Local, grass-fed beef for sale Mid-March

[Great-Kazoo]

I’ve bought from Sun praire beef and liked it. Here in CO. Grass fed.

On grass versus grain fed, there is a “Bearded Butcher” video on youtube where they take a steer from the same farm that were grass or grain fed and show the difference. Grass WAY leaner, which is what I see from Sun Praire. AWESOME hamburger. The leaner to me is better for ‘fatty’ cuts like Ribeyes, which store bought seem way to fatty. Conversely, I think cuts like Filets/Tenderloin need as much internal fat as they can get- to me those cuts in grass fed are just too lean- all muscle.

I’d like to see some grass raised, grain finished- who fits that bill?

In Denver, Olivers Butcher on 6th on the east side makes their own hamburger from their scraps. Talked to them about it and they said besides real ‘meat’ they don’t soak the meat in ‘stuff’ in water- which is what the big producers do to make hamburger. Seems true since when comparing their hamburger, store bought blows out a lot of steam/water.

Plus, after using store bought hamburger, it kind of freaks me out how much hot water and soap you have to use to get the ‘fat’ off of hands….

Most grass fed, is grain finished.

As for ground beef. I grind my own, i have zero faith and confidence. That todays GB isn't going to be on next months RECALLED! USDA list. realistically it usually takes about 2-3 months after the fact they get their shit together and recall anything food related.
