They're weaned after six to nine months, then grazed a bit more on pasture. They're then \"finished\" for about 120 days on high-energy corn and other grains in a feedlot, gaining weight fast and creating that fat-marbled beef that consumers like. At about 14 to 18 months of age, they are sent to slaughter. (One downside of the feedlot system, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/04/02/707406946/some-in-the-beef-industry-are-bucking-the-widespread-use-of-antibiotics-heres-ho\">as we've reported\u003c/a>, is that a diet of corn can lead to liver abscesses in cattle, which is why animals who eat it receive antibiotics as part of their feed.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a grass-fed and finished scenario, cattle spend their entire lives on grass. Since their feed is much lower in energy, they are sent to slaughter later — between 18 to 24 months of age, after a finishing period, still on grass, of 190 days. Their weight at slaughter averages about 1,200 pounds compared with about 1,350 pounds for feedlot animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's the environmental argument for grass-fed beef? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grass-fed movement is based on a large idea, one known as \u003ca href=\"https://regenerationinternational.org/why-regenerative-agriculture/\">regenerative agriculture\u003c/a> or holistic management. It holds that grazing ruminant populations are key to a healthy ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think of the hordes of bison that once roamed the prairies. Their manure returned nutrients to the soil. And because these animals grazed on grass, the land didn't have to be plowed to plant corn for feed, so deep-rooted grasses that prevent erosion flourished.

It can boost the nutrient content and flavor of livestock and plants. And because grasses trap atmospheric carbon dioxide, the grass-fed system can also help fight climate change.

The larger the animal and the shorter its life, the lower its footprint. But she adds, \"We're learning that there are other dimensions: soil health, carbon and landscape health. Separating them is doing us a disservice.\" She and other researchers are trying to figure out how to incorporate those factors into an LCA analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanley co-authored a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308521X17310338#.WpHorNqe0qU.twitter\">recent LCA study,\u003c/a> led by Jason Rowntree of Michigan State University, that found carbon-trapping benefits of the grass-fed approach.

But in the U.S., which does have a corn belt that suffers from cold winters, she believes grain finishing is the more efficient way to produce beef. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us to our next point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you know where your grass-fed beef came from? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 75% to 80% of grass-fed beef sold in the U.S. is grown abroad, from Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America, according to a 2017 \u003ca href=\"https://www.stonebarnscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Grassfed_Full_v2.pdf\">report\u003c/a> from the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture.

They're weaned after six to nine months, then grazed a bit more on pasture. They're then \"finished\" for about 120 days on high-energy corn and other grains in a feedlot, gaining weight fast and creating that fat-marbled beef that consumers like. At about 14 to 18 months of age, they are sent to slaughter. (One downside of the feedlot system, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/04/02/707406946/some-in-the-beef-industry-are-bucking-the-widespread-use-of-antibiotics-heres-ho\">as we've reported\u003c/a>, is that a diet of corn can lead to liver abscesses in cattle, which is why animals who eat it receive antibiotics as part of their feed.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a grass-fed and finished scenario, cattle spend their entire lives on grass. Since their feed is much lower in energy, they are sent to slaughter later — between 18 to 24 months of age, after a finishing period, still on grass, of 190 days. Their weight at slaughter averages about 1,200 pounds compared with about 1,350 pounds for feedlot animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's the environmental argument for grass-fed beef? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grass-fed movement is based on a large idea, one known as \u003ca href=\"https://regenerationinternational.org/why-regenerative-agriculture/\">regenerative agriculture\u003c/a> or holistic management. It holds that grazing ruminant populations are key to a healthy ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think of the hordes of bison that once roamed the prairies. Their manure returned nutrients to the soil. And because these animals grazed on grass, the land didn't have to be plowed to plant corn for feed, so deep-rooted grasses that prevent erosion flourished. Had those iconic herds still been around in the 1930s, the argument goes, they would have helped prevent the catastrophe of the Dust Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourth-generation Oregon rancher Cory Carman runs a 5,000-acre \u003ca href=\"https://carmanranch.com/\">grass-fed beef cattle operation\u003c/a>, where grazing is key to restoring ecosystem balance. \"Agricultural livestock are this incredible tool in promoting soil health,\" she says. \"The longer you can manage cattle on pasture range, the more they can contribute to ecosystem regeneration.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"bayareabites_133231,bayareabites_131706","label":"About Antibiotics in Beef Production ","align":"left"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nReturning cattle and other ruminants to the land for their entire lives can result in multiple benefits, according to organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.savory.global/\">Savory Institute\u003c/a>, including restoring soil microbial diversity, and making the land more resilient to flooding and drought.

The larger the animal and the shorter its life, the lower its footprint. But she adds, \"We're learning that there are other dimensions: soil health, carbon and landscape health. Separating them is doing us a disservice.\" She and other researchers are trying to figure out how to incorporate those factors into an LCA analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanley co-authored a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308521X17310338#.WpHorNqe0qU.twitter\">recent LCA study,\u003c/a> led by Jason Rowntree of Michigan State University, that found carbon-trapping benefits of the grass-fed approach.

I mean, Thanksgiving and Christmas are barely 4 weeks apart (sometimes more, sometimes less). Who really, truly wants to eat turkey again so soon? So my brother and I took it upon ourselves to come up with the ultimate feast. A once-a-year extravaganza of food we would never normally cook, mostly due to budget and health considerations. Say hello to the roast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, one of the most elaborate things you can bestow upon your dinner party is a glorious roast. From a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/12/17/a-holiday-feast-roasted-beef-tenderloin-with-port-shallot-and-mushroom-sauce/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whole beef tenderloin\u003c/a> to a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/12/18/holiday-dinner-main-dish-roast-rack-of-lamb-with-garlic-and-herb-butter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rack of lamb\u003c/a>, over the years we’ve served them all. I find this elaborate because I don’t normally eat a ton of meat, either regularly or in one sitting. And to serve a roast, you typically need to have quite a few guests to help you devour it (because we certainly don’t want any tiny little morsel of it to go to waste).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, we decided to go classic old-school: prime rib. This feeds both the Texan in me and my brother, and the Brit in my husband. To create the ultimate steakhouse dinner, make this prime rib roast with the jus (a well-seasoned, light gravy) along with the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/12/19/a-holiday-christmas-classic-yorkshire-puddings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yorkshire puddings\u003c/a> and creamed spinach that we added to the menu this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seek out the best quality roast you can find from a reputable butcher. Look for a first cut, 3-bone prime rib which gives you more meat and less fat. That being said, you want to make sure that you get a roast that has nice marbling throughout. If you really want to splurge, be sure to ask for Prime grade beef, rather than Choice which is what most supermarkets carry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114052\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg\" alt=\"Beef Prime Rib Roast\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beef Prime Rib Roast \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You can leave the ribs attached to the roast if you like, but to make carving easier once the roast is cooked, ask your butcher (or do it yourself!) ahead of time to cut the ribs off of the roast.

Using butcher’s twine or kitchen string, tie the roast twice between the bones, running parallel to the bones, and re-attaching the bones to the roast.

It’s imperative to have a meat thermometer for this purpose, you don’t want to just guesstimate! Remove the roast from the oven, transfer the roast to a carving board, and tent it loosely with foil. Let the roast stand for about 30 minutes before carving. This “resting” period allows the juices to redistribute and will result in a juicier, more tender roast. The internal temperature of the roast will continue to rise as it rests. This also leaves you with the perfect opportunity to make Yorkshire Puddings.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114037\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114037\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan.jpg\" alt=\"Roast until a meat thermometer registers 115F for rare or 125F for medium-rare, about 1 ½ to 2 hours.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roast until a meat thermometer registers 115F for rare or 125F for medium-rare, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114044\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114044\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-final1.jpg\" alt=\"Remove the roast from the oven, transfer the roast to a carving board, and tent it loosely with foil.

I mean, Thanksgiving and Christmas are barely 4 weeks apart (sometimes more, sometimes less). Who really, truly wants to eat turkey again so soon? So my brother and I took it upon ourselves to come up with the ultimate feast. A once-a-year extravaganza of food we would never normally cook, mostly due to budget and health considerations. Say hello to the roast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, one of the most elaborate things you can bestow upon your dinner party is a glorious roast. From a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/12/17/a-holiday-feast-roasted-beef-tenderloin-with-port-shallot-and-mushroom-sauce/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whole beef tenderloin\u003c/a> to a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/12/18/holiday-dinner-main-dish-roast-rack-of-lamb-with-garlic-and-herb-butter/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rack of lamb\u003c/a>, over the years we’ve served them all. I find this elaborate because I don’t normally eat a ton of meat, either regularly or in one sitting. And to serve a roast, you typically need to have quite a few guests to help you devour it (because we certainly don’t want any tiny little morsel of it to go to waste).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, we decided to go classic old-school: prime rib. This feeds both the Texan in me and my brother, and the Brit in my husband. To create the ultimate steakhouse dinner, make this prime rib roast with the jus (a well-seasoned, light gravy) along with the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/12/19/a-holiday-christmas-classic-yorkshire-puddings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yorkshire puddings\u003c/a> and creamed spinach that we added to the menu this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seek out the best quality roast you can find from a reputable butcher. Look for a first cut, 3-bone prime rib which gives you more meat and less fat. That being said, you want to make sure that you get a roast that has nice marbling throughout. If you really want to splurge, be sure to ask for Prime grade beef, rather than Choice which is what most supermarkets carry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114052\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg\" alt=\"Beef Prime Rib Roast\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-raw-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beef Prime Rib Roast \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You can leave the ribs attached to the roast if you like, but to make carving easier once the roast is cooked, ask your butcher (or do it yourself!) ahead of time to cut the ribs off of the roast.

It’s imperative to have a meat thermometer for this purpose, you don’t want to just guesstimate! Remove the roast from the oven, transfer the roast to a carving board, and tent it loosely with foil. Let the roast stand for about 30 minutes before carving. This “resting” period allows the juices to redistribute and will result in a juicier, more tender roast. The internal temperature of the roast will continue to rise as it rests. This also leaves you with the perfect opportunity to make Yorkshire Puddings.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114037\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114037\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan.jpg\" alt=\"Roast until a meat thermometer registers 115F for rare or 125F for medium-rare, about 1 ½ to 2 hours.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-cooked-pan-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roast until a meat thermometer registers 115F for rare or 125F for medium-rare, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114044\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-114044\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/prime-rib-final1.jpg\" alt=\"Remove the roast from the oven, transfer the roast to a carving board, and tent it loosely with foil.

Indeed, most cows spend at least six months eating grass, before they are “finished,” or fattened up, with grain. \u003ca href=\"http://www.beefusa.org/uDocs/Feedlot%20finishing%20fact%20sheet%20FINAL_4%2026%2006.pdf\">The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association puts that number at 12 months\u003c/a>, but most grain-finished beef cows don’t live beyond 18 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to rancher and the author of \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/2014/12/01/nicolette-niman-our-beef-shouldnt-be-with-cows/\">Defending Beef\u003c/a> Nicolette Hahn Niman, the real number likely falls somewhere in the middle. “On average, the cattle in the U.S. that is going through feedlots is slaughtered at 14-16 months,” she says. “They do grow fatter and faster if they’re being fed grain, so they’re going into feedlots at younger ages to shorten that time as much as possible.” In a feedlot environment, grain causes cows to put on about one pound for every six pounds of feed they eat. In contrast, grass-fed cows are slaughtered anywhere between 18-36 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you keep cattle on grass their whole lives, and truly have them forage for a diet that their bodies have evolved to eat, you allow them to grow at a slower pace,” says Niman. Not surprisingly, caring for the animal for so long can be expensive for ranchers and consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many informed eaters will tell you that this slower process results in a signature flavor and distinct leanness that sets it apart from its corn-fed counterpart, but the fact is that beef producers can label their product “grass-fed,” even if the animal is fed grain over the course of its lifetime. Unlike the lengthy auditing process involved in U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) organic certification, the use of “grass-fed” is only regulated under the agency’s “\u003ca href=\"http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/ams.fetchTemplateData.do?template=TemplateN&rightNav1=GrassFedMarketingClaimStandards&topNav=&leftNav=GradingCertificationandVerfication&page=GrassFedMarketingClaims&resultType=\">marketing claim standards.\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to these standards, grass-fed cows are supposed to be given continuous access to rangeland, and they cannot be fed grains or grain by-products. In the event of drought or other “adverse weather conditions,” farmers are allowed to bend these rules if the animal’s wellness is in jeopardy, but they must maintain meticulous records. Unfortunately, these regulations are, for the most part, a paper tiger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Missing Oversight\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marilyn Noble of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.americangrassfed.org/\">American Grassfed Association\u003c/a> argues that beef producers have little incentive to stick with those rules. “It’s a big issue, and there is a lot of misunderstanding. The Agricultural Marketing Service developed the grass-fed standard, but the Food Safety and Inspection Service actually enforces it,” says Noble. “The two organizations, even though they’re both part of the USDA, don’t communicate especially well. You see a lot of beef labeled as ‘grass-fed,’ but whether or not it actually meets that standard is questionable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noble’s skepticism is rooted in the fact that, for the most part, the USDA allows producers to determine whether or not their beef meets the grass-fed beef marketing claim standard. Noble says farms “self-certify” their own beef, and the Food Safety and Inspection Service generally goes along with their claim. The ubiquitous “naturally raised” label on meat \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/2014/09/12/can-you-trust-the-natural-label/\">has no enforceable meaning either\u003c/a>, and further muddles a consumer’s ability to find beef that has been exclusively raised on pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Grassfed Association, established in 2003, has far more stringent standards for its own label than the USDA, and hires third-party auditors to inspect the farms of its \u003ca href=\"http://www.americangrassfed.org/producer-profiles/\">100-plus certified producers\u003c/a> across the country each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmers’ markets are also often full of vendors offering grass-fed beef from their own pastures. And the rising popularity of \u003ca href=\"http://www.localharvest.org/store/meats.jsp\">meat CSAs\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwild.com/products/\">whole animal buying clubs\u003c/a> is an indication of how dramatically this trend has grown in recent years. With these options, consumers can talk directly to farmers to find out how their beef was raised. Many of these producers have begun using the term “pasture raised,” another unregulated labeling term that is popular among ranchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Whole Foods has adopted some of this farm-to-market language in its meat sourcing standards. For example, “pasture-centered” farms score a 4 out of 5 on the grocer’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/about-our-products/quality-standards/animal-welfare-standards\">Animal Welfare Rating scale (owned by Global Animal Partnership)\u003c/a>. In reality, Niman says, these animals may not be doing much of the foraging that gives grass-fed beef its nutritional benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Whole Foods] has been encouraging this segment of beef in the marketplace where animals are roaming on a small area with vegetative cover,” says Niman. “But they’re being provided feed, and not actually getting most of their nutrition from foraging. It’s almost like a feedlot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatlikeitmatters.com/\">BN Ranch\u003c/a>, which Nicolette operates with her husband, Bill Niman, “the godfather of sustainable meat” and founder of Niman Ranch, cattle is given more time to slowly develop fat over a period of more than two years. For the Nimans, good “eating quality” in the beef is paramount. But, Nicolette says, that’s not always the case on farms where people are “doing it for philosophical reasons. They believe that grazing is ecologically superior, and that it is the right way to raise cattle. The things that are motivating them are not eating quality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, grass-fed beef’s lean flavor is often seen as inferior. Some chefs, particularly in fine-dining steakhouses, still resist serving grass-fed beef in favor of corn-fed, USDA prime beef, because of its fat content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Worth the Wait\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Sohocki, chef of \u003ca href=\"http://www.restaurantgwendolyn.com/\">Restaurant Gwendolyn\u003c/a> in San Antonio, Texas, chooses grass-fed beef over the cheaper, richer, corn-fed cuts because he firmly believes that the process is worth the extra time and money. And his discerning diners come to his restaurant because they know the meat has been properly sourced. “When you eat stockyard beef, all of that beef is the same,” says Sohocki. “It’s done that way to guarantee its consistency. That’s what McDonald’s specializes in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sohocki calls grass-fed beef “the only trustworthy product left in this world.” He sources it from nearby \u003ca href=\"http://www.shudderanch.com/\">Shudde Ranch\u003c/a>, where Jeanne and Gerry Shudde make a point of raising a specialized cross-breed of species suited to naturally develop fat on pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our [cows] are on grass when they’re with their mother. And when separated, they stay on the grass,” says Gerry Shudde.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Shuddes decided to go grass-fed by chance after acquiring a herd of Longhorn cattle that they planned to cross-breed with their own. The offspring did not fare well, but the Shuddes ultimately decided to keep the longhorn cows. When they butchered a six-year-old cow, which had been raised on grass for much longer than usual, Jeanne says, “It was really tender. We thought ‘gosh, this tastes better than what we get in the grocery store.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From there, the Shuddes developed their own, new breed of grass-fed cattle. They were already raising cows without antibiotics or hormones, and their farm eventually evolved into a completely grass-fed operation by 2002. Still, they had to find the right cow to produce the quality of beef that they desired. “Most of the animals that you find today have been genetically selected to do well in a feedlot environment,” says Jeanne. “If you take them and put them on grass and think they will [taste good], I’d say maybe, maybe not. But if you take an animal that is genetically survival-oriented, it will become well-marbled on grass.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their own cows are now a cross between that original herd of Longhorn cattle and a heritage Devon bull. “Our belief is that if they eat what they evolved to eat, and live in the way that they have evolved to, the nutrition for the animal’s survival will be there,” says Jeanne. “If the nutrition is there, humans will get that nutrition when we eat the meat.”\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"As demand for grass-fed beef explodes, a range of practices and labels (and a lack of regulation) persists.

The ubiquitous “naturally raised” label on meat \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/2014/09/12/can-you-trust-the-natural-label/\">has no enforceable meaning either\u003c/a>, and further muddles a consumer’s ability to find beef that has been exclusively raised on pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Grassfed Association, established in 2003, has far more stringent standards for its own label than the USDA, and hires third-party auditors to inspect the farms of its \u003ca href=\"http://www.americangrassfed.org/producer-profiles/\">100-plus certified producers\u003c/a> across the country each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmers’ markets are also often full of vendors offering grass-fed beef from their own pastures. And the rising popularity of \u003ca href=\"http://www.localharvest.org/store/meats.jsp\">meat CSAs\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwild.com/products/\">whole animal buying clubs\u003c/a> is an indication of how dramatically this trend has grown in recent years. With these options, consumers can talk directly to farmers to find out how their beef was raised. Many of these producers have begun using the term “pasture raised,” another unregulated labeling term that is popular among ranchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Whole Foods has adopted some of this farm-to-market language in its meat sourcing standards. For example, “pasture-centered” farms score a 4 out of 5 on the grocer’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/about-our-products/quality-standards/animal-welfare-standards\">Animal Welfare Rating scale (owned by Global Animal Partnership)\u003c/a>. In reality, Niman says, these animals may not be doing much of the foraging that gives grass-fed beef its nutritional benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Whole Foods] has been encouraging this segment of beef in the marketplace where animals are roaming on a small area with vegetative cover,” says Niman. “But they’re being provided feed, and not actually getting most of their nutrition from foraging. It’s almost like a feedlot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatlikeitmatters.com/\">BN Ranch\u003c/a>, which Nicolette operates with her husband, Bill Niman, “the godfather of sustainable meat” and founder of Niman Ranch, cattle is given more time to slowly develop fat over a period of more than two years. For the Nimans, good “eating quality” in the beef is paramount. But, Nicolette says, that’s not always the case on farms where people are “doing it for philosophical reasons. They believe that grazing is ecologically superior, and that it is the right way to raise cattle. The things that are motivating them are not eating quality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, grass-fed beef’s lean flavor is often seen as inferior. Some chefs, particularly in fine-dining steakhouses, still resist serving grass-fed beef in favor of corn-fed, USDA prime beef, because of its fat content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Worth the Wait\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Sohocki, chef of \u003ca href=\"http://www.restaurantgwendolyn.com/\">Restaurant Gwendolyn\u003c/a> in San Antonio, Texas, chooses grass-fed beef over the cheaper, richer, corn-fed cuts because he firmly believes that the process is worth the extra time and money. And his discerning diners come to his restaurant because they know the meat has been properly sourced. “When you eat stockyard beef, all of that beef is the same,” says Sohocki. “It’s done that way to guarantee its consistency. That’s what McDonald’s specializes in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sohocki calls grass-fed beef “the only trustworthy product left in this world.” He sources it from nearby \u003ca href=\"http://www.shudderanch.com/\">Shudde Ranch\u003c/a>, where Jeanne and Gerry Shudde make a point of raising a specialized cross-breed of species suited to naturally develop fat on pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our [cows] are on grass when they’re with their mother. And when separated, they stay on the grass,” says Gerry Shudde.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Shuddes decided to go grass-fed by chance after acquiring a herd of Longhorn cattle that they planned to cross-breed with their own. The offspring did not fare well, but the Shuddes ultimately decided to keep the longhorn cows. When they butchered a six-year-old cow, which had been raised on grass for much longer than usual, Jeanne says, “It was really tender. We thought ‘gosh, this tastes better than what we get in the grocery store.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From there, the Shuddes developed their own, new breed of grass-fed cattle. They were already raising cows without antibiotics or hormones, and their farm eventually evolved into a completely grass-fed operation by 2002. Still, they had to find the right cow to produce the quality of beef that they desired. “Most of the animals that you find today have been genetically selected to do well in a feedlot environment,” says Jeanne. “If you take them and put them on grass and think they will [taste good], I’d say maybe, maybe not. But if you take an animal that is genetically survival-oriented, it will become well-marbled on grass.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their own cows are now a cross between that original herd of Longhorn cattle and a heritage Devon bull. “Our belief is that if they eat what they evolved to eat, and live in the way that they have evolved to, the nutrition for the animal’s survival will be there,” says Jeanne. “If the nutrition is there, humans will get that nutrition when we eat the meat.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/97693/is-your-grass-fed-beef-for-real-heres-how-to-tell-and-why-it-matters","authors":["byline_bayareabites_97693"],"categories":["bayareabites_13718","bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_1245","bayareabites_12555","bayareabites_2035"],"tags":["bayareabites_14609","bayareabites_620","bayareabites_1852","bayareabites_9807","bayareabites_10774","bayareabites_243","bayareabites_14610","bayareabites_9699"],"featImg":"bayareabites_97698","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_92346":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_92346","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"92346","score":null,"sort":[1422393282000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"beef-packers-block-plan-to-revive-growth-promoting-drug","title":"Beef Packers Block Plan To Revive Growth-Promoting Drug ","publishDate":1422393282,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_92347\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/01/cows_enl-787a2778cbfa3a7f89e6053b47103554f8a3abf7-e1422392884964.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/01/cows_enl-787a2778cbfa3a7f89e6053b47103554f8a3abf7-e1422392884964.jpg\" alt=\"Cattle in holding pens at the Simplot feedlot located next to a slaughterhouse in Burbank, Washington on Dec. 26, 2013.

I’m not a big steak person, but this is really special, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut from the short loin section, this large boneless roast is one of the most tender pieces of beef you can buy. Which also makes it an expensive cut of meat (and one that I reserve exclusively for very special occasions, such as the holidays). Because of that, the pressure is on: you don’t want to screw it up!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to select a good-quality cut of meat from a reputable butcher or market. You can use this recipe to prepare a whole tenderloin, which can range in size from 4 to 6 lbs. Or, have your butcher cut a smaller tenderloin—I used a 3 lb roast—for fewer people. Ideally choose the thicker butt end, although if you get the tail end, tuck the tail under and tie the roast every 1 to 2 inches; this ensures that the roast is about the same size throughout and will roast evenly.

You can use this recipe to prepare a whole tenderloin, which can range in size from 4 to 6 lbs. Or, have your butcher cut a smaller tenderloin—I used a 3 lb roast—for fewer people. Ideally choose the thicker butt end, although if you get the tail end, tuck the tail under and tie the roast every 1 to 2 inches; this ensures that the roast is about the same size throughout and will roast evenly. Also, make sure you trim the silverskin off of the tenderloin (before you tie it!), as the silverskin becomes tough when cooked, and makes the tenderloin difficult to slice once roasted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because I always make this with a flavorful sauce to serve alongside, there’s no need to do anything much to the tenderloin except season it with salt and pepper and pop it into the oven (in a roasting pan, on a rack) to roast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Here are the temperatures you are aiming for when roasting:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>120°F to 125°F for rare\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>125°F to 130°F for medium rare\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Once you take the tenderloin out and transfer it to a cutting board, tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 20 or up to 30 minutes before slicing.
