World's Best Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Italian grandmothers everywhere are up in arms for this meatball travesty. One Nona said, “Mammoth Meatballs are impastas!” You may feel the same, but don’t judge this cretaceous cook book by its cover. Everyone knows dry aging is so last year. Now we age our meat in glaciers for a few millennia. A new cultured meat company in Australia by the name of 
	<a href="https://www.vowfood.com/" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">Vow</a> has done just that in creating a mammoth meatball.
	Is this prehistoric protein safe? Well, the creators of this frankenmeat haven’t even eaten it yet out of fear. One of them said, “I’ve got no idea what the potential allergenicity might be of this particular protein”. Is it necessary? Not at all. The cultured, lab-grown meat movement keeps going further and further to undermine real meat. Now, they’ve dug up extinct meat to try to drive real meat into extinction itself.&nbsp;
	What drives them to take partial mammoth DNA, mix it with elephant DNA, and then cultivate it in a sheep muscle cell? The environment is always the main thing cited for the need of lab-grown meat, but even that synthetically engineered leg might not be one for them to stand on. A 
	<a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.21.537778v1.article-info">new study done by the University of California</a> shows that the climate impact of lab-grown meat could be up to 25 times worse for the environment than traditionally-raised, real meat.
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/f3.large.jpg" style="width: 70%; height:auto">
	Notice the jump from 500 to 1400 on the left side of the graph. GCR-PF is over 3x the emissions of the maximum projected bovine emissions by itself. 
	 
	As the graph above shows, even the maximum bovine emissions are significantly less than the sum of the PF (Purification Factor) of the lab-grown alternatives. The emissions are higher due to the large amount of energy needed to refine and purify growth medium components. These are the components that help cultured meat grow, and since any presence of bacteria can destroy the cultured meat cells, the components must go through extreme processes of purification that rely heavily on fossil fuels and generate significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than real meat. Anyone claiming lab-grown meat has less environmental impact is taking a narrow perspective that doesn’t include all the facts.&nbsp;
	If we scale up current technologies to produce cultured meat, we will be doing a disservice to our agricultural industry and our environment. Emissions wouldn't decrease, but would instead increase anywhere from 4 to 25 times based on this study. Yes, a mammoth meatball is hilarious. It’s a great punchline at the end of a joke, but the problem is these aren’t jokes but real scientific experiments informing an industry hard set on a process to grow meat in a lab and harm the planet and farmers worldwide in the process. We should be wise and efficient in the use of our resources, and this new study clearly shows lab-grown meat will undermine a key American industry and replace an agricultural system that’s one of the best in the world with an inferior substitute.&nbsp;
	 
	 
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/mammoth-meatball-image-2.jpeg" style="width: 70%; height:auto"> 
	A meatball made from flesh cultivated using the DNA of an extinct woolly mammoth is presented at NEMO Science Museum created by a cultured meat company, in Amsterdam, Netherlands March 28, 2023.&nbsp;PIROSCHKA VAN DE WOUW/AMSTERDAM/Reuters
	These mammoth meatballs look like old baseballs retrieved from the scary backyard in the movie Sandlot. Lab-grown meat is not a competitor to real meat because they aren't even in the same league of quality or flavor. It's like a little league team going up against the top players in the MLB. Vow may have made meatballs from discovered mammoth remains in the permafrost, but these mammoth meatballs and the entire lab-grown meat industry need to go back in the ice.

	<li>2 teaspoons of coriander seeds</li>	<li>2 teaspoons of cumin seeds</li>	<li>2 tablespoons of olive oil</li>	<li>3 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced</li>	<li>1-2 serrano peppers, seeded and diced (if you want extra heat)</li>	<li>4 cloves of garlic chopped</li>	<li>1 medium onion diced</li>	<li>12-ounces of tomato sauce</li>	<li>1 tablespoon of agave syrup</li>	<li>½ teaspoon of garlic salt</li></ul><h3>For the Pickled Onions Topping:</h3><ul>
	<li>1 medium red onion, very thinly sliced</li>	<li>½ cup water</li>	<li>¼ cup distilled white vinegar</li>	<li>¼ cup apple cider vinegar or additional white vinegar</li>	<li>1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup or honey</li>	<li>1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt</li></ul><h3>The Wagyu Ground Beef Tacos:</h3><ul>
	<li>1 pound of Good Ranchers American Wagyu ground beef</li>	<li>2 tablespoons of above seasoning or your own</li>	<li>¼ cup of water</li>	<li>Your choice of cheeses and toppings </li></ul><h2>Instructions</h2><h3>For the Pickled Onions:</h3><ol>

How to Cook a steak better than gordon ramsay

Have you heard about grass-fed, grass-finished beef? We often get asked why we don't sell grass-finished beef, and the short answer is we don't sell it because it's not the best. Companies often attach benefits to the beef being finished on grass. They tell you it's better for the planet, for the animal, and for you but they aren't telling you the truth. It's one of the biggest advertising cons in the meat industry over the past 8 years. Meat suppliers who are importing meat from overseas use this label to cover their low-quality cuts, but we are here to tell you the other side of the story. Let's get into the truth of grass-finished beef. Just know, we are for Real Beef. With so many substitutes and fake alternatives the market, we are not saying grass-finished is not superior to them. It is way better than fake meat, but that doesn't mean it's this "revolutionary beef" that so many perceive it to be though. Grass-finished beef does not offer you the significantly higher quality and health benefits you may think it does, and it's certainly not worth the premium price so many charge for it.<h3>Grass-Finished vs Grain-Finished&nbsp;</h3>Grass-finished cows are cows that only eat grass for their whole lives. They do not consume grain in their diet at any point. Grain-finished cows eat grass for the majority of their lives and are then finish by eating grass and a supplemental grain mixture for the last few months. How does that change the finishing process? It changes a lot actually. So which one is better for the you, the animal, and the planet?&nbsp;<h4>Better For The You</h4>Often the most spread around falsehoods for grass-finished is that it has more "health benefits" than grain-finished beef, but that's not true. In terms of beef health benefits, the Animal Research Department at TAMU found that, "there is no scientific evidence to support the claims that ground beef from grass-fed cattle is a healthier alternative to ground beef from conventionally raised, grain-fed cattle." (<a href="https://animalscience.tamu.edu/2013/12/07/ground-beef-from-grass-fed-and-grain-fed-cattle-does-it-matter/" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">TAMU</a>) This finding about ground beef is found to be true about other types of beef as well.Though some people make claims that studies have proven a significant difference between the two categories of beef, even the Mayo Clinic states, "there is limited long-term research to definitively prove that grass-fed beef is better for you." (<a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/expert-answers/grass-fed-beef/faq-20058059">MayoClinic</a>) No matter how the beef is finished, it is a great source of key vitamins and minerals for you.&nbsp;<h4>Better For The Animal</h4>Grass-finished beef proponents would tell you grain is bad for cows, but that is another lie. It's not unhealthy for cattle to eat grain. The myth that grains and corns are bad for cattle isn't true at all. In fact, cattle are fed grains like corn because they are&nbsp;<a href="https://www.meatinstitute.org/index.php?ht=a/GetDocumentAction/i/93607#:~:text=Cattle%20are%20fed%20grains%20like,supply%20of%20great%20tasting%20beef.">nutritious, energy-rich, and can be stored for use throughout the year</a>. If we were to rely solely on grass to feed our cattle, many farms and ranches would struggle to feed their herds due to seasonality of grass growing throughout the country. Grain feeding isn't a new practice and has been going on since the 1800s in the cattle industry. The misconception is that ranchers looking to fatten up their cows and make a quick&nbsp;buck use this method, but it's really utilized by those farms and ranches seeking to raise a consistently excellent product in every aspect. Grass-finished beef is not a superior way to raise the animal. Grain-finished is actually the most nutrient-rich way to feed and take care of cattle.<h4>Better For The Planet</h4>Meat in America gets a bad reputation for emissions, and wrongfully so in a lot of ways. In fact, the percentage of yearly emissions that meat accounts for has remained consistent over the past few years even though demand continues to go up. This highlights how our system is constantly improving to consistently, and sustainably produce the best meat in the world. That doesn't answer the question of which beef is better for the planet though. Is it grass or grain-finished beef? Grain finished beef is significantly better for the planet than grass-finished, and here's why: The diet and the longer lifespan of grass-finished cattle greatly increase the emissions—<a href="https://www.beefresearch.org/resources/beef-sustainability/fact-sheets/grass-versus-grain-finished">up to 67.5% higher</a>. Yes, grain-finished is way better at reducing methane emissions and saving time in raising high-quality beef. The planet is better off for the systems we've created to quickly, safely, and sustainably produce great food for this country and the world to enjoy.<h3>It's Finished</h3>Get the beef that was finished right.

The first thing you need to know is that we're drawing a line in the sand on this topic—just like we did with only sourcing our meat from American farms. We have never and will never source meat from any farm that uses unapproved, experimental treatments and medicines in their animals. Place an order today to enjoy 100% American Meat with 0% mRNA Vaccine. You can take our pledge to the bank, or better yet, take it to your fridge. Read the full pledge&nbsp;<a href="http://www.saymrno.com">here</a>.
	How did everyone start talking about mRNA vaccines in livestock? It really kicked off on April 1st. The story came from Tom Renz, a lawyer from Ohio, on Twitter. His <a href="https://twitter.com/renztom/status/1642229969555259395?s=46&amp;t=9YE1kStIm9Vsupyh-Dz4XQ">tweet</a> about <a href="https://www.house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB1169&amp;year=2023&amp;code=R">Missouri House Bill 1169</a> kicked off a discussion about food safety, honest labeling, and the people’s right to know what they’re consuming in their food. The bill focuses on items that can be called “gene therapy products”, and how they should be labeled as such for consumers to know that certain products could contain genetic material or create genetic changes in the user.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
	BREAKING NEWS: the lobbyists for the cattleman and pork associations in several states have CONFIRMED they WILL be using mRNA vaccines in pigs and cows THIS MONTH. WE MUST SUPPORT <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Missouri?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Missouri</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HB1169?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#HB1169</a>. It is LITERALLY the ONLY chance we have to prevent this… NO ONE knows the the… <a href="https://t.co/OQ6ti0Xsww">pic.twitter.com/OQ6ti0Xsww</a>
	
		— Tom Renz (@RenzTom) <a href="https://twitter.com/RenzTom/status/1642229969555259395?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2023</a>
	</blockquote>
	This bill seems to have the intention of blocking the lobbyists that Tom Renz says are pushing for mRNA vaccines to be used in cattle and pigs in Missouri. It also goes a long way to putting the consumer back in control. So many labels on food are used as smokescreens, and everyday Americans are left trying to pick the best things for their family through the haze. We live in a time where the current labels on products—especially food and even more so meat— tell you everything you don’t need to know and nothing of what is truly important. We hope this story helps more people see the great gap between those people who are doing things the right way and those who are acting without your well-being in mind.
	We’ve spoken out for years on the <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/blog/the-usda-investigates-confusion-around-product-of-usa-label">“Product of USA” Labeling</a> disaster and how foreign meat is stealing that label for their good, crippling our local farms in the process.That’s why we’ve gone against the normal industry practices of putting vanity labels and terms on our products. Others often do it to hide the shortcomings in quality, but we have nothing to hide. That’s why we’re openly joining the conversation about mRNA vaccines in cattle, pigs, and all livestock. We’re proud to take a stand for issues that matter, and the safety of our food supply chains is a topic that matters a great deal.
	Really what this story does is it shows more than ever why alternatives are needed. You cannot trust the labels on your grocery stores' meat, and other meat delivery companies that import their product from other countries won’t be any more transparent. You need Good Ranchers, and we don’t say that so we can make a sale. We say that so you can make a meal with ingredients that you can feel good about feeding your family and friends. We say that because you deserve to spend your money on products that are worth what you pay for them. We also say that because Good Ranchers needs you.
	We can only continue to take stands like this and pursue the highest level of excellence in the meat industry because of you. Our customers equip us and enable us to reject the norms that bring others to mediocrity. You allow us to serve you in the way you should be served.

While States Aim To Approve mRNA Vaccines in Cattle & Pigs—Good Ranchers Bans Them

March Madness is back, and this year, we’re helping the excitement spread beyond college basketball with our newest innovation:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/march-meatness" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">March Meatness</a>. Thanks to this new contest, you don’t have to love college basketball to be engaged and no purchase is necessary to win! You just need to have 10 minutes of free time and love Free Meat because if you pick the best March Meatness bracket, you win free meat for a year! Here’s 3 ways you can win:<h3>OPTION 1: COMPLETE YOUR MARCH MEATNESS BRACKET&nbsp;</h3>
	It works just like a regular bracket except the top seeded teams correspond to more popular cuts of meat and the lower seeded teams correspond to the...less popular meats. Each cut of meat represents a team in the bracket. For example, a ribeye could be represented by Houston (Go Coogs–we're a houston-based company), while a pork chop could be Virginia. All 4 major proteins are represented in the bracket: beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. That means you can root for your favorite cut to go all the way! Fill out your bracket <a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/march"></a><a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/march-meatness">here</a>.&nbsp;
	After the teams have been decided, our bracket creator will go live and you will be notified via email. This will most likely happen after selection Sunday is complete, so around 8pm on March 12th the March Meatness bracket will go live. You will have until midnight on March 15th to lock in your bracket. If your bracket prediction is the closest at the end of the tournament you’ll win a free year of meat! It does not have to be a perfect guess, just the best. What does the best mean?
	You can earn a total of 32 points per round of the tournament. With 6 total rounds a perfect score would be 192 points. If you do that, you’re a magician and we would like to offer you a job. There are less and less games per round as the teams are eliminated, which means the points per game goes up as the games per round goes down. Check out the chart below for the full point system and remember to visit our <a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/march">March Meatness</a> page to get started with your winning bracket!&nbsp;Heads up, to save your bracket you need to make a Good Ranchers account or login to an existing one you have. You can only make one bracket per account.

	Every purchase in the month of March earns you 10 entries into the raffle for free meat. Both one-time purchases and subscription orders count towards the raffle! The more orders placed, the more chances you have to win. Plus, we made the code MarchMeatness have UNLIMITED uses so that you can save on every box in the month of March. That discount code gets you $20 off each order you place + free shipping, so use the code MarchMeatness as many times as you’d like until the end of March Madness. We will announce the winner of the raffle alongside the bracket winner once the tournament is over! <h3>OPTION 3: DO BOTH</h3>
	We’re talking about over $2000 of Free Meat! Why wouldn’t you do both? Spread the word and start a March Meatness bracket competition among your friends and family. Even if you don’t win our contest, you can have the best bracket amongst them and then make them buy you a box of America’s best meat as your prize. <a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/march-meatness">March Meatness</a> is gonna be crazy and delicious.

The March Madness Bracket That Can Win You $2000 of Free Meat

The meat industry forecast for 2023 predicts a significant decrease in the supply of beef, leading to higher prices for everyone. Reports estimate that on average, Americans will eat 5.6% less beef this year due to shortages. If you don’t want to eat less meat, then securing your supply now is crucial. When the supply dropped 4% in 2003, fed-steer prices advanced nearly 25%, similar to the situations in 2011 (a 3.9% decline in supplies led to a 20% price increase) and 2014 (a 3.8% decline contributed to a 23% price jump). We could be looking at a similar 20% price spike for beef in 2023, which is why you should take advantage of our&nbsp;<a href="http://www.goodranchers.com">Price-Lock Guarantee</a>&nbsp;today.
	There are several reasons behind the current meat shortage crisis. The closure of meat processing plants due to outbreaks or even potential outbreaks of COVID-19 among workers caused a major slowdown in production, leading to supply chain disruptions. The pandemic has also led to a decrease in the total herd size since farmers were selling cows earlier than they usually would. They did this to take advantage of pandemic prices and probably to stay open in trying times.

	Graph from 
	<a href="https://www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2023/01-31-2023.php#:~:text=WASHINGTON%2C%20Jan.,Agricultural%20Statistics%20Service%20(NASS).">USDA Report</a>
	Another factor contributing to the shortage is the increasing demand for meat in developing countries, particularly in Asia. As these countries become wealthier, their citizens are consuming more meat, leading to a higher demand for it globally. This increased demand has led to <a href="https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/us-beef-exports-east-asia-record-pace#:~:text=During%20the%20first%20three%20quarters,increase%20on%20a%20value%20basis.">record beef exports from the U.S. to Asia</a>, which causes us to further depend on imported meat to fill the gap in our own stores and meals.
	The situation is further complicated by environmental policy changes. We’ve written blogs about how the <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/blog/the-impact-of-the-netherlands-upcoming-ban-on-meat">Netherlands</a> and <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/blog/breaking-news-new-zealand-taxes-cow-farts">New Zealand</a> are actively discouraging ranching and raising livestock in general. Many countries are implementing policies aimed at reducing the climate “impact” of meat production and therefore reducing the supply of meat and hurting the global economy and food supply in the process. There will be a shortage in the general supply of meat, but the availability of quality meat will greatly shrink too. High-quality cuts are said to become more scarce in 2023. Prime &amp; Choice beef options may not always be available, and if they are you’ll pay an even bigger premium on them then the other grades of beef.
	Consumers will have to make difficult decisions about the types of meat they consume and how much they are willing to pay for it this year. For those on a tight budget, this could mean eating less meat or opting for cheaper, less desirable cuts if they rely on their local grocer entirely. 
	The meat shortage is also likely to have a significant impact on the meat industry. Meat producers will have to adjust their operations to meet the new demands of consumers, which may mean reducing their margins or shifting their focus to other types of meat. This could also lead to the closure of some small, local meat producers, as they are unable to compete with larger, more established players in the industry. This will be a continuation of over <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/blog/the-local-farmers-market-delivered">100,000 small farms closing down in America</a> due to the odds being stacked against them and low-quality, imported goods flooding the market.
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/shutterstock-2040457256.jpg" style="width: 80%; height: auto;"> 
	
	We hope this meat shortage crisis is a wake-up call for consumers and the meat industry alike. It highlights the importance of ensuring a sustainable and reliable supply chain for one of our most important food sources: meat. We cannot continue to ignore our own farms and ranches as they close down and hope to have the same great food we always have. It is time for the industry to change, so that consumers can once again trust the food they eat and afford the best America has to offer.

2023 Meat Shortage: The Largest Beef Supply Drop In 40 Years

For a company that has raised 122 million dollars, Beyond’s share of the U.S. Meat Industry is barely the size of a thawing Dippin Dot in a paper cup at your local fair in the summer. Why has an industry that’s seen billions invested also experienced consistent and rapid declines? This could be in part because Beyond Meat uses <a href="https://apple.news/ApCY2W7GTTNKUQoG72bcwyw" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">“little pellets or cryogenically frozen balls of fats”</a> to try to give their fake meat the flavor and juiciness of real meat. Specifically, they use Dippin Dots' fat globules to add expeller-pressed canola oil and refined coconut oil into their meat monstrosities, ruining two of life’s greatest pleasures at the same time: beef and ice cream.
	Despite initially being sold as a healthy solution to its consumers, experts are now warning that Beyond Meat's products are not much better for consumers than fast food. Although anyone with a nose could tell that simply from the off putting smell plant-based proteins give off. It has the scent of a chemical vat that if you fell into might give you superpowers, but unfortunately the only superpower Beyond gives its consumers is higher cholesterol levels.&nbsp;
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/giphy.gif" style="width: 60%;height: auto"> 
	
	<a href="https://apple.news/ApCY2W7GTTNKUQoG72bcwyw">This criticism of Beyond Meat</a> has resulted in some consumers, like Michelle Darby from Marlton, New Jersey, choosing to go back to meat. Darby, who had been trying to eat more healthily due to her borderline high cholesterol, found that the fake meat products she was eating, such as the chicken-less nuggets and Impossible sausage sandwich, were not delivering the results she was looking for. After speaking to her doctor and learning that the processed foods she was consuming were not helping her health, Darby stopped buying plant-based meats.
	Dr. David Katz, the founding director of Yale University’s <a href="https://yalegriffinprc.griffinhealth.org/">Prevention Research Center</a>, has described Beyond's products as “ultraprocessed”. Another issue with Beyond Meat is its use of highly processed oils, such as expeller-pressed canola oil and refined coconut oil. These oil globules are the same base Dippin’ Dots uses in their ice cream. Beyond has partnered with Scott Fischer, the former CEO of Dippin' Dots and current CEO of Cryogenic Processors LLC to acquire the Dippin Dots tech to put in their beyond burgers.
	While Beyond Meat may have initially been sold as a replacement to meat for vegetarians, vegans, and carnivores alike, it is now clear that its products are highly processed and not much better for consumers than traditional fast food burgers. With the growing criticism of Beyond Meat's products, it remains to be seen whether the company will be able to pull out of their downward spiral in the coming years. In our opinion, their revenue is rightfully Dippin. Why? Because people seem to like a savory piece of real beef, juicy cut of chicken, or a fresh filet of salmon more than fat frozen with liquid nitrogen. Who would have guessed? Hint: literally all of us.

<h2>Cheesy Steak Quesadilla Recipe</h2>
	A Steak Quesadilla is a delicious snack or party food! When it's filled with tasty cheese, peppers, onions, and the best steak from yours truly (us), you will want to make these all the time! A great steak quesadilla is found in the steak, so make sure you have some of our USDA Prime or Upper Choice cuts of beef on hand, all sourced from American farms. Find them&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/shop">here</a>.
	Prep Time: 5 minutes
	 
	Cook Time: 15 minutes 
	 
	Ingredients<ul>
	<li>1 cup Good Ranchers steak cooked and chopped*</li>	<li>2 tbs oil divided</li>	<li>1 bell pepper diced</li>	<li>½ yellow onion diced</li>	<li>4 flour tortillas 8-inchs in diameter</li>	<li>1 cup cheddar cheese grated</li>	<li>1 cup pepper jack cheese grated</li>	<li>¼ cup olives</li></ul><h3>Instructions</h3><ul>
	<li>Cook your steak* then dice into cubes. To cook the steak, add some oil to a pan and get it hot, then add the steak and let the first side sear. Once it's formed a nice crust, flip it over and cook until the steak reaches an internal temp of 130. It will cook a little further when we finish the quesadilla, so medium-rare is the perfect start.

Need a Juicy Wagyu Burger Recipe? Here it is

Google is launching new features that are aimed at helping you “see information about the environmental impact of certain choices”. Choices like the car you drive, clothing you wear, and even the food you eat. They will now be showing you “ingredient-level emissions information” when you search for recipes. Beef is unsurprisingly listed as the worst ingredient for the environment by far. The emissions “data” rating for beef is nearly 24 times higher than that of tofu and 20 times higher than grains. Where did they get this information? The United Nations. Did they release the exact source of data they are using? No.
	Here’s a screenshot from google’s&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.google/products/search/new-ways-to-make-more-sustainable-choices/">own page</a> showing the example of how they will display this data to users like you:&nbsp;
	<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/IVAk4O6v-MS38FeN8bsrBvvH4uIfEW03Z1uGU1HIA3lKo1PoDF-vsF204W9mtHMhPembxK2dbnS7jLj_wullICNTnwddFKVZBOMt0oHzH29BIunTh34vvbVCLTNFICDSbJHxpMQxxh2oR2-TxUDPdH8" style="width: 50%; height: auto">
	This initiative has been challenged by individuals and organizations since its release. One of the main organizations being the <a href="https://www.ncba.org/">National Cattlemen’s Beef Association</a>. “Google is using its billions of dollars of resources to target cattle producers and ignore the science that demonstrates beef’s sustainability and value to the environment,” said Don Schiefelbein NCBA president in a recent <a href="https://www.ncba.org/ncba-news/news-releases/news/details/31693/ncba-denounces-google-feature-that-misrepresents-beefs-environmental-impact">statement</a>.
	He’s right though. Cattle producers have a strong record of improving processes and quality throughout their supply chain to care better for the land they use, which, according to Don, has “led to the U.S. recording the lowest global greenhouse gas emissions from beef while contributing to food security for the world.”
	We’re concerned that Google publicly released the data they are using the detailed information on the data/study they are basing these emissions levels off. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cko1Bf5juQM/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D">“Food emissions studies often fail to take into account the effects of fertilizer runoff, soil destruction, food waste, and transportation when it comes to plant foods.”</a> This can contribute to the incomplete representation of food emissions we’re so often told in society. Cattle are not just a producer of carbon, but an important part of the biogenic carbon cycle that naturally helps our planet and pastures thrive.
	<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/QaxdTbf-1R_hDNBKHF_jYOjY1rGfo_6PUobyXDBEUxxWJLKgF8m9fRoFahoVAzLrkAo7LgvgQ1Cyr4RQ7mGWqYsFtBI52vuKINdbmimctsaYsBMuckmCEKmCRQcFbmVbh2MzV0Vcb51J1PnXik6XJdE" style="width: 60%;height: auto">
	Where do Google's suggestions end? Does it stop at recipes or do they start prioritizing plant-based meat over real meat in searches? If this is just the first step in their sustainable sabotage of real meat, then finding the high-quality, nutrient dense, and delicious beef you love will only get harder. This may seem like a small change in their system, but so often we give them an inch and they take a mile. Give them your recipe and they’ll take your steak. Give them time and they’ll take your choice. Real meat deserves to be represented properly; not covered up or misrepresented to the world at large by this change.
	 
	Why We Care: The farms and ranches we partner with are some of the best in the country, and therefore, the world. American agriculture is unmatched in many ways, yet it receives criticism and opposition at every turn. If our agriculture system got investment like the fake meat industry America, how much better off would we be and how much more food would the world have? The fake-meat industry is busy making $50 lab-grown chicken nuggets when small farms and ranches are busy feeding the world and replenishing our land with one of our greatest natural resources: cattle.Lock in your supply of 100% American meat, and lock in your price by subscribing today in our shop. <a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/shop">Shop Here</a>

How 1,000,000 Meals Donated Is Just The Start For Good Ranchers

Buckle up. This one is a doozy. You probably missed it, but in September 2022, the White House hosted a conference that focused on nutrition, health, and hunger in America. Dariush Mozaffarian, who was one of the main organizers of the event and is currently Dean of the Tufts School of Nutrition — presented a newly designed food pyramid that only cost 3 years of time and millions of taxpayer dollars. The new wisdom they found? Lucky Charms are healthier than steak.
	
	Don’t believe me? Here’s some results pulled out of the 
	<a href="https://sites.tufts.edu/foodcompass/research/data/">Tuft Food Compass</a>
	<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/JUP-H_6JosdJzTFPy7bbFwd3lEfTvV8LlSyfO-hKgQfD4fESXxofZZs5DSKe0E2vIjIVicVh5Edhtw0ljFlQ4-8ONEtJyiwuW4pJilA3Ow4gUd2eFppcqrI8zik7Y1I6dnAn3i9IEbzwlBBmzz7Ut3mlXP5W_3AK6_Zi4e8egoexL0SkHmPszVWuuEbZmw" style="width: 90%; height=auto">
	
	Chart is from 
	<a href="https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/eu578/">Limitations of Food Compass</a> Study
	
	As you can see, Lucky Charms receives a 60 while ground beef is at a 26. Beef Steak ranked a little above 30 on the chart, which means both beef items received half the score of Lucky Charms. If we turn our attention to the green section, we see that chocolate covered almonds received a 78 and should “be encouraged” in someone’s diet. Chocolate covered nuts should be encouraged while beef and a majority of commonly consumed meats should be minimized.
	
	This new food pyramid is being touted as the most comprehensive and science-based nutrient profiling system to date, which honestly just isn’t a surprise anymore. This is happening in a country where 
	<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/16/us/politics/congress-blocks-new-rules-on-school-lunches.html?_r=1">congress declared pizza to be a vegetable</a>, and if tomato paste can make pizza a vegetable then maybe luck can make the charms healthy.
	
	The concerning thing is that these ridiculous studies impact the food kids eat day to day at school. They also impact average people’s views of nutrition. There are many variables to the rise in weight gain within America, but a simple chart like the one below cannot be overlooked. Something is causing us to be sicker than ever before in history, and the food we eat labeled “good for us” by others seems to be at the forefront of it.
	<a href="https://twitter.com/jwmares/status/1224821330933096454?s=20&t=6ehaPa-D5-595MAoUi5Icg"><img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-01-12-at-1.57.00-pm.png" style="width: 60%;" alt="" title=""></a> 
	
	
	Hopefully this gets us asking the question, “are these recommendations truly for my benefit or someone else’s?” Only one thing is for certain after looking at all of this information… If this food pyramid is what was found at the end of the lucky charm rainbow, then we no longer want a pot-o-gold. Give us a steak instead.

The new food pyramid put out by the NIH-funded study ranks lucky charms above steak and other meats. It feels like it is trying to flip our diets upside down by recommending "chocolate covered almonds" but telling us to minimize the beef we eat in the same breath. Is this pyramid right or it the unhealthy diet?

New Government Funded “Food-Pyramid” Says Lucky Charms Are Healthier Than Steak

Are you chicken-sick? We've got the cure! If you're tired of eating chicken the same way over and over, then try one of these 4 best ways to cook chicken breasts.

Now, let's jump into the 4 best ways to cook chicken breasts.
	1) Grilled - Sometimes the simplest way is the best! Marinate chicken breasts in your favorite spices, herbs and vinaigrettes before grilling for a delicious meal. One recipe you have to try is our Grilled Chicken Nugget recipe. They taste just like chick-fil-a's famous grilled nuggets, and you can enjoy them right in your own home!

	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/grilled-chicken-nuggets-16.jpg" style="width: 70%; height: auto"> 
	
	2) Skillet / Saucepan - If you're short on time but still want to get a bit creative, sauté chicken breasts in some butter and your favorite spices for a fast weeknight meal.&nbsp;Pan-seared chicken breast sounds simple but it can be a tender, juicy delight. Simply coat the chicken with&nbsp; oil, then season with salt, fresh ground pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and dried basil. A classic dry mix of spices that can go with any side you want to prepare.
	Put some oil in your skillet, and heat over a medium flame. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 8 minutes without flipping (5 minutes for thin-cut breasts). Flip the chicken and then cook on the second side until well browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 165ºF).&nbsp;
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/shutterstock-1273786339.jpg" style="width: 70%; height: auto"> 
	
	You can add some butter to the pan to keep your chicken moist if you're worried about it drying out... plus butter is delicious. One big tip is to not mess with the chicken or move it around a bunch once it’s in the hot pan. Letting it sit until it easily releases helps you get a great crust on your chicken breasts.&nbsp;
	Give your chicken about five minutes to rest before enjoying.
	3) Oven-Baked - You can never go wrong with baked chicken! Preheat the oven, mix chicken breasts with your favorite sauces, seasonings and spices, pop it in the oven, and dinner is served!

	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/cooked-chicken-23.jpg" style="width: 70%; height: auto"> 
	
	4) Slow Cooked - Get all the flavors of chicken without having to lift a finger. Add chicken breasts to your slow cooker and let them simmer away in their own juices for hours as amazing flavor develops. Simply rub the chicken with oil and your favorite blend of spices and set them in the slow-cooker. Time can vary based on what you're cooking in, but a low setting normally takes 4-6 hours and a high setting is done in closer to 3-4 hours. You can start it early in the day and then dream about the delicious chicken that's waiting for you at dinner until it' ready.

These can be cooked at the same time as the chicken so that the whole dinner is done in the oven on 3 different baking sheets. Minimal cleanup, maximum flavor! Use foil on your sheets for even quicker cleanup.

The Chick-fil-a Grilled Nugget Recipe: So Good So Easy

Contrary to what the growing “meatless” trends say, meat is NOT a cheat meal. Meat is not an indulgence but a necessary part of a diet. It does things that other "meat substitutes” can't. Here are the top 7 reasons to eat meat in your 2023 diet. (Lab-grown meat is a growing trend this year, but it's more inhumane than you can imagine. Learn more about why real meat grown in fields is still better for animals and you&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/blog/is-labgrown-meat-about-to-take-over-the-us-food-industry" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">here</a>)<h3>1. MEAT IS A COMPLETE PROTEIN</h3>
	<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zVsv4oCDoFsYQYmOeOovDvyH5i5c7RuvNG-QO9zAT4aK0Fv11w4JOme0AiMsjUUfPpi8WuYjy3Yc5RpRzCZ-rxfxahdoAjfNpiHy_3jk1rs6yduok1yDGwaQPDZp-JC6OqD41GdT5pd_1WD-fG_4JHejFMYWIh0vhf3k63E0-NCNXCAYNQ77FkNRQtsB-g" width="624" height="416" style="width: 80%;">
	A complete protein is one that has all the Amino Acids your body needs. Meat, poultry, and seafood are complete proteins that give you the amino acids you need to break down food, build muscle, boost your immune system, and so much more. Incomplete proteins like seeds, nuts, and vegetables do not give you all the building blocks of health that meat can, and meat does it in such a delicious way too.<h3> 
2. MEAT HELPS WITH WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
 
</h3>
	<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/gcHiMlRMeIKSOiU3xzZFkSfgQHHYzktV2yrbiGc5VjN1VcRLD7zAuVu5Kb57XIPIe0fZxI2JznPcPswUALxsUgmgqf4VWVYQJUfzSqhNfa1sTnHyH_h-ZbhcVaW5uqeh2Ej8CBpL52RbxOJLemI0OqHBN-8R8sZfkWbI4fW4ReXUy1aAkt9qLF1u0jrtRQ" width="624" height="404" style="width: 80%;">
	Research shows that eating protein-rich foods can help you maintain a healthy body weight by making you feel full for longer. It stops you from craving to eat more and filling up on excess calories that can contribute to weight gain. Lean meat and poultry have also been shown to promote long-term weight loss better than other diets. (<a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1007137">NEJM)</a>
	 
	<h3>3. MEAT IS IRON RICH</h3>
	<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/2R9PXg27yBg9OcXA08IoqIF6r6MXZFqAZRnlvVVyrTl0Sqnn2EV4ZmaHnvhrzJCcqA-S-IYdIPNZNktwS-0q1zs7SMAsMTqt2eeYbBCGlzspggk9u5VdjQywH7vb_p-KB3wunfndP_VGGXRlqzyRnO9icqNRiv3MS-PWZ_VLxiKp94y43pUvpcagMVZbjA" width="624" height="416" style="width: 80%;">
	Meat, poultry, and fish contain heme iron. Heme iron is the best form of iron we can get because the body absorbs heme iron better than non-heme iron found in plant foods such as vegetables. Heme iron can help to prevent anemia and even help the body absorb non-heme iron better, which means eating meat helps us get the most out of vegetables.

	Animal products like meat are one of the richest natural sources of vitamin B12, which promotes brain development in children and helps everyone’s nervous system function properly. In societies where meat is not eaten regularly due to socioeconomic conditions and lack of availability, vitamin B12 deficiencies are much more prevalent. (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6611390/">NLM</a>)

	The sentence you thought you’d never hear, but recent studies have shown that substituting lean red meat for some of the carbohydrates in your diet can help lower blood pressure and aid overall heart health - especially in people struggling with hypertension.

The Steak Pasta Recipe You Have To Try

Just a couple weeks ago, Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., recalled <a href="https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/tyson-fresh-meats-inc--recalls-raw-ground-beef-products-due-possible-foreign-matter#:~:text=WASHINGTON%2C%20Nov.%2016%2C%202022,Agriculture's%20Food%20Safety%20and%20Inspection" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">93,697 pounds</a> of raw ground beef that was contaminated with “mirror-like” material. If you often eat ground beef, you probably know that mirrors are not a normal ingredient. The recalled products were sold at grocery stores in Texas. Reports came in from customers about the “mirror-like” contaminants in the ground beef and the recall was issued on November 16th. Some of the meat, and therefore mirrors, could still be in consumer’s homes. If you have any of the meat below, then please throw out the Tyson meat for your safety:<ul>
	<li>10-lb. chubs containing “HILL COUNTRY FARE GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN/ 27% FAT with BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY: NOV 25, 2022.”</li>	<li>5-lb. chubs containing “HILL COUNTRY FARE GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN/ 27% FAT with BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY: NOV 25, 2022.”</li>	<li>5-lb. chubs containing “H-E-B GROUND CHUCK GROUND BEEF 80% LEAN/ 20% FAT.”</li></ul>
	These days, people want to see themselves and their values in the companies they support, but mirrors in your meat might be a bit too far. E.coli and other bacteria are the main reasons for ground beef recalls, so having extraneous material is definitely not the norm. The material in the beef was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11/18/ground-beef-recall-tyson-mirror/">“reflective and hard”</a> both the FSIS and Tyson said.

Black Friday is one of the most popular shopping days of the year. Stores offer deep discounts on items, and shoppers are eager to take advantage of the savings. However, Black Friday is not just a day for finding bargains. It's also a day for giving. Many people use Black Friday as an opportunity to buy gifts for friends and family. In fact, Black Friday has become one of the most popular days for buying gifts. The trend is likely due to the combination of deep discounts and the festive atmosphere surrounding Black Friday. Whatever the reason, Black Friday has become a day for gift-giving, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
	The biggest Black Friday trend is practical gift-giving over tech gifts. Black Friday has always been a popular day for shopping, but in recent years, the trend has shifted from buying gadgets and electronics to buying practical gifts. This shift is likely because many people already have too much technology in their lives and are looking for gifts that meet “needs” instead of “wants”. Another reason for this shift may be the current economy, which has made it more difficult for people to afford expensive electronics. Whatever the reason, it is clear that practical gift-giving is now the biggest trend on Black Friday. More people need some good, hot food instead of the hottest tech device this year.
	In 2023, the meat industry will experience a sharp increase in prices, as a result of inflation. We can expect another 12-15% inflation to kick off at the beginning of 2023. This increase will be driven by several factors, including the rising cost of feedstock and the increasing demand for meat around the world. As a result, consumers can expect to pay significantly more for meat in 2023 than they do today. This is even more reason to give a meat subscription box from us, your friends at Good Ranchers, to your friends and family who like meat. Why? Because all of our subscribers will experience 0% inflation in 2023.

The Top Black Friday Trend Among Gift Givers and Receivers

The FDA has recently signed off on Upside Foods’ cultivated "meat" to be sold to US consumers, continuing the large and government-backed movement to replace our current agricultural system with new, synthetic alternatives. They claim that there are many benefits to lab-grown meat, such as decreased greenhouse gas emissions and no animal cruelty, but we addressed how cruel this process of bioreactors truly is in our previous blog:

	Beyond the cruelty of lab-grown "meat", the biggest problem is that it's not the least bit scaleable or affordable. The current cost of lab-grown meat is easily hundreds of dollars per pound, compared to $4-5 per pound for real meat from real animals. Now children can enjoy

	That report is even more alarming when you consider that the lab-grown "meat" industry has raised billions of dollars in funding, but they still have no clear path to providing a service we can afford or one we even want. Plus, they consistently

Lab Grown Meat Gets Green Light From FDA For Sale To U.S. Consumers

<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/cow-burps-farts-taxed.jpg" style="width: 95%;">
	Yes, you read the headline correctly - the New Zealand government is now wanting to tax all emissions from cattle by 2025. In America, we call this taxation without representation; unless the government agent is there to witness said flatulence. Everyone agrees that whoever smelt it can indeed tax it.
	This new proposal includes the burps, farts, urine, and feces for every animal someone has on their farm. Are these taxes another way that government seeks to undermine the agricultural system? The stated goal of this program is to reduce methane emissions by 24 million metric tons by 2030. However, many farmers feel like this is just another way for the government to make money off of them. Safe to say we cannot let this fart tax pass.
	This past Tuesday, "Federated Farmers of New Zealand reacted furiously to the government’s proposals, stating that they would 'rip the guts out of small town New Zealand.'" The government doesn't seem to take this feedback from farmers seriously, though. The New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, recently said, “No other country in the world has yet developed a system for pricing and reducing agricultural emissions, so our farmers are set to benefit from being first movers." Farmers can rest easy though, because the government has also stated the farm levy would be a world first, and that farmers should be able to recoup the cost by charging more for climate-friendly products. A great marketing strategy from politicians that's sure to spell success for every non-New Zealand farm.
	By developed nations forcing their farmers to leave under these restrictive practices, more farming and producing will be done less efficiently and safely by developing countries. The plan to "reduce emissions" will actually increase emissions abroad along with deforestation. As countries well-versed in sustainable methods are replaced by countries not concerned with the long-term impact of their farming practices, it won't help consumers or the world at large.
	We would consider this big news, but the media hardly covers these big stories that affect people’s access to real meat. It seems they’d prefer these laws be passed silently and deadly. We have to be even more vigilant to make sure they do not waft their laws here to America. It would cut down on productivity seeing as dairy cattle would no longer be able to produce and cut the cheese. All we’re saying is that this is breaking news about breaking wind, and you need to make sure everyone nose about this new fart tax. So share this story with someone who’d pay a lot of taxes if they were a New Zealand cow.

	<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/09/12/executive-order-on-advancing-biotechnology-and-biomanufacturing-innovation-for-a-sustainable-safe-and-secure-american-bioeconomy/">executive order</a> last month on biotechnology and biomanufacturing could pave the way for lab-grown beef, chicken, pork, and seafood to be sold commercially in the US. This order could drive federal agencies to sign off on companies looking to sell lab grown meat (AKA products grown from animal’s cells in a bioreactor).
	We wouldn’t want our meat cooked in something called a bioreactor, let alone have our meat grown in such a thing. Honestly, eating a steak out of a bioreactor sounds like the origin to a meat themed superhero story… so for that reason and that reason alone we’d take a single bite. It may sound silly, but the support behind these companies is huge. 
	<a href="https://www.gourmey.com/">Gourmet</a>, a French startup in this space, just raised 48 million dollars in a Series A funding round to continue making their “<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2022/10/05/gourmey-grabs-48-million-to-keep-working-on-lab-grown-foie-gras/">lab-grown foie gras</a>”.<h3>It's Serious</h3>
	While we like to be lighthearted and fun in our blogs, this is a serious problem. There are many health concerns around the process and methods used to make this synthetic meat that may be overlooked if it is pushed through the process by lobbying and executive orders. The manipulation of cells to grow and reproduce in unnatural environments could require practices that put dangerous things into the lab-grown meat.
	The 
	<a href="https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/blog/6458/is-lab-grown-meat-healthy-and-safe-to-consume">Center For Food Safety</a> says a “particular concern” around lab based meat is “the genetic engineering of cells and their potential cancer-promoting properties”. Turns out, when you make cells replicate in unnatural conditions it could cause cancerous cells to form and multiply. The means by which companies are doing this is not disclosed and oftentimes claimed to be a business “secret”, which means we know almost nothing about what goes into this fake meat.<h3>It's Cruel</h3>
	Another horrible detail of this process is how cruel it is to animals. The lab-grown companies claim to eliminate animal cruelty from the meat industry, but their practices are in reality far more gruesome than you can imagine. A majority of lab-grown meat requires FBS (<a href="https://www.labome.com/method/Fetal-Bovine-Serum.html">Fetal Bovine Serum</a>), which as the name implies, is harvested from a developing cow fetus - a baby cow. It gets worse, FBS is harvested after the mother cow is slaughtered - usually a dairy cow since they are almost always pregnant for milk production. The baby cow is kept alive to extract healthier blood from it. A needle is inserted into its heart and blood is extracted until the young cow dies, which is often 5 minutes later. This practice is detestable and increases the suffering of all animals included.<h3>It's Not Real Meat</h3>
	This fetal serum is the backbone for cell growth in the synthetic meat making process. Though cells naturally want to die when they realize they’re in the wrong place, the FBS labs use along with other growth additives tricks cells into believing they’re in the right place. There quite literally could not be a more unnatural way to grow cells, yet all lab-grown meat is formed in this very way.
	If the taste of lab grown meat doesn’t make you sick, the way it’s made will. It’s unnatural, it’s inhumane to the highest degree, and it has potential dangers no one is addressing. Cattleman associations across this country and the world are upset that this is gaining traction, and we are too. Real meat is not the problem as so many will claim. Real meat is the solution. What is grown in a lab will never be what we can grow in a field. The care, the love, and the people that make up our agricultural system in the United States cannot be replicated in a petri dish. The truth is that real quality cannot be made in a bioreactor. America’s best meat will always come from America’s best farms.

Get Ahead of the Gift-Giving Curve This Holiday Season

Easy dinners are often a night saver and even a life saver when it's been a busy day. Plus, a recipe that only dirties one or two dishes is more magic than instructions. Fortunately, this salsa verde chicken bake recipe is all that and more. It's an easy way to bring tons of flavor to the dinner table without that much time invested. With our triple trimmed chicken breasts, the recipe has even less prep and is that much more tasty. Make sure you try it out with your next box of America's best meat.<h4>INGREDIENTS:&nbsp;</h4>
	4 12 oz jars of Green Salsa&nbsp;
	 
	4 Good Ranchers Chicken Breasts
	 
	4 cups White Cheddar&nbsp;
	 
	1 16 oz jar of Pickled Jalapeños
	 
	15 Small tortillas approx.&nbsp;
	 
	1 bunch of fresh cilantro&nbsp;
	 
	Sour cream (df or regular) &amp; limes suggested for topping&nbsp;<h4>INSTRUCTIONS:</h4>
	1.&nbsp;Top chicken breasts with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper on both sides. Cook on 375 for 45 minutes covered. When it comes out of the oven cut into small pieces, or shred.
	Alternatively If you are really in a pinch you can cook the chicken in a slow cooker in advanced.
2.&nbsp;On the bottom of a 9x13 pan put a small coating of the green salsa. This will prevent the casserole from sticking. Get 3 tortillas and begin to cover the salsa. I usually am able to get two small round tortillas across, and break the third into 4 pieces to roughly cover the rest of the area. There's no right or wrong here- no one will see it!
3.&nbsp;On top of the tortilla you will begin to create the layers. Remember, these ingredients will be spread over 4 layers (3 with chicken). You do not HAVE to create 4 layers however, we would say no less than 3. To start, put the cooked chicken, some shredded cheese, a few pickled jalapeños and some freshly chopped cilantro evenly side to side. To finish it off put some more green salsa over the layer, making sure not to forget the edges so that they don't dry out. Then repeat ending with a layer of tortillas to start the fourth layer.
4.&nbsp;To finish off the top you will coat the top layer with a final spread of shredded cheese, jalapeños, and green salsa (everything except the chicken and cilantro). Then cover and bake on 350 for 40 minutes covered. Continue to cook uncovered for 15 minutes. Note: This recipe is technically fully cooked after the first 40 minutes, if you need dinner sooner you can take it out at 40 minutes! We just like to add that extra subtle golden brown on top.
	To style: Cover the top generously with chopped cilantro and a few squeezes of fresh lime juice.&nbsp;Serve w/ sour cream and a Mexican slaw if you'd like! Don't make this recipe without including the chicken that makes it go from good to great.

Salsa Verde Chicken Bake: A Delicious and Easy Dinner Option

According to the USDA, there were more than 5,760 food recalls in the United States in 2019. Of those recalls, 21% were due to contamination by pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites. While any type of food can be contaminated, meat products are particularly susceptible. In fact, imported meat is more susceptible due to how it is transported and the quality control it undergoes. Here's a closer look at why that is and some of the most notable meat recalls in recent years.
	
	One of the biggest reasons imported meat is more likely to be contaminated is the length of the supply chain. Meat produced in the United States typically goes through just a few steps from farm to table. First, it's raised on a ranch or farm. Then, it's processed at a USDA-inspected facility. Finally, it's distributed to stores or restaurants.
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/cow-banner-975x250.jpg" style="width: 100%;"> 
	
	
	Imported meat, on the other hand, often takes a more circuitous route. For example, beef consumed in the United States that comes from cattle raised in Australia and New Zealand must travel a great distance. The cows are raised in a foreign country - often grass-fed all their lives (see why grass-finished cows aren’t the best:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/blog/truth-grassfinished-beef-doesnt-exist">Here</a>). Then each cow is processed into beef according to the food standards of the country it is in (not America) before being shipped halfway around the world to American supermarkets and restaurants. The lengthy supply chain creates additional opportunities for contamination at every step along the way.
	
	In addition, imported meat is often sourced from countries with lower food safety standards or less robust agricultural structures than the United States. For example, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/exclusive-us-sees-spike-contaminated-australian-meat-shipments-documents-2021-10-27/">Australia has had higher food recall rates than other countries in recent years</a>. We’ve also seen recalls for food coming from New Zealand, and concern still surrounds Brazilian meat since years ago there were found to be<a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-j-f-brazil-crime-idUKKBN26Z2FZ"> bribes going on in their meat industry</a> - some of these bribes leading to contaminated food being falsified as safe and other malicious tactics to sell dangerous cuts to American supermarkets for profit.
	
	Maybe those feel too far from home to matter, but <a href="https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/fsis-issues-public-health-alert-specific-ground-beef-hellofresh-meal-kits-due">HelloFresh</a> - a prominent food subscription service - just had an alert put out about their ground beef due to a dangerous strain of E.coli being found present in the product shipped out from July 2nd- July 21st. The <a href="https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/fsis-issues-public-health-alert-specific-ground-beef-hellofresh-meal-kits-due">report</a> states, “the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert due to concerns that ground beef products in HelloFresh meal kits may be associated with Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 illness.” This shows how quickly contaminated food can make it into America’s homes and how higher standards are needed to provide you with the food you can truly trust.
	
	One of the concerning issues about foreign and imported meat is that U.S. food safety inspectors only physically examine and/or test a small subset of imported meat. According to food industry experts, the rejections we’re seeing with foreign products suggest that other contaminated and dangerous shipments may have made it through the United States border.
	
	“‘<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/exclusive-us-sees-spike-contaminated-australian-meat-shipments-documents-2021-10-27/">That probably means you have a lot of contamination that’s not visible,</a>’ said Dr. Barbara Kowalcyk, assistant professor at Ohio State University’s Department of Food Science and Technology.” This should lead us to reconsider what we’re buying at the store. The lowest price meat may have the highest chance of contamination. You need to know the source and trust the source.&nbsp;
	
	Nothing can give you more peace of mind than 100% American meat that is not only inspected but graded by the USDA. Sourced from real farms and ranches with <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/about" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">standards of excellence</a> that go beyond any governmental standard. Don’t put your food safety in the hands of systems that continue to fail. Foodborne illnesses can have serious consequences, and the grocery store and other online subscriptions have poor track records in that area. Don’t just get your meat news from us; get all the meat you need. No antibiotics. No hormones. No recalls. Just real, American meat that’s quality cannot be beat.

The Dangers of Imported Meat: Why You Should Buy American

A new policy in the Netherlands is about to have a major impact on the meat industry—and not in a good way. Starting in 
	<a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/dutch-town-ban-meat-ads-public-spaces-climate-change-report" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">2024</a>, the city of Haarlem will ban all adverts for meat products. This means that meat companies will no longer be able to advertise their products in most all public spaces. The goal of this policy is to “encourage” people to eat less meat, which they hope will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
	This is a continuation of actions taken against the Netherlands’ farming sector, which is the second largest exporter of food in the world. Even though the farming sector reached $100 billion last year and continues to innovate - policies are continually put in place to stifle their growth. If other nations follow suit and adopt similar policies, it could spell disaster for the agricultural industry as we know it. Here's what you need to know about this upcoming meat ban and how it could affect America's meat industry.<h2>The Negative Impact of the Ban</h2>
	The Dutch government's decision to ban meat advertising is just one part of its larger plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By discouraging people from eating meat, the government hopes to reduce overall demand for the product. If this line of thinking holds true for any other countries that are major food exporters, then we’re in trouble.
	This policy is likely to have a negative impact on the Dutch economy. The Dutch meat industry employs over 10,000 people and generates around 
	<a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/cmo/food/meat/netherlands">€10 billion in revenue</a> each year. If demand for meat decreases, it could lead to mass layoffs and force many companies out of business. Moreover, it won’t only hurt the Netherlands, but every country that depends on their exports to feed their own people.
	What's more, the ban could also lead to an increase in prices for consumers. With less competition in the market, companies will be able to charge higher prices for their products without fear of losing business to cheaper alternatives. All of this will make quality food harder for the lower and middle classes to find, afford, and enjoy.
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/three-meats-on-knife.jpg" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; width: 100%; height: auto"><h2>How This Affects America</h2>
	While the Netherlands' ban on meat advertising won't have a direct impact on America's economy, it could set a precedent for other nations to follow suit. If more and more countries adopt similar policies, it could mean serious trouble for America's $170 billion-a-year meat industry. 2024 is not that far off for the Netherlands, and it may not be that far off for our country if this concept makes it's way across the sea. Meat, before we know it, could be cancelled.<h2>Don't Eat Bugs - Eat Beef</h2>
	There are many who want to push us towards plant-based, insect-made, and lab-grown meat. We are not one of those people. We love the quality of American meat and believe it cannot be beat or imitated. If you enjoy real meat that's high quality, then you should shop with us.

The Impact of The Netherlands' Upcoming Ban on Meat

The cost of plant-based "meat" is too high. It will cost us our favorite food. It will cost millions of jobs in the meat industry. We cannot absorb protein from plant-based "meat" as well as from real meat, so it costs us vital nutrition. Most of all, it costs us MEAT.
	It feels wrong to call anything&nbsp;“meat”&nbsp;that is plant-based. Meat is most often defined as the "flesh of an animal as food". Ground up soybeans and wheat shaped into a burger will never count. Why don’t we just reverse the equation and make meat based plants? Honestly it sounds like our kind of healthy side to eat with our steak, but it’s silly to think that simply mimicking the look of something makes it into that thing.
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/giphy-1-.gif" style="width: 70%;">
	So why are people trying to push this fake meat in the market and onto our plates? There are a few reasons.
	Some people think that eating plant-based "meat" is more humane. They believe that by not eating meat, we will be sparing the lives of animals. However, the production of plant-based meat is anything but humane. The soybeans used to make fake meat are often grown in South America, where rainforest land is being cleared to make room for soy plantations. This is devastating to the environment and the indigenous people who live there. Also, if you upend the meat industry, over 5 million Americans will have their income and jobs put in jeopardy. That is a cost of plant-based meat.
	Other people think that plant-based meat is healthier for us and superior in terms of nutritional benefits, but this simply isn't true. Our bodies are designed to absorb protein from animal sources much more efficiently than from plants. In fact, a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jafc.2c01711"></a>study&nbsp;published by the&nbsp;<a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jafc.2c01711">Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry</a> has shown that we do not absorb as many essential or non-essential amino acids from meat substitutes as we do from meat itself. This is likely due to the fact that proteins in substitutes do not break down into peptides as well as those from meats.
	And then there are the people who are pushing plant-based meat because they stand to make a lot of money from it. Big food companies and venture capitalists are investing billions of dollars in the fake meat industry, and they're doing everything they can to get us to switch from real meat to their products. They even have prominent figures eating bugs as if it’s “trendy”. This video of Nicole Kidman eating worms quite literally puts the creepy in creepy crawlies.
	<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/CN7swbWDcVI1jbwE9uj1XHHUnXtBLaUguT-v7oSASyjNRFmYjYGtGEbN5NaIgvKkB7l3wGnoXgL-W9Xf8aOdSxBWcpB_3bdF4RZ1YDDD_r44LXLWHAs0u31Zg4fyCQtEQgqOVQ7Q29ie3dZ9dsB3iS4" width="421" height="237" style="width: 70%;">
	Skip the bugs and big corporations. Fortunately, you can get all the real meat you need from local farms and ranches all based in America at our store right now.&nbsp;
	The final reason is that meat is just better. It’s infinitely better and more satisfying than a patty made of plants seasoned by insects. For centuries meat has been at the center of a good meal. Holidays have signature meats to prepare for them. Tables at a banquet hall to celebrate a momentous occasion are not riddled with plants and insects with high protein potential. The chefs put their star of the night at the center - the one worth the most and sought after the most. What dish do you see when you picture that moment? Safe to say - it’s a dish with real meat.

The Meat Recession is coming. Why? We've all seen and felt the steep price increases on our favorite meats over the past year. Inflation kept outdoing itself month after month after month. This was in large part due to the fact that feed for farmers was at an all time high; the production costs of meat had soared and this increase was passed onto us, the consumer. Recently, the cost of feed has dropped for the first time in months, but lower prices are not on the horizon according to experts. Here are the 3-reasons why the meat recession is coming<h2>Reason 1: The Cattle Herd Is Shrinking</h2>
	According to <a href="https://downloads.usda.library.cornell.edu/usda-esmis/files/h702q636h/tq57pz24k/cz30r103f/catl0722.pdf">USDA data</a>, the US cattle herd is down 2% from where it was in July of 2021. A contributing factor to the decline has been the droughts impacting Texas ranchers. Many of these herds are being sold to markets when they normally wouldn’t be brought for years. This is due to lack of water, high feed prices, or financial pressure on the farmers and ranchers themselves. Not just Texas herds have shrunk though. The money to be made during pandemic meat prices pushed many farms and ranches to cash in on cattle that would not have normally been sold.
	<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/wo1gbqa4BfDWHPX9z6Zu-KlqOgadigdG0Lu4lA_TVaTx-Rp4sKfYjSZuWZRzYX7etdgD-KvXXjrowSWJLb9N7T7NqlQAMKHDXgP7vOdPOlLDl7arwIB9hweNYH0QOhDpXjBUN-P6ctFuvVPDXj5kABc" width="100%" height="auto" "="">
	
	Selling cattle is fine if we can replace the herd quickly, but “<a href="https://agrilifetoday.tamu.edu/2022/07/26/shrinking-cattle-herd-could-equal-high-calf-beef-prices/">replacement heifers</a> – the young, future calf-producing cows – are at their lowest point nationally since USDA began keeping numbers in 1973.” We could be looking at a lengthier recovery than the 2011 droughts imposed on the market. Scarcity and steep prices are still on the horizon, but we’re going to show you how to lock in the price you pay for beef at the end of this article.<h2>
Reason 2: Beef Shortage = Chicken Shortage</h2>
	
	When one protein becomes harder to afford or find, people gravitate towards a new one that has a better price or easier access. As affordable beef has become harder to find - not at Good Ranchers though - people have turned to chicken. Unfortunately the price increases have even hit poultry. The <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.t02.htm">Consumer Price Index</a> shows a 16.4% increase in the price of chicken from Jan-Apr of this year. With the Bird-Flu outbreak that happened earlier this year, the USDA is forecasting <a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings/">continued price increases</a> for chicken in 2022.
	<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/O6RSEJ7xeJJJSaKVywBMOM3s7H-Uc7U0e-iiQY3SovNApbSoi7qzQxAsFVDWOwd_1rWcc4yihOtZ3Mwig2zSbW0j74NrbzsqUjL1p5MCbcPpSidHtCKkemqvR0x90exz_VnzrxMAIMMiBxiBsFP_b5E" style="width: 50%;" alt="" title="">
	As more people are giving up the meat they love for the meat they can find, chicken will become more scarce and more expensive. Worker shortages in the processing plants have made pre cut and pre-trimmed pieces of chicken even harder to find - and very pricey when available. Lucky for you that all of our chicken is triple trimmed and always in stock to be shipped to your door. Plus, you can lock in your price on chicken too - before it goes out of your price range as well. We'll tell you how after point #3!<h2>
Reason 3: A Meat Tax Is Coming?</h2>
	
	According to FAIRR, a carbon tax that’s attached to farm animal emissions is quickly <a href="https://www.fairr.org/article/meat-companies-may-face-11bn-carbon-tax-bill/">gathering momentum</a>, especially in Europe. This tax would put direct pressure on farms and ranches to reduce their emissions by significant margins. If you didn’t know - to cut emissions by large margins you must cut your herd size. A meat tax would be devastating to any farm or ranch trying to make a living for themselves while providing affordable products for others.
	<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/aMzMKivDWHYaPwRnNKzyslAj9SUnA4uhypJ2F7XZhmjy05Da5XyTRa_qdLq3le5D3jlq9bE-XJBJ8mkMMi0DkMnJLXG9CIP-uLNi2JjpN2yvm5NGrouTwet75xFjEWOfXliPgvpAwTGPuA5-fHPcYeg" width="100%" height="auto">
	
	We’re seeing the impact of this with <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62335287">Dutch farmers</a> right now as they protest over emission cuts. The Dutch farmers are amazing at what they do, and this tax is tying their hands. This is certainly something to keep your eyes on. The independent farms and ranches we work with here in America cannot sustain and should not have to sustain such a tax. American agriculture is the heart of our country, and we want to support it in every way we can. You can support American farms by locking in your price on 100% American meat. Here’s How!<h2>SOLUTION: LOCK IN YOUR PRICE</h2>
	
	When you subscribe to any box of Good Ranchers, we lock in your price. We don’t just lock it in for a week or a month. We lock your price in for the life of your subscription! If that sounds too good to be true - it’s because we specialize in “too good to be true”. Our quality, our price, and our mission is all too good to be true, but guess what? It is true.

The Meat recession is coming. Beef, chicken, and seafood prices are going up and their availability is going down. See the top 3 reasons this is happening and discover the secret to locking in your low price on all meat you buy.

The Meat Recession is coming. Why? We've all seen and felt the steep price increases on our favorite meats over the past year. Inflation kept outdoing itself month after month after month. This was in large part due to the fact that feed for farmers was at an all time high; the production costs of [...]

The Best Arugula Chicken Dip Recipe...Ever

Our shorelines are constantly under erosion by the beating waves of the ocean. Are America’s independently owned agricultural lands eroding from wave after wave of private and corporate investment? The stats are both encouraging and disheartening. The most recent 
	<a href="https://editions.mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?m=61105&amp;i=733821&amp;p=1&amp;ver=html5" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">Land Report</a> released shines a bit of light on who is staking their claim to America’s soil. These are not top owners of farmland or pastureland - just land in general. For example the top land owner is the Emmerson Family out of California. They are a giant in the timber business - so their land is for trees - not crops or animals.
	<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/EHi13LTuIVDsnGm53r5sxOGPBXLRE03ozS9XZCaEhbJ7lRxaUy6qXxcWZhPJLAuMUl0sOxD8Tb6yRUcGs1Qzbf78FqTI-i78Kz-17jA3oT7ALFizAVXTWMrTDcGHB5_BpMJkNrAuvioIFLVqntjy3OY" width="390" height="479" style="width: 353px;">

	Within the land report, we do find that Bill Gates is the largest private owner of America’s farmland with 269,000 acres owned at the time of publishing. These holdings are throughout the country in over a dozen states. While this is a significant amount of land - there are about 900 million acres of farmland in America, so Gates’ portfolio comes in at less than half a percent of total farmland in the country.&nbsp;
	Recent censuses of farmland and pastureland in the U.S still shows that they both are&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/land-use-land-value-tenure/farmland-ownership-and-tenure/">majorly owner-operated</a> and still primarily in the hands of small to mid-sized farms. This is no reason to hold back from asking questions about individuals amassing farm and pasture lands though. One concern we can see in the future is that farmland in particular is being rented at higher and higher rates. 2014 data from the USDA shows that a majority of cropland is rented. 
	<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/8SCZc7jZhZK1rIbTvXOUy-zwJnXQaYdCqFY7IJduj2GaAevE4B6OJMXyQ3Qy5xLEhvxfoglxE4R7z8LR6hUTaMriLSPYqXDmskWlobgnhjfoJer0XnAnpIwFJDI9aRHkfdxWWHLpMo20IQgEO8JCllM" width="100%" height="auto">
	Why is this a concerning trend? According to the same USDA article that supplied this graph’s data, “smaller family farm operators are more likely to be full owners of land they operate.” As we move further and further away from ownership - we are losing more and more of the independent small farms and ranches that helped build American agriculture. We only partner with independent farms and ranches here in the U.S., and we would hate to see them become renters instead of owners. There is power in ownership of land - and the more renting we see - the more there may be a consolidation of that power.
	Even more odd than Gates’ owning hundreds of thousands of acres in farmland is countries like China owning just as much. Yes, China currently owns over <a href="https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/economic-and-policy-analysis/afida/index">352,000 acres </a>of land - 190,000 of those acres being agricultural - here in the United States. According to a USDA report, “foreign persons held an interest in nearly 35.2 million acres of U.S. agricultural land as of December 31, 2019.” The way we can help hold the line on foreign and corporate land acquisition is by making sure to support independent farms and ranches so that they don’t have to sell to larger corporations at closing.

Is The Chicken Supply Running Low? You Won't Expect Why!

Have you recently bought ground meat from the store? Well your ground chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, and ground pork could be unsafe more often than you think according to a recent <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/ground-meats/is-our-ground-meat-safe-to-eat-a2700598982/" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">Consumer Report</a>. The group doing research purchased <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/ground-meats/is-our-ground-meat-safe-to-eat-a2700598982/" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">351</a> packages of assorted ground meats. After testing, they found that nearly a third of the ground chicken packages contained salmonella, and many of the other meats were found with this bacteria as well. This obviously is a much higher presence of dangerous bacteria in ground meats than aimed for by the industry. With even big name brands present in the study, it can leave many consumers uneasy about the products they know and bring into their homes.
	<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/a1BEHW9DrWN9mWmGRk8OXRbmQYukRQTbzoyQIZgMXoe8GRibPGCccb9ewmda9QBjPn8Q4y04ZJPm_BbRJatUnFZSI53viQo5DBWbp559_zCt1-fWI24weREpKNUQZpNc5qA8kzfQAbqMGZMJ3w" style="width: 70%; height: auto">
	Even more alarming than the salmonella cases was one case of 
	<a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/escherichia-coli-o157-h7">O157:H7</a> in a package of ground beef, which is a potentially deadly strain of E. coli. When Consumer Reports found this they reported it to the USDA, and this resulted in a <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/food-recalls/ground-beef-recalled-due-to-deadly-e-coli-risk-a2991753727/">recall</a> of over 28,000 pounds of ground beef. James E. Rogers, PhD, who’s currently the director of food safety and research at <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/ground-meats/is-our-ground-meat-safe-to-eat-a2700598982/">Consumer Reports</a> and is a former official of the USDA said, “that bacteria should not have been in the meat, period…There is a zero-tolerance policy for that bacteria, and for good reason: It’s hard to treat, and can kill.”
	This recall pulled meat from the shelves of major supermarkets like Albertsons, Walmart, and more. Nearly a dozen brand names of products were compromised since they're all packaged under the same meat processing company: Interstate Meat Distributors. This recall is only a couple month after other recalls that amounted to over 
	<a href="https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/lakeside-refrigerated-services-recalls-ground-beef-products-due-possible-e--coli">120,000</a> pounds of potentially contaminated beef with E. coli. To top it off, earlier this year the Food Safety and Inspection Service put out a <a href="https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/fsis-issues-public-health-alert-ground-beef-products-due-possible-e-coli-o26#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20April%2027%2C%202022%2C%20%E2%80%93,no%20longer%20available%20for%20purchase.">Public Alert</a> about possible contamination in six different ground beef products - many carried at Kroger. In the wake of all these food uncertainties, what can we do?

	The safety and reliability of your food is of the utmost importance. Not only in being able to find it when you need it, but being able to trust it when you eat it. These recalls show that just abiding by industry standards are not enough. Meat providers can’t just do “enough”, they need to do their best. That’s why we partner with independent farms &amp; ranches here in the US who believe in doing their best and producing the best. Every box of ours is filled with beef that not only receives the highest USDA grades of Prime &amp; Upper Choice, but passes our own <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/about">standards of excellence</a>.&nbsp;The same goes for our <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/shop">Better Than “Organic” Chicken</a>. Why is it better? Because its quality goes beyond the requirements of a label. It’s even true about our seafood - nothing fishy about it.

Ground Meats Riddled With E-Coli and Salmonella, Report Finds

No need to worry about GMO products only being in your vegetable aisle at the grocery store anymore. Thanks to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you can now find GMO products in your meat aisle too. The FDA brought <a href="https://www.drugs.com/news/fda-says-gene-edited-cattle-safe-eat-103975.html" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">GMO Beef</a> one step closer to your table by greenlighting gene-edited cattle to enter the U.S. food market. Yes, you read that right. Not only was this quietly done, but it also was reportedly fast tracked into this stage of approval.

	If you didn’t know, some IGA salmon and pig species already exist. IGAs are <a href="https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/biotechnology-products-cvm-animals-and-animal-food/intentional-genomic-alterations-igas-animals" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">Intentional Genomic Alterations</a> made to an animal. Cattle are simply the latest animal to be modified in this way. It’s being welcomed into the market with less testing and approval processes than the first two IGAs of salmon and pig, which could be cause for concern since there are still many unknowns surrounding how these alterations will impact the cattle, their meat, and the people who consume it.
	This gene-edited species of cattle was created by Recombinetics. According to reports about their alterations, these cattle had their “genes altered with a technology called <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/genomicresearch/genomeediting/">CRISPR</a> to have short, slick coats that help withstand hot weather. Cattle that aren’t stressed by heat might gain more weight, making for more efficient meat production.” With this project already having the runway approved by the FDA, we could see GMO beef from this program hit the market in less than two years. We’re still unsure how the product will be labeled to differentiate it to consumers - if it will be at all.

	Why is this a big deal? Bigger, better, faster beef is always great, right? Wrong. Great beef and great meat starts with a great process; a transparent one that you can trust in and rely on. One study in the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3791249/#:~:text=The%20biggest%20threat%20caused%20by,which%20are%20immune%20to%20antibiotics." style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">National Library of Medicine</a> outlined the dangers of Genetically Modified food products well when it said, “the biggest threat caused by GM foods is that they can have harmful effects on the human body. It is believed that consumption of these genetically engineered foods can cause the development of diseases which are immune to antibiotics… these foods are new inventions, not much is known about their long term effects on human beings.” 
	
	In our opinion, this adds a whole new meaning to the phrase “mystery meat”. Not only is the meat itself a mystery, but the process still remains mainly in the shadows for most Americans. Explaining how it is done is one thing, but explaining why it should be done is even more important. It is in that realm that we feel they have not made a compelling argument. The unknowns of GMOs and IGAs outnumber the knowns 10 to 1. It's hard to believe that the safety and consistency of this process can match what great farms &amp; ranches already do. Until then, there is no reason to reinvent meat. In our opinion - meat is great the way it is - especially ours.

	If you like to know where your meat comes from, then you need to change the way you shop for meat. The grocery store is currently full of imported meat from overseas - over <a href="https://www.redbriarhighlands.com/articles">85% of grass-fed beef</a> is imported from overseas. Even worse than that though, is soon they’ll be selling you beef made in an American lab, and a foreign lab soon after that.

GMO CATTLE - FDA APPROVES GENETICALLY MODIFIED BEEF

The New York Strip is an accessible steak that can provide a phenomenal flavor and real steakhouse experience when done right. There are lots of ways to prepare it, but in this recipe blog we will show you one of our personal favorites for cooking a NY Strip Steak. Before we get to the recipe, let’s explore what makes a New York Strip a great steak and how we can bring the best out of it.&nbsp;<h2>The New York Strip:</h2>
	The New York Strip is a great steak to cook consistently because you can normally get them USDA Prime for less than Choice Ribeyes and Filets. They are usually available at most stores, and are not difficult to prepare with the right ingredients and recipe. One of the best places to get affordable, 100% American, and USDA Prime Steaks is at our Good Ranchers&nbsp;<a href="http://www.goodranchers.com">Shop</a><ul>
	<li>Where is it cut from? New York Strips are cut from the back or spine of the cattle. They come both bone-in and boneless. The NY Strips neighbor, the cut on the other side of the bone from it, is the filet mignon. Which means when it has a good amount of marbling and is cooked right, it can provide a bite that’s on par with some of the best and most expensive cuts served in steakhouses.</li>	<li>What to Look For?&nbsp;A great steak starts with a great farm and process. Finding a place - like us at Good Ranchers - that creates a consistently excellent experience is key. We precisely cut each steak, age it to perfection, and flash freeze it to make sure it reaches you at its best every time. Beyond that, the main factor to look for visually is an even distribution of marbling. Look at the image below as an example. Which steak is a better buy? 
	 
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/two-ny-strips-on-butcher-paper.jpg" style="max-width:600px;width:100%"> 
	 
	The one on the left has more marbling throughout the beef. It probably would grade closer to choice from the USDA. The one on the right has little to no marbling throughout it. That means it is a much leaner cut and can dry out quicker during the cook and have less flavor overall. It would probably be a Select grade or lower. USDA Upper-Choice and Prime are the way to go - and that’s all we sell! Hint hint, wink wink. Okay, to the New York Strip recipe!
	</li></ul>
	 
	<h2>The Best New York Strip Steak Ingredients</h2><ul>
	<li>3/4 - 1 pound New York Strip Steak</li>	<li>1/3 Stick Butter</li>	<li>4 Cloves of Garlic</li>	<li>2 Sprigs of Rosemary</li>	<li>10 Sprigs of Italian Parsley</li>	<li>10 Sprigs of Mint</li>	<li>1/4 cup Olive Oil</li>	<li>2 Slices Dehydrated Truffle (Optional)</li>	<li>8 oz Baby Bella Mushroom</li>	<li>1/2 tsp. Dried Thyme</li>	<li>1 tsp. Garlic Powder</li>	<li>1 tsp. Onion Powder</li>	<li>(To Taste) Salt</li>	<li>(To Taste) Black Pepper</li></ul><h2>Cooking Instructions For Our New York Strip Recipe</h2>
	1. Season your Steak with Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Onion Powder on all sides. Let the steak sit for at least 1 hour in your fridge on a wire rack or season immediately before adding into a pan. The wire rack method is recommended.&nbsp;2. In a hot pan with Avocado Oil sear the fat cap of the steak to render the fat.&nbsp;
	3. After the Fat is golden brown sear both sides of the steak to get a nice crust.&nbsp;
	4. After you have gotten a good sear on both sides and drop the heat to medium low and add your butter, Rosemary, 3 cloves of crushed garlic.&nbsp;
	
	5. Once the butter melts and begins to bubble/foam, spoon the butter with the aromatics over the steak for about 30 second on each side or until cooked to your desired temperature.&nbsp;
	6. Thinly Slice your Mushrooms and add a tiny knob of butter into a pan on medium low heat.&nbsp;
	7. Add the mushrooms to the pan after the butter is melted and season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme, then mix.&nbsp;
	8. Cook mushrooms for 4 minutes or until they are soft, then take them off the heat.&nbsp;
	9. Finely Chop your parsley and Mint leaves (separate the steams from the leaves, you only want the leaves).&nbsp;
	10. In a bowl add 1 clove of minced garlic and your herbs, then add your olive oil in, optimally add the dehydrated Truffles.&nbsp;
	11. Plate and Enjoy!

</iframe>
	Important Notes:
	We recommend preparing the chimichurri an hour ahead of time so the herbs flavor gets infused into the olive oil. We also recommend using a cast iron or stainless steel skillet/pan to cook your steak.&nbsp;
	Cook your steak to your desired temperature. Using a meat thermometer on the steak is a great way to get exactly what you want. Pull the steak off the heat when it is 5 degrees less than your desired temp since the steak continues to cook once removing from the pan.

<h2>What Happened To The Cattle in Kansas?</h2>In the last week, shocking videos started circulating, claiming a heatwave killed cattle in southwest Kansas. Many people were curious and skeptical about the cause of these deaths. The footage came out showing fields lined with hundreds cattle that passed away in Kansas. News began to report that up to 10,000 cattle were dead in the state due to extreme temperatures over the past few days. You can see footage of the events below.<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uMQsV0Vcr6s" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe>Current reports from the Kansas Department of Health account for at least 2,000 cattle deaths due to high temperatures and humidity as of Tuesday, June 14th, spokesperson Matthew Lara commented. This toll only represents facilities that reached out to the agency for help with carcass disposal, he said.According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/heat-humidity-kill-least-2000-kansas-cattle-state-says-2022-06-15/" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc</a>, "Temperatures reached 108 degrees Fahrenheit (42 degrees Celsius) in northwest Kansas by Monday". This huge spike in temperature, paired with an increase of humidity and decrease in cooling winds lead to the large amounts of cattle passing due to heat stress. Normally, cattle can dissipate the excess heat at night, but these increased temperatures did not let up in the evening, which added to the perfect storm of stress on the cattle. Without ample water or a cooling system, the stress the animals endure at that temperature is unfortunately deadly when prolonged.The amount of cattle that passed in Kansas could be higher than 2000, since that number only accounts for cattle that the department was reached out to about for disposal assistance. Even if more than 2000 cattle passed away, that is not enough to cause a severe disruption in the meat industry. There are currently over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2022/01-31-2022.php">90 million</a> head of cattle in the United States, and while thousands being lost is tragic, it is not an event that should draw so much conspiracy.&nbsp; Any amount of lost cattle for those ranches is unfortunate. With increased feed prices due to the lack of corn exports from Ukraine or Russia, cattle producers are already working on thinner margins, so our hearts go out to anybody impacted by this heat wave. Our mission is to help independent American farms & ranches, and episodes like this can really jeopardize a small farm or ranch. Each head of cattle is worth around&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kake.com/story/46700017/thousands-of-cattle-die-from-heat-stress-in-southwest-kansas">$2000</a>, so the losses of this event are tremendous for many Americans.We know you could be worried or concerned with current shortages and inflation continuing to rise. Know that we have diligently worked to secure our supply chain and keep high-quality foods available to you. Our partner farms and ranches were thankfully unaffected by these recent temperature surges and we'd love to supply you with 100% American meat. Our beef is born, raised, and harvested here in the United States. That may sound unnecessary to say, but over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/blog/how-us-beef-imports-are-hurting-americans" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">85% of Grass-Fed beef</a> sold in stores and by other online competitors is imported from overseas.You can shop online with confidence knowing where your meat comes from when you shop with us.Get New York Strips, Ribeyes, Sirloins, Burgers, Pre-trimmed Chicken Breasts and more at our online <a href="http://www.goodranchers.com/">SHOP</a> today!

The Best List Of 50 Dad Jokes To Ever Exist

Ironically, after revoking the Country Of Origin Labeling in 2015, the USDA is looking into confusion around the “Product of USA” label. The USDA defines the law as follows: “Country of Origin Labeling (C.O.O.L) is a labeling law that requires retailers, such as full-line grocery stores, supermarkets and club warehouse stores, to notify their customers with information regarding the source of certain foods.” (
	<a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/cool#:~:text=Country%20of%20Origin%20Labeling%20(COOL)%20is%20a%20labeling%20law%20that,the%20source%20of%20certain%20foods." style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">USDA</a>)
	
	Why would consumers be confused about these labels now? They’re confused because meat that is imported from overseas and then minimally processed in the United States can receive a “Product of USA” label. Yes, you read that right. The 
	<a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/cool/questions-answers-consumers">C.O.O.L Law</a> used to require that meat coming from New Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, and other foreign countries be labeled as products of their home countries, but now those foreign products cannot be differentiated from local, American goods in our supermarkets and grocery stores. This has effectively stripped all Americans of their right to know where the products they buy and consume come from.
	<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/4nBnDAv5U9b9R03fbReeT4gCOepAmACDlovtWotSEllPH46xMh2_VLCdkIgi8SUSiU9qPuxMTJnbMQUvKZNs5o2BGnjPAOUZ5JPMKVyEID0nRfyMbnIDIQu7K7TPBhTEMRSNPIbEHC6qWTb1XQ" style="width: 100%; height: auto">
	Buyers used to have a lot more of the information they needed in the meat aisle before the C.O.O.L law was revoked in 2015. Today, cuts of beef and pork and ground beef and pork are not subject to any country of origin labeling. (<a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/FAQs%20-%20COOL%20Beef%20Pork%20Repeal.pdf" style="background-color: initial; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">C.O.O.L</a>) Now foreign meat is disguised by a once valuable label that now almost means nothing. A “Product of the USA” label on a beef or pork package today has the same value as a “Product of Precipitation” label on a puddle in the road. Any piece of meat can be partially processed here in the States and receive a “Product of USA” Label, so what does the label really mean now?
	<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/mmzgMB_pY92DqGGpb_jeMaSUKTaVKwk_YrT9Sa9PTVokPxATJOUqBHSBWKxm107OvxGzK6QIAtuLu89bOyzfHVthtLrcZrTxfk2m_V1UAZnwEtoSEMEgoShd4ug06Gq3H8lwjUiW1tR91ZJo1w" style="width: 100%; height: auto;" alt="Seinfeld gif - It means nothing!" title="Seinfeld gif - It means nothing!">
	To analyze people’s opinions on this issue, the USDA is now conducting a 
	<a href="https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2021/07/01/usda-announces-efforts-promote-transparency-product-usa-labeling">survey and review</a> to see if people care about labeling and if this specific “Product of USA” label policy seems misleading. This is all about seven years too late if you ask us, but here’s how we imagine that survey going… (Not a real survey conducted by the USDA... we think)
	USDA Interviewer: So what do you think a “Product of USA” label means when you see one at the store?
	Interviewee: Uh, that it’s a product… of the USA.
	
	USDA Interviewer: Right… and if it wasn’t necessarily a “Product of the USA” and actually a foreign product that was flown into the country a week ago would that feel… I don’t know… misleading?
	Interviewee: Yes.
	
	USDA Interviewer: Really? Well thanks for that insight. We’ll interview 100 more people over 10 years and then maybe make a decision.

Ironically, after revoking the Country Of Origin Labeling in 2015, the USDA is looking into confusion around the “Product of USA” label. The USDA defines the law as follows: “Country of Origin Labeling (C.O.O.L) is a labeling law that requires retailers, such as full-line grocery stores, supermarkets and club warehouse stores, to notify their customers [...]

The USDA Investigates Confusion Around “Product of USA” Label

This summer is hot! Mostly from all the grills firing up. Maybe you're an expert wanting to shake off that winter rust, or this is the first summer you want to try your hand at grilling, either way these tips are for you! These eight grilling tips will get you right on your way to making this summer the tastiest yet.
	1: CLEAN YOUR GRILL. Don’t let the last thing you grilled show up on tonight's plate. It's super simple to get your grill clean and ready to cook evenly and cleanly! You can use a metal brush to clean the grates when the grill is hot - makes everything come off easier. Watch our Video on how to clean your grill&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcq0tC87N-o&amp;lc=UgywxkCvb1gBiAEbY_t4AaABAg">here</a>.
	2: TWO WORDS - MEAT THERMOMETER. You are not a magician and you do not have x-ray vision to see when that meat is fully cooked. Sure, you can go by the feel of the meat - if it's soft like the area under your thumb it's definitely not fully done. But instead of guessing if the meat is as soft as your thumb and possibly serving raw meat, you can just spend $20 and get a solid meat thermometer to always know what temp your protein is at.
<div>
	
		<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/shutterstock-1523668007.jpg" style=" height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: auto">
		
	
	
		3: CHECK YOUR FUEL REGULARLY. The worst thing is when you fire up that grill and get it to temp only to run out of propane, or to buy the meat and realize you are out of charcoal or pellets and didn't buy any at the store. If you are planning on grilling, check your fuel to make sure you can get the grill HOT and keep it hot.
	
	
		4: ROOM TEMPERATURE MEATS. Letting meat come to temperature out of the fridge for half an hour before grilling will help it cook more evenly. If you cook with cold or even frozen meats, the cooking time is going to be thrown way off and the cut will be cooked more uneven than a bad haircut.
		
	
	
		
		5: 
		UNDERCOOK YOUR FOOD. Yes, you read that right. Your meat will continue to cook after you take it off the grill. Carryover cooking is real and it has dried out food every summer since the beginning of grilling. Plan for food temperature to increase around five degrees after leaving the grill.
		
	
	
		<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/wagyu-beef-burgers-on-bbq-copy.jpg" style=" height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: auto">
		
	
	
		6: LOW &amp; SLOW. Some thicker cuts of meat may sear nicely at a high temp, but overcook before the center even gets warm. To combat&nbsp;this, you can use high temp to get the sear you love, and then put the meat on a medium or lower temperature part of the grill to let is cook all the way through. This keeps you from over-charring the outside and ruining a beautiful&nbsp;bone-in or thick cut of meat.
		
	
	
		
		7: SIDES GIVE VARIETY. Anyone who has made dinner for two has probably felt stressed managing the meat and sides. You don't need an expansive protein menu or a five course meal for your BBQs or grill outs. Let the sides you prepare add variety and focus on making a killer couple of proteins for everyone to enjoy.
		
	
	
		8: GIVE IT A REST. Allowing the meat to rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking lets the juices redistribute throughout the meat. Burgers, chicken, and steak... give them all a rest after you pull them off the grill! (Bonus - this will also keep you from burning your mouth eating things right off the grill because they look so good)

Top Summer Grilling Tips - 8 Easy Tricks To Make Any Grill A Success

A system with centralized power in an oligarch of corporations that have profit instead of longevity in mind may be leading us down the path towards a collapse… heard that story before? 
	According to one estimate, <a style="color: #a71c20;" href="https://www-cdn.oxfam.org/s3fs-public/file_attachments/rr-cereal-secrets-grain-traders-agriculture-30082012-en_4.pdf">90% of the global grain trade</a> is done by 4 major corporations. As they begin to adopt similar practices and pursue similar revenue streams, their businesses will look more and more alike, which may make a single shock to the global food system that much more catastrophic. Unexpected financial or meteorological events can upend not one, but all of their businesses, leaving a huge whole in the market for necessary goods.<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/empty-shelves-copy.jpg" style="width: 677px;">
	 
	This global picture can be painted with American characters as well. In the meat industry, 4 companies alone control <a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://txbargrassfed.com/how-can-four-companies-control-the-us-beef-industry/">84%</a> of the beef cattle slaughter. Those companies would be JBS USA, Tyson Foods Inc., Cargill Inc. and National Beef Packing Company. As they begin to push out small meat producers in the market, our meat food supply becomes more and more fragile - susceptible to shortages and collapses more than ever. 
	 
	To make our system more resilient, we need more competitors in the market who operate independently of one another. Competition drives prices down, but it also diversifies the network so that a shock to the system doesn’t cause a domino effect. Unfortunately, the small, independent farm and ranch is not as prevalent as it once was. In fact, well over <a href="https://time.com/5736789/small-american-farmers-debt-crisis-extinction/">100,000 independent farms and ranches have closed</a> in America in the last 10 years.&nbsp;<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/yotpo-mobile-loyalty-banner.jpg" style="width: 695px;">
	Al Davis, a Nebraska cattle producer and former state senator said, “<a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://time.com/5736789/small-american-farmers-debt-crisis-extinction/#:~:text=But%20it%20has%20been%20declining,and%20a%20red%20barn%20but">Farm and ranch families are facing a great extinction</a>. If we lose that rural lifestyle, we have really lost a big part of what made this country great.” These farms and ranches were pushed out by the low prices of imported, foreign goods and the difficulty of making a profit due to the price controls put in place by the big four corporations. We need to reestablish these independent players in the meat industry to solidify our unstable and unsustainable system. 
	 
	As demand rises for more and more beef/meat production, countries are incentivized to create more grazing land for cattle. Many of them adopt unsustainable practices that drive deforestation and poor land management. In America, we have less untouched land or forests to push into, which means we use <a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_agriculture">Regenerative Agriculture</a> to rotate pasture lands to let them recover and stay healthy. All of our partner farms and ranches aim to let the land recover after use to keep it viable in the long run. This is a sustainable practice that ensures we will have ample farming and ranching land in the future. 
	Are Brazilian corporations like <a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBS_S.A.">JBS</a>, one of the big four, using regenerative agriculture or creating deforestation in South America to export more beef than ever? One <a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-021-00729-z">study</a> looks at how the increased production of soy and other commodities may be pushing pasture land deeper and deeper into once protected Brazilian areas. We certainly hope they are focused on restorative agriculture instead of performative. Our food supply depends not only on diversifying practices and returning power to more players in the market; it relies on us planning for the food supply ahead and not only producing for the food supply now.<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/beef-chicken-salmon-.jpg" style="width: 663px;"> 
	 
	We are currently seeing the low stock of essentials caused by shocks to our food system. If our meat &amp; seafood supply collapses like the 2008 bank crisis, do you know where you will shop? If beef becomes the next baby formula, are you confident you’ll have enough or that you’ll even find it in stores?

How America's Failing Food System Could Collapse Like The 2008 Banks

Food shortages... we have all been hearing about them, but they're not being caused by supply chain bottlenecks like we may assume. The supply of beef &amp; chicken is being limited by the supply of chickens and cows. We know, that seems simplistic, but shrinking herds and flocks can severely limit the supply of grocery store’s meat aisles. What has caused the cow and chicken population to shrink here in the states? Well, we’re glad you asked.<h3>1. Shrinking Chicken Flocks</h3>
	Poultry flocks in the past two months have been plagued by 35+ million cases of the Avian Flu. That has led to a 25-30 million reduction in flock size across the US due to culling partial flocks and birds naturally passing from the disease. The majority of the 35+ million birds are chickens and turkeys. They have confirmed cases of the flu on farms in 32 US states.&nbsp;
	 
	
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2022-05-06-at-1.33.26-pm.png" style="width: 500px;">
	IMG by&nbsp;(<a href="https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/animal-disease-information/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-2022">USDA</a>)
	This is going to lead to a direct shortage of chicken in the coming months. Unfortunately, chicken is one of the few proteins that might still feel affordable for families during this time of inflation, but with this supply limitation they won’t have the same access to it at their local grocers. Even if you do find chicken on your shelves, the price will likely be much higher in response to the limited supply nationwide. 
	 
	Not only will the meat of chickens be scarce, but so will the number of eggs. “In Iowa, the state that produces the most eggs, more than 11m of 56m egg-laying hens have died.” (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/09/bird-flu-millions-birds-avian-influenza">Guardian</a>) So chicken breasts and omelets are soon to be a delicacy of our country. Now more than ever, people are looking for a safe, reliable, and consistent supply of <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/product/better-than-organic-chicken">high-quality chicken</a>, and we’d recommend checking out our store TODAY.
	Our chicken supply has not been hurt, and you can lock in your price on our chicken by subscribing today. Don’t wait a week or month until you see the prices go up.

	<h3>2. Shrinking Cow Herds</h3>
	Now, the bird flu is not impacting our cattle herds, but something is. We saw a 2% drop in the cattle population, according to the USDA cattle report. That is nearly 2 million cattle that are no longer in the herd compared to last year. Why has the total population of cattle dropped since last year? It turns out that during the high demand of COVID, farms were sending cows to be processed and sold that they normally wouldn’t. They got rid of more female cattle for the sake of short-term profits, and that has limited the reproductive replacement rate of our Nation’s herd.
	&nbsp;
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2022-05-06-at-1.49.46-pm.png" style="width: 500px;">
	IMG from <a href="https://www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2022/01-31-2022.php">USDA</a>
	This is likely to have the same effect as the decrease in chicken flock numbers. We will see a continued spike in beef prices due to increased demand but limited supply constrained by herd size. Ground beef, steaks, and burgers shouldn’t have to leave our weekly meal schedules. Save <a href="https://www.goodranchers.com/shop">$25 on every box</a> of American Beef (USDA Prime &amp; Upper Choice) from our store when you subscribe.

Cow Herds & Chicken Flocks Shrink By MILLIONS

Wagyu - now considered a national treasure in Japan - exists all over the world. Wagyu actually means “Japanese Cow”. Wagyu is a broad term that encompasses 4 different breeds of cattle within Japan that all have been specifically bred to produce the unique marbling wagyu is known for. While it’s true that Wagyu originated in Japan, it is no longer true that it remains there. We have a large amount of Wagyu cattle here in the USA which has allowed all of us to become familiar with the decadent and rich flavor of wagyu beef. How did American Wagyu come to be? If you’re curious about the history of Wagyu in America, and how to get two free pounds of the best American Wagyu, then stay tuned and read on!

</iframe><h3>
America's Wagyu History</h3>
	It was 1976 when four Wagyu bulls were brought to the United States from Japan. There were two Japanese Red Bulls and two Japanese Black bulls.. These bulls were used for crossbreeding with female Angus cattle and other Continental breeds. The crossbreeding of Wagyu and Angus is known as “Wangus” and is not considered a full blood wagyu. It was not until 1993 that three Japanese Black female cows were imported, leading to the first Fullblood Wagyu to be bred in the United States.
	Between 1994 and 1997, about 200 Fullblood Wagyu were imported into the US from Japan. This allowed the wagyu population to thrive like never before in the States, and it seemed like this was only the beginning of American Wagyu. Then, in 1997, Japan designated Wagyu as a national treasure and an export ban on Wagyu cattle was put in place, which led to the rarity of Wagyu outside of Japan that we experience today. Fortunately for us, American Wagyu is here to stay and it is phenomenal - especially ours (wink-wink)<iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/J3jLrIwqfVp1S0MTZv" width="480" height="380" frameborder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowfullscreen="">
</iframe><h3>
American Wagyu Today</h3>
	The American Wagyu Association estimates there are less than 5,000 Fullblood Wagyu being raised in America currently. There are, though, 30,000 Wagyu-influenced cattle being raised domestically in the United States as well. Wagyu-influenced means they are part Wagyu but not Fullblood. These 35,000+ cattle are raised on American Wagyu ranches throughout the US. Some of the States raising Amercian Wagyu are Texas, Idaho, New Mexico, and Oregon. Even with the limitation on getting fullblood Wagyu in the country, American Wagyu is on the rise and for good reason too.
	Why? Because American Wagyu truly is a flavor and experience all its own. The marbling and texture elevates your meal to another level. It’s one you need to try. Even if you’ve had Wagyu or American Wagyu before, you have not had ours! And for a limited time, we’ll give it to you for FREE.&nbsp; Yes, Free American Wagyu.
