nearly 1:1 ratio found in grass-fed and finished is perfect for human health. These are EFA"s essential fatty-acids and critical to important things like brain function. It is critically important that the consumer understands this and insists on it in the market place. Everyone in the market place claims to be "grass-fed" now because the consumer wants it but almost all is pseudo, sort of, kind of , almost grass-fed and finished. Research shows a "bit of grain" ruins the ratios. Get educated visit www.eatwild.com for the data.

The best method for raising beef is the MIG way.

Mig stands for Management Intensive Grazing.

Cattle are kept on grass their whole life.

Thank you, Bill

I have no idea how it was added to this website, and at who's request. I have had similar things happen where I have posted the Veterans Against NAIS petition such as someone claiming to be me posting a later link to a petition against homework for students. Apparently, someone feels the need to distract from this issue by methods that have nothing to do with discussing the merits of their postition.Mike Murphy Michigan Hi,
