Ask any rancher and they will tell you that if Americans want grass fed beef than they will surely provide it - but 3 years to bring a cow to market for grass fed vs. 150 days for grain fed is going to result in a much more expensive product. And americans want only things that are cheap. I personally eat grass fed beef and pay $5-6 a lb for ground beef and 8 a lb for round tip roasts. Steaks will go for 8-14 a lb. And I doubt many people are willing to pay those prices.


Find yourself a local farmer and order in bulk (split quarter or half) -- we do that and pay $3.85 a pound cut weight which includes everything from ground beef to filet mignon to everything in between and soup bones too! (grass-fed, 100% pastured, organic too)
