At the end of June we took one of the farm's year old Holstein steers into the local slaughter house with dreams of steaks and burgers dancing in our heads. I pre-sold 3/4 of the beef to two local families interested in switching to grass fed, and the last 1/4 was designated for our family.
Grass fed beef is wonderful because it is beef as nature intended it to be- from cows who roam happily through wide open pastures grazing on a variety of grasses. Because they are mobile and are eating vegetation instead of being cooped up in a stockyard eating grain, beef from grass fed bovine is leaner, more flavorful, and has a higher nutritional content for the consumer.
All our dreams were realized as we grilled up some delicious rib-eye steaks and burgers last night, and enjoyed the lean yet juicy, flavorful, healthy taste of our own homegrown beef.
