Grass Fed Beef = Cowboys

As more and more Grass Fed Beef is being grown, keeping these cows in line requires more of what America is know for; Cowboys. Who doesn’t wanna be a cowboy?

It is good news that customers' concerns for their health are also promoting the creation of jobs that are healthier to do than working at a manure filled feed lot. Where would you rather work? Out on the American Prarie or in a stinking feed lot.

I helped out as a cowboy on a ranch one summer. It is quiet the experience. You get a lot of good clean air, excersice, a good looking farmer tan, and good heathly meat on the table for dinner. Consumers may pay a bit more for their healthy, free-range beef, but what they pay for is not just their health; no, it's also that of everyone involved in raising this beautiful healthy meat.

Even though grass fed beef costs a bit more, they are willing to spend the money for what they believe is a safer meat product. And they're right. Cattle that have been raised in feed lots are at least 58% more likely to be carrying a disease called campylobacter. This bacteria can cause fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache and muscle pain when consumed. Pasture raised cattle fed grass and hay do not seem to be bothered by this bacteria. Cowboys raising grass fed beef had become more or less obsolete. In Arizona, ranchers are looking for cowboys again. They will raise them the traditional way. The cowboys will herd the cattle and move the cattle, instead of merely shooting them up with vaccinations and hormones and wormers and leaving them in feed lots.
