From Dear Mother — Dec/Jan 2005

RELATED CONTENT

Our farm has been producing forage-finished beef for about 10 years, and I must say I have never come across an article on the subject that was so comprehensive, yet succinct as your “Better Beef” article.

The health benefits of grass-fed beef are beyond question. It is absolutely true that the demand greatly exceeds the supply. We are already sold out (by prior deposit/reservation) for our February 2006 harvest. Your writer was on the ball to be talking to the folks at the Stockman Grassfarmer newspaper. It is the bible of forage-finished meat producers; always timely and full of useful info.

There was only one shortcoming in the article: the mention of suitable breeds for grass-fed beef. Murray Grey cattle are exceptionally qualified to produce tender grass-fed beef. In addition, the Murrays are good mothers, extremely docile, good milkers and have few birth problems. As a bonus, the silver ones will shine in the moonlight! Kidding aside — I’m happy to provide more information to anyone about the Murray Grey breed of beef cattle.
