Nothing like driving by a feed lot to get the full effect of a couple of thousand head of beef. Passed a feedlot west of Amarillo Texas a few years ago on I-40. You could smell the cattle a half mile coming and going. The kids wanted to know what the smell was and the wife, who is an old farm girl, said "Dinner".

I see a cowpie as the poisons the Good Lord removed from the meat I'm going to eat.

There is a similar place on I-5 between Los Angeles and Sacramento- Harris Ranch. Their feed lots there hold a maximum of 106,000 cattle if they are full. That's right- 106,000. They also have horses and cowboys who are continually sorting them with shipments coming and going.
Their restaurant cooks fresh every day with the ingredients they raise in addition to the beef. I once counted the hanging signs and got over 40 items. Onions, nuts, carrots, broccoli, etc. Some of the best food you have ever tasted since you got to get meals from your granny who had her own garden.
When I have been driving with city people and they comment on the odor in that mile radius, I give them the same answer.....Prime Rib.
Harris Ranch beef is excellent. If your store carries it, try some. Also Miller Blue Ribbon beef from Utah, Nevada and other locations.
