- Why beef in the grocery store gets more expensive, but ranchers make less money than before.
When you buy beef in the grocery store, you don't know if you are eating local beef, foreign beef, or even pink slime ( not beef at all)! Buy beef locally or from a rancher so that you know what you are getting.
Top quality Montana beef can be purchased from marbled.com and you can use the Code TRINITY to get 10% off!
RETIRED USDA CHEMIST; these gentlemen are EXACTLY CORRECT about what the meat industry does to meat & USDA allows them to do it! From my point of view, USDA "WORKS for the Meat Industry" rather than Actually "Regulating it"! You pay taxes & your taxes pay USDA to "WORK for the meat industry" & "NOT WORK FOR YOU"! The Government is supposed to "Work for YOU, the PEOPLE"!
Makes sense. The food pyramid/plate is made by private food organizations with the government and they push the cheap corn wheat products as healthy carbs and recommend 6-11 servings per day. They don’t work for us either.
@@cbagot Which is exactly why people are obese and very sick. The carnivore diet is the healthiest diet, but I buy my beef, pork and chicken from a local, pasture raised farm.
@@cbagot
They work for PROFITS! 📈
Well I’ve lived in the Philippines. Yes you can eat three meals of rice a day and not be obese. You eat some meat or vegetables on top and millions probably a few billion Asians eat that way.
@@marksmith4627I get mine from foodlion. Can't tell the difference
USDA and FDA are a pathetic joke.
Most if not all government agencies are captured and corrupt; USDA, FBI, DOJ, FDA, ...I can go on..
It's all about the money. No morals. Corporate greed.
The FCC is also, they want to encrypt our free over the air tv
Cartels run them
Laziness and ignorance make up for a lot of the problems.
There might be malice, but most individuals don't actually hold that in their hearts.
This is why people need to support local butchers who support local ranchers.
Exactly. The biggest lever we have is where we spend our $$. Turn your money into a tool, buy quality local products while reinforcing local businesses. Boycott corporate corksoakers
Been purchasing grass fed beef for the last year. Amazing difference in taste. I am not much of a meat eater, yet I know some nutrients are only available in pure beef. By the way, may I suggest a book? Name: WHAT YOU FOOD ATE. Author: Montgomery. Chook full of need to know info. Especially recommend the chapters on beef. Noone will want to eat beef that is not local. and fed correctly.
BOOK TO READ: WHAT YOUR FOOD ATE, BY MONTGOMERY
I have to ask what about water retention I have cut meat a few years I've never seen the trash we get every pound of hamburger you get a half cup of water is wasted when cooked how do they get away with wet aging
What do various local health departments say about this?
Been a farmer for 58 years.
These fellows nailed the problem.
USDA is not protecting the public. Follow the money
Ike everything else.. Some A-holes are siting in there offices lining their pockets.. Congress especially.
Nor the FDA. Get indo on products and neds at least from EU.
They are not and they should get an earful from we the consumers. The masses knows nothing about this. I didn't until now.
Government doesn't work. it never has. Anarchy/Self-governance is the only solution.
@@mishaanton5436that’s right, fda is just as bad! What do they do to the products? And what’s neds?
Buy from local ranchers! Grass fed grass finished! Problem solved.
We buy local but I found corn finished the fat is actually tasty. When we did grass/grass and the fat wasn’t good.
Read the story about Amos Miller from Lancaster Pennsylvania!
To have grass finished beef you have to have cattle in an environment where quality grass can be grown. There are very few places this exists. Most grass finished calves are not good.
Funny thing about our Government they say the cow farts hurt the environment? Because they want to push Lab grown meats on us! It's crazy people! Lab grown meats are poisonous! Wake up America
That's what's wrong with failing health of America and the rest of the world. Corn is full of GMO. Food is for nutrition #1 not about what only tastes good. Cows eating corn and soy-based feed is unnatural and most importantly unhealthy for the cow. You are what you eat same goes for the cow sadly they don't have a choice. Why it's done, is simply to render a quick larger profit. And not maintaining pastures correctly. Support the grass fed cattle industry.
My family raised 100% Wagyu cows in Georgia if any of you live in the state we raise the beef right and are a Christian family , have owned the land and managed it for a very long time , if anyone is interested let me know ! Love your show !!! Wish more folks knew about this
Do you have a website about your farm?

@@dawnwells524 I don’t think ATM you can buy online but if you call the store and mention
You spoke with Clint Brantley , newphew of Jeff Daniel , he’s co owner , I think they may be able to work something out with you ! I’d love to hear what they say , the beef is raised in the town I live in !
WE KNEW IT! The husband and I have been talking about this, the meat does not cook the same, it doesn't look the same or taste the same. and its not just ground beef too. We started going to the butcher, there is hardly a price difference.
100% agree!
Just Eat it and quit Complaining!
I been telling my mom and aunt our food jus don’t taste the same SMDH
@@horatiohernandez390You eat it and shut your face! Some people care what they're ingesting!
@@melisaross2468I've been saying this for YEARS, way before cnineteen happened! Everything has a chemical taste, or doesn't cook properly🤦
My dad told me about 20 years ago that large corporations are as bad as communisim at the time I tried to argue with him. Now I know that he is right.
Large corporations by definition are some degree of monopolies and in practice are corporate sponsors of captured regulatory agencies and political interests. It is crony capitilism. The problem is much broader than just the beef industry.
Ranchers, farmers usually raise their children with common sense, something about the land!
The marriage of corporations & the state = Fascism.
Fascism & Communism = 2 wings of the same bird. Good point, dad.
❤ Did you let your father know how right he was? ❤😊
I sure did@@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098
This should be a mandatory lecture for high school seniors.
Yes
Also at junior year one semester of civics and senior year a semester us constitution.
The public school system isn't designed to teach anything but reliance on government. Man who started the public school system said they wanted workers and not critical thinkers.
No wonder my high school age grandsons complain about the school food and refuse to eat it.
Should have year long mandatory class on consumerism!
Beef Ranchers are amazing. God Bless them all and help them be financially successful. We need the Ranchers.
America needs to return to family ag businesses - not these big corporations.
Don't assume that all small-to- medium-sized beef producers are treating their animals as well as they should be, readers. By the way, it isn't cute to be snarky and sarcastic about "global warming." Global warming affects all outdoor animals. It is here to stay, smart alecks, and you livestock producers are partly responsible for it. How long are you going to perpetuate the extremes in climate that we are having?! You're allowing for huge amounts of methane gas - muchachos - methane gas and costly diesel and gas-eating vehicles that spew harmful gasses & carbon monoxide into the air. Stop being in stubborn denial. What would it be like to be an Angus, with a black coat, standing in the sun for months in high heat of summer?! Most trees are cut down purposely to save every foot of land for grazing or for planting crops. I know it. I see it. What would it be like to be outdoors without any windbreak, or barns, and no human or God to protect you from 40 or 50 mph winds during blizzards? Drive by a massive feed yard and see the thousands of cattle eating corn and other grains. My God, livestock are meant to graze, not eat grains!! Sure, grains are supplements but how much grazing is truly done by ranchers? How about being a calf born in late February or early March, in any Central or Northern state? You would be dropped onto a freezing-cold, hard spot of icy, or snowy piece of land. Would you be able to stand up and nurse, as calves must do, to survive? You hypocritical wanna-be ranchers!! You treat your livestock as badly as the gigantic corporate owners of beef production co.s that trap animals in small places so they can barely move. This is what you do when you raise veal!! You isolate calves, break their legs so they cannot stand, and let them gorge for weeks until you pull them out of a dark building and slaughter them. Dam. Dam. I hope that ranches do die off because ranchers are just as careless, thoughtless and greedy as the huge corporate, mass-producing grain-feeders that have overcome you. You knock bison/buffalo but they are designed to tolerate tough climates. Cattle are not as tough! Yes, cows and steers are nicer. But do you actually care if they roast, freeze or are drowned until you see the losses on your account sheets?! You are living in a fantasy, at this point in time. Stop portraying yourselves as saints! All livestock producers are into making profits. Period. Money rules the world. You all love it and you vote for people who will back your cruel operations. And you still are not satisfied. You keep buying gas-guzzling pick-ups, trailers, 18-wheeler-trailers and other air polluting investments. Find another job and quit complaining or change your 19th Century methods of operation. You will need good luck as the world's climate continues to worsen. Where are you planning to find water for your heads of livestock in 15 to 20 years? May need to rethink corn, soybeans and wheat. Maybe go with cotton, sorghum, rice or sunflowers. If you keep voting for Republicans you are definitely going to be disappointed. They care about you about as much as they care for poor newborns, whom they know will be given to their parents who may live without adequate wages, healthcare options or summer food programs to support their children when they are in recess from school meals. It's been 15 years since the minimum wage was changed. And you still complain loudly about owning land, animals and assets!!
Just saw another clip about a man who is building a butchering plant in Richfield Utah to help out the local farmers. I pray he is successful and can help out the farmers and the communities.
Yes, I saw that too. I think they just opened it up. They are offering meat packages already.
I think people want to buy from ranchers, but they don’t know how to find that local beef. We need an online marketplace of some sort to buy direct from ranchers.
I found grass fed local on FB Marketplace. Several options.
Most who are local only advertises through word of mouth as not to insure being shut down... by gov. Word of mouth ...that’s what brings community together
@@user-wq3jp3qg1oyes. They have raided Amish farms for selling non USDA inspected meat.
Great question?
City folk need this. Some of us despise Zuckerberg. Use to be people went to church..that was our community. We need to get back to basics and fundamentals.
Our local ranchers here , except one, were bought up by a big box corporation. Their sales tanked after that. However the one that didnt sell out saw his business skyrocket. Residents from neighboring counties/parishes became prominent customers. Big box corporation tried to buy his business again but was unsuccessful so they went through the federal and local system and got him to start paying higher fees and higher taxes which naturally he had to increase his prices to stay in business.
I dont know how long before he relents and sells his business but i hipe our community stands together and keep him afloat.
Dont ever believe what the label says. Remember these are the same people who supported vaccinations and other radical ideas leading towards poor health. Profit means more than quality.
We need to support our local farmers by means not regulated by government. Re: bartering, gifts, labour, security.
We cant sell put and must hold on to land to keep from being slaves! We are being stupid selling our businesses and land to people that cant wait to control & destroy us
I'd say give small farms / ranchers tax free... then tax the churches
I saw a 1lb hamburger pk of meat for $3:50. The sirloin was $10. I bought the expensive one. Bc my family raises Black Angus. That cheap one is creepy.
This gentleman speaks with such authority that is absolutely believable & no reason not to accept his advice and consider what he says. We’ve been searching for a local rancher to buy direct, highly everyone try doing the same & support your local rancher & not the meat/grocery cartels.
I am so thankful for this content. This clearly explains why I feel sick after eating beef.
I'm from NJ, I need to look into buying beef from a ranch...
Thank you!!

The beef industry needs to speak up for itself.
Educate the consumer, because they don't know.
The beef industry is not controlled by the ranchers.

If I buy meat from the grocery store I buy organic local texas brands(though their not as local and community oriented as I'd like) but I'm fortunate to know a local rancher GRACE RANCH in texas where I know the owner well( BARRY he's a great guy) who raises natural grass fed beef. Just ate some spaghetti with his ground beef and it's a good feeling knowing your supporting local family owned business who humanely raises and slaughters his steer!❤
I'm in Jackson County, TX. Where is Grace Ranch? I'm very conscience about the meat I buy. Always grass fed and organic. It tastes much better than tube beef which I never will buy again.
My family in TX raise our cattle on grass and rotate them on patures. My dad is missing out by getting it labelled as 'grass fed'. I mean there might be 200 of them, but we even name them. I don't think big ranchers would have spent the time on a vet trying to save a momma giving birth breech. They killed the mom and tried to get the calf out in time. It didn't make it:(
Great video! I've been cutting meat for 18 years and heard rumors of this going on but I didn't know for sure so I appreciate what you are doing. I take pride in what I do but it makes me feel sad that I'm part of the reason ranchers are quitting. I teach cutting meat and would love to promote local meat producers. Thanks again.
One small step is to get congress to pass legislation stating country of origin on all meat.
We have that legislation, the creative marketers have found ways around it
The bureaucracies won't police themselves, because they are corrupt. They will spend millions to protect their criminality.
Beginning last April, most cattle are now vaxed with mRNA.
Never happen!!
This would require the corrupt FDA and USDA to stop being corrupt, which basically means they lose all their money laundering.
I work at a butcher shop just down the road from CWC riverton (I'm also a student at the college). We have some very nice beef come in from local ranchers. Generally, the cost to buy a beef is substantially lower than buying an equivalent amount of beef from Walmart or smiths and is generally much higher quality than what you'll find at the store. A lot of the local ranchers are great folks and we love helping connect them with local buyers.
Go Rustlers!
@@tinoyb9294 😂😂😂
I live in Alexandria VA when I lived in Ohio, I bought from a local locker shop. The beef was incredible. Any, when we ran out, I went and bought a roast at Wally World. I was thinking it would taste like the real thing- or forgot- but the taste was awful, just awful, couldn’t believe it! Yes the price is not much more for the real thing. Better marketing is needed by ranchers association?? Compare price but compare organic at lower than retail prices!!!!
Drop a link or a number. I don’t know much about shipping but I’ve seen it done
China bought Smithfield
I work in an industrial beef slaughter and packing company. USDA is not working up to standard. There were any times we should have been temporarily shut down. My girlfriend also worked there as a QA (quality assurance). She told me that with briskets once theyve been processed the final stage is to inject them with some kind of liquid mixture just to make them seem bigger and heavier because at the end of the day it all comes down to money. Also, the washing the meat part they talk about, when the meat is on the production line towards the end before they get to the packaging team it goes under some sprayers that spray this "sanitizing" mixture to keep the meat free of pathogens. When i was selected to go to a safety meeting that included very little people the guy holding the meeting said that just a drop of that substance without being diluted would clear a room thats about 15ft by 15ft of all adults very quickly. Yet we we douse the meat in a diluted version of this stuff. I have so many stories its just unbelievable.
Thank you so much . We all want our country to succeed. Our ranchers and farmers are us,you and me. I'll have to budget differently but it's worth it.
Grass-fed, grass finished beef is leaner, however, the fat in the meat is much healthier for us! Plus, you are supporting more sustainable ranches, the environment and ranchers that care-worth every penny!
@kensterling5217 well in my opinion it's them big feed lots that's giving a bad name to the local rancher selling direct to consumers. Those animals are living in their own feces and urine for weeks, nothing natural and organic about that. You can smell the stench of a feed lot a mile away, nothing natural and organic about that. They're getting fat on genetically modified corn and soybeans, nothing organic about that. None if it.
Fat is toxic, not healthy at all to eat. God says not to eat the blood or the fat of the clean animal. ❤
Yes! Look for regeneratively raised beef, AMP grazing farmer/ranchers.
Good interview. When I process my chickens that I have treated very well. I always thank them for their sacrifice, and I thank God for this sustenance. Cows are too big for me to slaughter. I am an old woman and I only have one and a third acres. But I try to get my beef and lamb from a local rancher. I'm grateful.
This is the mindset humanity needs to move towards. It matters on so many levels.
God Bless You!!
Be truley greatful for the animals by not eating them in the first place.
@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army I feel God gave us the animals for our substance. God had his people cook lamb for feasts. They ate fish, poultry and cows. God told us not to eat pork. It's healthy to eat meat. Our bodies need that type of protein.
@Carolynfoodforest355 You are correct. They say today you can eat pork because they get the right food to eat but that is not the reason. God said do not eat pork because they don't sweat and because they don't sweat pigs get all kinds of bacteria inside and sweat them out and pass them on to us.
Good info ! Tho I did NOT need them to tell me this !! I’m 58 years old and I KNOW food especially meat and poultry does NOT taste like it did 30 & 40 years ago
Farmers, truckers & cowboys, gotta love 'em❤❤❤ Salt of the earth 🌎🥰🥰🥰
Up front I want to say that I have always held ranchers and farmers with high respect. In the 3rd grade I told my teacher that I was going to go to college and become a cowboy! ( neither happened).
I am 75 now on SS and I supplement my income with a side hustle.
This economy will not allow me to support my local rancher. Sadly most of us “ regular folk” are in a very tight spot right now.
On a final note I am grateful to the Lord for the food I do have and send my prayers and blessings out to all you hard working ranchers and farmers.
I agree with what you say. Millions of Americans are in the same boat.
It's actually cheaper to get quality meat from a rancher in the long run but you have to get 1/8 to 1/4 cow at a time. So it's spendy up front. And then you need freezer space. Finding family and friends you can split shares with is a great way to go
Eat less eat the best. 2 lbs of local quality hamburger by everyone could start a rev... uh...movement. Meatballs, stroganoff, meatloaf, lasagna, bsgetti. I'm sure others have more ideas. Lasts 1 person 3-4 days of healthy portions. Even 2x a month. Start multiplying hiw much you junk food is per lb. Had a friend criticize me for buying homegrown beef. Without a forerhought I said lets fo price yoour name-brand potatoe chips. Ya my burger was cheaper. And he said he used 10 bags a month. We have a mindset little isnt bad for you. Or your chips, crackers, dry sausage cookies. You'll live longer and healthier while your hear if you eat healthy.
I don't buy beef or any meat from the grocery store. I buy from the Farm down the road and across the county. Eggs and Honey from Sister's farm. I know we are blessed with the fruit of the land....
Me too. I'm a city girl but shop at my local Farmers Market and a central NC co-op that processes and retails regenerative farm meats. I cannot bring myself to buy CAFO beef or pork even though I live on an extremely tight social security budget.
This makes me sad. I don’t need the cheap meat any more. I’m getting my next 1/2 of cow in May😢
Thank you guys for putting this video out!
That’s great !! Unless you live in Chicago!! The FORMER meat packing capital of the world
Cheeks I'm in Central Texas and for years have vowed to never eat any ground beef that would be processed north of Oklahoma! Lmmo@@generalwrecking
Thank you for the work you do to provide these personal and informational interviews that share crucial data!
I'm seriously loving this conversation! Educating!
Part of the solution is bringing back the local butcher shop. It is the final step between the local slaughterhouse and the individual shoppers. If you want to build a community, then you need locals to do business with local shops. I can only think of one butcher shop in by community of nearly 300,000. I remember as a kid (I'm 73 y.o.) of going with my parents and grandparents to local butcher shops that processed local carcasses in various cuts. Local shops would be good not only for beef producers but also pork, mutton, goal, and poultry producers.
Agreed!!
I remember in my teens when my mother used to buy meat from a butcher who she knew personally he was expensive but my mom knew knew better and purchase wisely
Big corporations have destroyed this industry
That's a real good start, we just some leadership in the U.S. that has big enough balls to put a stop to Pharma-Food, whom has the big money and put a stop to these companies buying everything they can up. Then naming there price... People everyone needs to stop what there doing and listen to these men. This guy has the facts on target, they know what they are talking about.

Thank you for shedding light on this issue. I had no idea. However importing meat is absolutely terrible. We as a county should be fed by our own americans.
And the food processed by Americans also
Thank you both!
This is one of those videos to keep in a file , to review later.
There's very important info here.
Great video, thankyou.
My wife and I bought an old cow 3 years ago (old as in 10 and only grass fed) and the taste difference was so noticeable and better and we just keep buying from the grower
We do the same in our household...the taste is very noticeable. We live in Montana but get our beef from Wyoming...figure that. Also little or no Vax.
My coworker does that to 1 steer per year, I don't think he'd butcher a cow.
@@margaretthatcher6828 When I hunt in Wyoming, I buy beef from a local rancher up there...Berger Ranch if I remember right. It is about the same as Grass fed/finished from an Arizona Ranch I buy from. Good stuff and healthier. There are many ranchers that process their own beef. USDA approved facilities and are part of a 3rd party certification process that insures the beef is what they say it is.
@JimWooddell what is the name of the ranch in az? I live in Az.
@@nenaoconnell9127 There are several. Try Arizona Grass Raised Beef. I just bought a bunch of hamburger and Ribeyes from them.
No wonder the beef no longer digests well.
You can’t put pink slime in a roast or a steak, only ground or processed meat ( prepared frozen foods) ! Never buy the roll of ground or chuck ! Look for in store ground meats or buy a meat grinder and make your own !
@@conniehartwick9411 90% or more lean makes a terrible hamburger ! There is not enough fat to hold a patty together and it comes apart on thr grill !
And they're fed gmo grains.
Meat no longer tastes the same, now I know why.
We really appreciate you ranchers. Thank you.❤
Thank you Sir for sharing this problem with me. I will adjust my spending to where it helps the small ranchers!
I stopped buy store bought meat 5 years ago and started buying local grass fed beef. It tastes a whole lot better than store bought. I pay about the same as I would at the store. I love my local ranchers and farmers. Keep up the good work.
You should try Grain finished, notably better than only grass fed and cheaper.. it's not cheaper to finish with grain, But it tastes a whole lot better.
Yes, corn fed is better, and aged is even better.
Challenge is to fi ding clean neat.
Great insight. Fantastic video!
Thanks Peter.
Hope you're doing okay...haven't seen you post in awhile.
Thank you both whole heartedly..... The Best analysis I have heard ... by far . So true also that large corporations don't give a 'rats arse' about you , your neighbourhood or health. Exactly the same here in the UK.
It's good insight but they refuse to say that politicians in Washington who are bought and paid by china is the reason our food is poor quality today because china owns or has controlled stock in all our food processors except JBS who is owned out of Brazil. None of our food processors are owned in the United States anymore and the USDA makes sure it stays that way.
where the beef
I just found your channel. I'm binge watching your videos, and learning an awful lot. Thank you for this amazing content. We proudly support our ranchers and small local businesses.
Thank you for this truth! Watch before it's taken down. I'm totally on board with buying from local farmers!
It's about time to get State rights back 🔙🔙🔙 from the USDA...
The beef I buy is amazing! From a farmer a few hours down the road. We know how they raise the cows, what they feed them and what the inject into them. I’m very grateful to live in a state where I can get actual US raised beef!
Starting today I am buying home grown items as much as I can find them to support my community. Thank you for this video.
Sooooo, how can we hold the USDA accountable? Didn’t know you could purchase from local ranchers? Learning something new and loving it!
For the sake of all Americans this video needs to go viral.
AH
And u only got 60 likes jesus were in trouble
Thanks for producing this, it's probably the most informative presentation on the cattle industry I've seen.
I found a farmer about an hour from me that sells only grass fed beef, , raised using regenerative practices, processed at a small processor that I have used for a few pigs and a couple cattle that we raised. Yes, it is twice the cost of the supermarket. But , if we don’t start buying from these small farmers , as said in the video, they won’t be there in the future. And the beef I buy is delicious, and more healthy and full of nutrition. Consumers need to wake up.
Excellent content! Thank you for the deep dive and big picture.
I worked for a packing slaughter operation near Garden City 40 years ago. It was an amazing operation. I also know that feed yards with hundreds of head cannot be the best environment . Now I buy from the private rancher.
Keep up the good work and keep educating!!!
I am from a small town in northeast Iowa. I have a relationship with a local farmer where he delivers a cow to our local locker. I pay for the processing and pay the farmer based on the hanging weight. The calf is born in my county and it never leaves. I think that is pretty awesome.
We do the same in Southeast Indiana
You’re Blessed! Thank God! Very few people have this luxury. 🥲
Great you have an independent packing house available to you
Unfortunately across much of the US independent process facilities are not available
I live in southern Ohio and most independent meat processors have a 2 year wait list
@@jeffwest9195 that seems crazy to me because there are 3 meat lockers that do this within 20 miles of me. I thought it was this way everywhere. I didn’t realize I was so lucky
@@jeffwest9195 try searching online for freezer beef locations near you. You may be surprised to find some available closer than you think. I think a lot more farmers are trying to sell direct like this nowadays.
What a brilliant informative video, thank you from northwest England. I think it's pretty much the same over here. God bless you all and all of us around trying to end this cycle.
Thanks for the information on the meats not being quality standards. We don't hear this type information on mainstream media.Will start buying my meat elsewhere. God bless you sir and keep you safe.
Awe man. I just bought $45 worth of pig and beef today that was discontinued for quick sale. I was feeling so good about the savings....then I watched this video. My 🎈 lost all its 💨 and now I feel 😐.
So here's the problem I face as a consumer; I make very little money, I have many mouths to feed, big heads are taxen the crap out of everything, and inflation is strangling my dollars. I want to buy direct but I cannot afford the cost of buying direct🤷
Learn to love a crock pot of dried beans with a pan of cornbread. Great protein, fiber and carbohydrates for energy. Cheap and great for you.
They're actually is a cost-effective healthy solution to this issue however most people simply don't want to raise kill and butcher animals.
Rabbit meat is one of the cleanest healthiest meats that you can consume. It is relatively inexpensive to produce and requires little in the way of space which means even City dwellers could actually raise their own meat.
There is also the additional by-product of the pelt and the fertilizer.
I tried this as a business back in the early seventies but I decided I didn't like killing bunnies for a living either.
@@gtillen I would think chickens are even more straightforward and simple. Although there is the issue of rooster noise.
@@africkinamerican true but roosters are not required to get eggs and new chicks can be bought as needed. Even so, chickens are much louder than rabbits, smell worse, their poop is too strong to use straight in the garden and I would much rather skin a rabbit than pluck a chicken 🤔

You dont need a rooster. When a hen gets broody , buy some fertilized eggs @@africkinamerican
Beyond interesting, incredibly informative, and utterly shocking. He hit the nail on the head with the statement that “the USDA is supposed to be enforcing truth in labeling and they are the biggest violator.”
Just like other regulation agencies.
Never trust our government
Spread the truth! That's the best we can do
Thanks for the information. They must be doing the same thing to pork and fowl as well. You've opened my eyes to what I suspected was going on. Time to share this information and support our local ranchers.
You’re putting out such valuable information to the general public. I agree, people need to buy local and support their communities. When I was a kid (in 1960’s/70’s Los Angeles), my mom bought from the local butcher and produce farm. Lots of people shopped that way. That went by the wayside by the 80’s. The butcher we went to was out of business in the late 70’s, and the produce farm decreased their production to mainly pumpkins in the fall in the early 80’s. Sad state of the country.
We need to talk about FDA doubling sulfur levels in animals foodstuffs. This comes from sulfuric acids used in processing and preserving foodstuffs. The DDGS contains sulfuric acids residue destroying vitamins and minerals and stopping absorption of vitamins and minerals. This makes meat stink if high enough levels and tuff meat. This damages the health of animals and humans. Most this is in grains products.
This is fantastic. One of the most important videos on TH-cam. Share this with everyone you know.
Thank you for shedding light on these issues. Educating the consumers is a must if we are to have a shift to healthier products and a more healthy and vigorous environment and population. Thank you gentlemen! 🙏
Years ago I woke up and stopped going to major corporate stores and today I don't miss them a bit.
Thankfully I have the opportunity to grow and raise my own food!
I wish this great video was on the main stream media all over this country so people would know what’s going on. Thank you Trinity for this very informative video. God Bless
The msm would never allow it.
It never will be. You state and local media are under thumb of govt too.
Thanks Trinity for sharing this info. Now I need to share this with friends etc.
I'm on a very low income and have wanted to buy from a local meat market that buys from local ranchers, but kept thinking I can't afford it. I came to the realization awhile ago that if I buy meat to make casseroles and crockpot meals I can afford the quality straight from farm meat and the meals will last for the whole month till next check comes in.
I'm excited to start this new way of life.
Thanks again.
Absolutely. Also, meat can go a long way in soups
Thank you very much for the information/education! This is what it takes to get people to understand and change their mindset. In the past, my disgust for the meat industry has driven me away from beef, but now I will seek out better alternatives to support butchers/ranchers.
"Stop being a consumer and start being a citizen! Build community through buying local food" I love this concept and stand by this in my own life. We adjusted the way we were spending and prioritized local meat and raw milk from our small farmers in Virginia. It is a big shift because it can be more expensive but our health has improved and we cut back our spending in other ways. If you can, buy local and organic.
USDA big government is the problem there used to be local butcher shops everywhere forty years ago now it’s scarce
I am so thankful that you made this video, exposing the meat industry. Farmers and ranchers are America's lifeline. Without them we wouldn't survive. Thank you again and God bless you!
Thank you Trinity for this VERY IMPORTANT VIDEO!!!! I want to look for a farmer to buy from now...but I'm single and don't want to buy much. I will look around. I've missed your channel!❤ THANKS AGAIN...HAPPY TRAILS 😊
Excellent! I am going to talk to some of my friends and family about forming a group, and buying from a rancher.
Thanks for the conversation!
We Appreciate ranchers hard work...I hate buying meat from stores I need a to start buying from a rancher
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this VERY ENLIGHTENING conversation. This information should be taught in schools & colleges. Our younger generations have NO UNDERSTANDING of where REAL food comes from nor do they have an appreciation snd respect for farmers & ranchers. It is a natural cycle that we must preserve to survive!
Thanks for making this video. I will be sharing this for sure.
Thanks for this interview great thing Comming out of of this there's a local guy I know I should be supporting .
Very similar here in Australia. Government is our major problem.
Asking the consumer to spend more will never work.
Education as explained in this video is imperative and labeling .
Great interview! Never knew about it. Thanks!
I noticed that my ground beef had a weird texture and off taste and KNEW that something was wrong and threw it away as I just could not continue even eating it.
Thanks to you In know why. Im very grateful. ❤😉🙏
Trinity, have you heard about the 5 or 6 large ranchers, I belive, from Wyoming and Montana, they are building their own packing facility, outside of Wheatland Wyoming? As I understand it, they have the go-ahead and permits etc. To proceed. It's supposed to only process livestock from local ranchers to the areas of western Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota as an example. I'm an agricultural Electrical Contractor, when I'm home. Local to Wheatland Wyoming. I've been in Southern Nevada working for a while now and haven't been able to get the info first hand as of late, but in my mind this would be a great thing.
Glad we raise our own grass fed beef, buffalo, pork, chickens and turkeys.
Not eveeyonenhasbground to even do abfee chickens. County says you can't have even 1 chicken in your yard.
@@mishaanton5436If no-one complains, the county will never know ;) ;) Alternatively, if you don't have much for space, you can raise rabbits or coturnix quail: both are quiet (except the quail roosters, but their 'crow' is a very pleasant trill so your neighbours will think you got a pet tropical bird, if they even hear it!) and both will give you good meat, with the quail also providing an abundance of eggs :)
Sorry about that. We only have 40 acres and it still is a lot of work.@@mishaanton5436
i had no idea the companies were importing beef and placing US labels on it. But this makes so much sense for me now. Ive noticed in the last year or so the grocery store i would frequent, its beef has degraded in visual quality heavily and it also cooks, and tastes different, than what i know i was buying before. Thank you for this information, i knew i wasnt going crazy. Time for me to start buying locally and independently produced goods.
This video is spot on! Its the dirty global commerce that nobody knows about and the industry that I love is dying. That’s what landed me here..
I recently left everything behind & moved to Florida for an intern position at CF Cattle farms. I don’t regret it one bit. One of my tasks is to start a TH-cam channel to shed light on what we do and show what we go through daily to do our part in feeding America the right way. Do what you can to make a change in this dark world!
People have been programed to buy beef from the big box stores and they no-longer see small farmers as a source of beef. I take great care in raising each cow, bull and calf. I give my cattle all the hay and grass they can eat, and they never go to a feedlot. They are always on pasture and always happy til the last day. When I try to sell beef processed by licensed butchers, most people say they prefer to buy from the big box stores. Sometimes they want me to eat the beef first before they will try it.
For some odd reason I am suddenly interested in this topic, maybe the Texas fires and all the lost live stock. I don’t eat much meat but have felt it necessary lately to gain more muscle and strength on me. I bought some organic ground beef at Costco and I noticed it really smelled bad, like rotten. So what I really want to know is do you humanly slaughter and how is that done? I cant really enjoy meat because of the slaughter aspect.
@@lovesdogs8616Hi, I transport the live animal to the butcher, the they do all the processing and packaging. They are licensed butchers in Texas and handle all the processing. I can ask them how they process the animal, the next time I go there. The cows are more than just meat. My farm used to have grass that grew 6 ft tall when I did not have cows. Now the cows keep the grass well mowed at 1 inch tall. The reason the Costco meat smells bad is because it has bacterial growth and you should probably not eat it. Raw meat is not supposed to smell bad. A large percent of the meat in the big box stores come from far away countries. If the meat is processed in the US, the USDA allows them to put the "US beef" label in it. The big box store meat is transported hundreds of miles from places like the Amazon rain forest and then processed in the US and relabeled as US beef. As the box store meat is transported hundreds of miles, it sometimes picks up a few strains of harmful bacteria.
@@MintRanch Thank you. I need to figure out how to get safe healthy meat. I knew the fish was bad , but thought the meat was ok. I will say the Costco grass feed organic burgers sold in the roll are very good. It was just the hamburger that was stinky, but stit shouldn’t be.
I want corn finished.
What are the conditions like in the feedlots? Is it stressful for the animals?
Great Video --from CA, as a cancer survivor I can relate to this video my parents used to feed me milk from the grocery store and I was like a real cow until I started having issues with my digestion and it was childhood leukemia long story short we were also eating fast food the 90s and now I try and buy Bison from a rancher in TX and have it shipped here to horrid CA even tho its expensive because cancer sucks and our health is priceless🦬 I only eat organic now and skip the dairy.
There is a film called BOSS on netflix that recounts a butchers experience dealing with this slime highly recommended!
God Bless Yall
Have you looked up Dr Thomas Seyfried. Worth listening too
God bless you. If all the more affluent Americans would insist on only organic, and local as much as possible then it would change the marketplace.
Did you also get the childhood vaccines?
I bought a piece of land over 35 years ago to put a processing plant on but havent been able to fix my dream. I would like to talk to this man about building a processing area for our farmers.
This guy is full of knowledge that needs to be introduced into our FDA to get things strait! BUY FROM A LOCAL RANCHER YALL!! And if you think they are hard to find well you probably pass atleast 5 ranchers on your way to Wal-Mart or Costco! And you dont hv to live out west, i live in north GA and we hv plenty no thier not a big rancher like out in the grassland out west but thier enough to supply thier little communities..Yes its a little higher but is your family not worth it! But if you figure it all out all the way to the end of the slaughter then its really not that much more,you may say i cant afford to buy a whole cow well get 5 people or however many just 2 whatever and yall go in on one cow and split the meat between everyone that put thier money in it,its not that hard or expensive if you do this. My neighbor and i go in half on a cow and the meat last both my family and his all yr.. both of us hv a family of 4 per household. Now we don't go wild on eating it but it does last us, and its so much of a better meat.
We need this information to get out to the public.
How does this helpful informative video, not have a million views.
Thanks for such an eye-opening interview.
When I first heard about the new lab meat, I decided to avoid burgers and all processed meat and just eat what looks like it had lived.
This has just reinforced my idea. Will be going to my local reputable butcher as soon as I can.
Very interesting, I didn’t know nor ever thought about it. Eyes wide open, I’ll pass it on thanks!
The FDA should be ashamed of themselves. Our government should do a better job of protecting its people from bad food. Every industry is all about money & not people.
Big Pharma pays for the FDA -legally (!?!).
No profit in health... on SOOO many levels.
This was an excellent video Trinity! It’s super important and this needs to address now so we don’t loose all the family ranches! They are the heartbeat of America along with the farmer! 👍👍 great job! Keep this going!
I survived colon cancer (so far). Living in Western SD I’m fortunate that I can buy my beef direct from a rancher or small locker. Since my surgery I’m more sensitive to digestive food process. I have noticed when I grab meat in a pinch (usually forget to thaw something) from a grocery store my stomach doesn’t feel right and often upset. Unlike when I cook beef product from the rancher/locker. A young couple of friends of mine in Az are similar with any protein his wife eats from the grocery store resulting in a frequent trip to the ER. But fish they catch themselves, wild game and protein direct from ranchers she is always ok with. Stuff in the stores is chemically added poison anymore.
This is the first video I ever watched of yours, the content perked my interests especially since I use to be a 13 year grocery store butcher.
All those years I had an interest in breaking down carcus or as they call it “hook beef” coming from Conn the SH were in NewYork 2hour drive 1 way, then moved to NC SH 62miles 1 way. SH have been ousted from the community during the 80’s & 1 not all but 1 contributing factor was a movie called “faces of death”
We need SH back in our community’s…..
“In addition I grew up in deaf culture and the language is heavy gestures, but we use big, medium, small, gestures accordingly” you almost popped the gentleman in his head 3-4 times”
Done! I found a local butcher who sells beef from local ranchers. This feels good i need to start buying locally grown produce and eggs also. Thanks for this i guess ive been going along with my head up my keister.
It’s not just beef, I used to drive refrigerated trucks and haul broccoli from Laredo to Kent Washington and then back to Arlington Texas and then open up the doors of my trailer and I would have all these little boxes of broccoli stamped Made In the USA and this was in February there’s no broccoli 🥦 being grown in Texas in February and get unloaded at Walmart Distribution. So I agree 100% with you. We catch wild pigs and load them up in a livestock trailer and then haul them to Dallas for slaughter and processing into boxes to be flown to France and sold as “Wild Boar”. It used to be horse meat being transported to France but now it’s wild pigs.
The idea that trucking broccoli up from Mexico (I assume), across the Rockies all the way up to Washington, having a facility box it, then truck all the way back to Texas, under expensive refrigeration the entire way, is more cost-effective than producing and cold storing it locally, is mind-boggling to me. There have to be a bunch of non-economic incentives (tax, regulatory) behind these goofy practices.
I know some ranchers are doing it, but here in Michigan, several beef farmers are selling direct to consumers and making a decent profit. The apple industry is huge in Michigan, and for many years now, and the numbers are growing, apple grower have roadside markets. Some offer hay rides, corn mazes and many other homemade products to sell with their apples. This approach has kept many apple growers in business.
Great story!! More people need to know these truths!! Keep up the great work!
