"Grass-fed beef isn't as good as grain fed. Grain gives the beef extra fat and marbling, adding too the flavor and texture of the cut."

That may be so, but flavor's not the issue at this house. It's health, and grass-fed animal products are MUCH healthier for you than grain-fed. Let me see if I can find a reference...OK, here ya go: Why Grassfed Animal Products Are Better For You.

Jenny, I would never ever tell you how to farm! I don't know the first thing about it. But I do know that many family farmers are turning to this new market and prospering again, and if you weren't aware of it, I wanted you to know. We're hoping to keep a couple of chickens ourselves in the next year and I'm always on the lookout for raw dairy and grassfed meat. It's not easy to find, at least at a price we can afford!

And I know we could eat way more than a half in a year! I just don't think I have more storage space than that at a time.
