Subject: Thoughts on Grass Fed, Antibiotic and Growth Hormone Free Beef?


Illinois		We spent this past weekend in St. Louis for a little weekend getaway. Many of the restaurants are promoting this in their beef (plus chicken and pork). We also walked through a "Country Market" grocery store and most everything was this plus Organic. As a grain and livestock farmer this frustrates me. We feed our feedlot calves our harvested silage corn (sprayed with herbicides and fungicides) and then given antibiotic shots as needed and growth hormone implants to these calves.

It just frustrates me. I don't believe we can feed the growing world by going Organic and such, that's why we do what we do.

Anybody know why farmers are going this route? Do they think these methods cause cancer or something?

IMO grass fed beef tastes nothing like corn fed beef.

I'm open to hearing both sides if somebody thinks otherwise. Like I said, I am curious...
