Greetings,
If I may chime in here, Please, once you discover the horrors that the
agribusiness way of raising animals is causing, buy 100% strictly grass
fed meat.
I have a question I'd like to pose to those of you who are growing
grass fed cattle. What happens with milk production? I've had
several clients who own dairy farms, and these people insist that
dairy cows must be fed some grain in order to produce high quality
milk. Not having any experience in this area, I have nothing to say
in response.
It seems, however, that so much factory farm mentality has crept into
the way food is produced in North America, determining fact from myth
is difficult. One of these clients laughed at my garden several weeks
ago (after I told her I use no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or
herbicides), but commented to me last week in great surprise that our
plants are thriving. (Our corn looks every bit as good as hers, she
said, even though we're at higher elevation and it's colder and drier
where I live than in the valley.) Is the idea that dairy cattle MUST
be fed grain in order to produce high quality milk a myth?
If so, what on earth did those poor ungulates do when they roamed the
prairies in the wild?
