How is Beef raised?

I often get asked how beef is raised here in the United States.
​
This is a valid question and usually goes hand-in-hand with "What is the difference between Grass fed and Conventional beef?"

These are great questions and I often don't have a large chalk board to lay it all out, so I wave my hands furiously and try my best to explain how that pound of ground made it into your refrigerator last week...
It usually doesn't end well, with my well meaning, inquisitive conversationalist leaving dumbfounded, to no fault of their own, by that Crunchy, Hippy, Goofy Rancher guy.

Anyway, I finally used my hand-cranked, 1997 model HP to connect to that new-fangled Internet thing and put my thoughts into an Infograph. 

Hope this helps... gotta go chase pigs.

​Enjoy
