Ditto to much of your post. I personally know the farmer who supplies my beef. know the couple who own the processing house where that steer becomes the meat for my freezer. I know what that steer has eaten and how it was treated from birth to our plates.
The beef we get from them is unequaled in tenderness and taste.

Lol, our farmer gave us some beef to try. He said the steer was mighty riled up when they got him to the butcher and he was afraid the taste would be off. Nothing like knowing all about the process, from start to finish! We get our eggs from them too and I can't even buy eggs from the store. The store-bought eggs’ yolks look anemic.
