This is a clear victory for consumers who have expressed their concern in recent days that LFTB has been included in reportedly 70% of the nation's ground beef, up to 15%, without their knowledge. It follows on the heels of introduction of the REAL Beef Act by Representative Chellie Pingree, as well as letters in support of labeling submitted to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack by Reps. Rosa DeLauro and Sam Farr.
But labeling in fine print is one thing. Grazing cattle on just grass with no antibiotics or feed lots pumping GMO corn is another.
Recently, I had a chance to visit Rancho San Julian located in Lompoc California. I had an interesting conversation with Elizabeth Poett, whose family has been raising sustainable beef for over 200 years.
- Born and raised on Rancho San Julian in Santa Barbara County, CA
- Raised humanely and grazed on a rotational system
- Bred by registered Angus bulls
- Never given any antibiotics or hormones
- Finished on a completely vegetarian diet of regionally grown hay and dry farmed barley- NEVER ANY CORN (100% Grass-Fed available by Special Order)
- Harvested on our ranch in the first USDA approved Mobil Harvest Unit in CA.
- Dry-aged for tenderness
- Traceable--we know the history of each of our animals
- Here’s how to buy San Julian grass-fed beef
Editor’s Notes:
Real Beef for Real People (part 2 of my series) will include the discovery of a secret recipe that may taste familiar. Here’s a clue. It’s not in the beef.
