🥩 It’s never easy to question the actions of a company that you admire and respect, but on behalf of the farmers I represent, I was glad that The Grocer published my comment. 🌎 So much of the beef industry is misunderstood and oversimplified. What we need is an efficient beef industry, more from less. 🧬 I have listened to many inspirational beef farmers who have chosen Limousin for their ability to grow efficiently and achieve a low age at slaughter, despite the stewardship subsidies aimed at persuading farmers to chose native breeds. Limousins are stacking up commercially without the subsidy. ✅ Limousins are thriving at 1,800ft, grazing the uplands evenly, averaging 12 calves/ cow with calves achieving 1.3kg/day before weaning. #greengenes#britishbeef#mythbusting

"Here's a statistic you might not expect for #dairymonth. Did you know that dairy beef feeder steers make up approximately 15-20% of all fed market cattle in the U.S., according to the @University of Michigan? And with the growth of #dairy crosses with several beef breeds, we can expect that percentage to increase. (Some popular crosses right now include Jersey x Angus, Jersey x Simmental, Jersey x Wagyu, Holstein x Angus and Holstein x Angus and Holstein x Limousin, among others.)Because many dairy breeds coincidentally also have good marbling characteristics, this can be a win-win for dairies looking to make some extra income and feedlot managers looking to get premiums on the rail.But since feed conversion rates are different for dairy breeds compared to beef, it's absolutely crucial for managers and employees to keep on top of maximum efficiency and good feeding practices.

The holidays are prime time for beef, and before making the trip to the grocery store, you may want to consider buying beef direct from American ranchers themselves! It just so happens that today is National Direct-to-Consumer Day, so why should you buy direct-to-consumer beef?🍔 Feed your family the tastiest, best beef available!🍔 Avoid meat counter confusion, questionable labels, imports, and always know where your beef is coming from!🍔 Make an impact, and directly support American farming and ranching families!🍔 Skip the beef section at the grocery store with a full freezer all year long. When you use USABeef.org, finding local ranchers to buy beef from is made easy and convenient! With ranchers around the country participating, the options are endless. Find local pickup, nationwide shipping, grass fed/ grain fed, a 1/4th of beef, 1/2 of beef, specific cuts, steaks, and more at www.USAbeef.org.

Celebrating the Beauty and Diversity of Chicken Eggs & Beef Operations in the United States! As we savor our morning omelets or indulge in a hearty steak dinner, let's take a moment to appreciate the remarkable beauty and diversity that lies within our food sources.Just like the stunning array of colors, sizes, and patterns found in chicken eggs, our nation's beef operations also boast incredible diversity. From the sprawling ranches of the West to the family-owned farms in the heartland, and the rolling hills in Western Pennsylvania where I farm at @MapleValleyCattleCompany each operation contributes to the rich tapestry of American agriculture. Every egg tells a unique story, reflecting the varied diets and environments of the hens that laid them. Similarly, beef operations across the United States showcase a multitude of practices and traditions, from grass-fed to grain-finished, highlighting the adaptability and innovation of our farmers and ranchers and their own geography. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, both chicken eggs and beef operations play vital roles in our food system, providing nourishment and sustenance to millions while supporting rural economies and livelihoods. Today, let's celebrate the beauty and diversity of our food sources and recognize the hard work and dedication of the farmers and ranchers who make it all possible. #Agriculture #FoodDiversity #MapleValleyCattleCompany #Egg #Beef #Farms #Diversity

Know what you’re buying. This picture has store beef(left), and farm beef(right). There is an obvious visible difference between the two! But the differences don’t stop there! 1. You may notice in the picture the color difference. The store-bought is pumped full of additives and water. There isn’t a guarantee of where that beef came from either. Yes, it may have a USDA label on it, but as long as that animal was packaged in the US, it can be called a Product of the USA. The meat in the package is not from one single cow, rather scraps from multiple cows. It could have came from Argentina, Canada, or Brazil. 2. The beef on the right is darker and is farm raised beef. It is filled with more nutrients & flavor. The ground is also from one cow and not just scraps from multiple cows. 3. Buying your beef from a local Farmer/Rancher you are helping to buy a little girl dance shoes or a little boy baseball gear. Buying from the store just lines the pockets of the already wealthy meat packers. Let’s help each other. We help you eat healthy, you help us provide for our families. Buy from a local ranch/farm!Borrowed from another farm.*Copied!#creswickfarms #ilovecreswickfarms #creswickfarmsyum #supportyourlocalfarmer #buylocal #localmeat #ravenna #grassfed #beef #doingitright
