Show Notes
Eating pasture-raised anything has better ecologically regenerative effects than grain-fed anything. But not all meat is created equal. We also run sheep and chickens on our farm, but our cow herd is definitely the backbone. In this episode I delve a little bit into how our production makes our pasture-raised beef different than meat you would find at the grocery store.
Pasture Beef is the number one land-healing food you can eat. They get quite a bum rap in the news media nowadays, and I think I need to be their strong advocate. Any pictures of muddy feedlots and disgusting environments don't have anything to do with the animals (they enjoy being quite clean), but rather with the farmer who owns them. Farmers own the blame for taking an animal who is able to heal the land and allowing them to ruin it.
I interviewed David Boatright, my fellow farmer and best friend, for this episode. He is pretty knowledgeable about everything farming related, so you should enjoy him.
