Because of its lower fat content, grass-fed beef runs the risk of drying out or becoming overcooked more quickly than grain-fed beef. To combat this, keep the meat moist. We have some great tips to make cooking easier:

There is something to be said about hybrid vigor.

The last couple of years, we've been playing with Highland crossbreds. The calf in this photo is a Highlangus heifer - her daddy was a Highland and her momma is a medium sized Angus. The calf is just over 3 months of age... she's huge and our animals are 100% grass-fed.

Last year, we delivered a Highlangus bull calf to a friend of ours who runs a feedlot full of Angus. Our 100% pastured calf was a week+ younger than most of his grained calves and probably a good 75 lbs heavier... taller too.

Our pigs love being outside. Most will choose a bed of straw over a hut. It's not unusual to see our American Guinea Hogs sleeping outside, even in a snowstorm... crazy little buggers.

Some farmers are raising their pigs more humanely in wide open spaces, instead of tight quarters, and selling them to restaurants and grocers increasingly interested in how animals are treated.

We embrace natural fatty foods on our farm - bacon, eggs, whole raw milk, sausage from our pastured pigs etc...

If my grandmother (a large German woman) could reach 90 years of age, by eating natural fats and/or things fried in lard, it would be crazy for me to think her diet was harmful. She ate the same as her parents... and before that... their parents ate as those did before them.

The British Medical Journal has issued a clarion call to all who want to ward off heart disease: Forget the statins and bring back the bacon (or at least the full-fat yogurt). Saturated fat is not the widow-maker it's been made out to be, writes British cardiologist Aseem Malhotra in a stinging "Obs...

Eating healthy starts with healthy food.

Anyone who pays even scant attention to where our food comes from is likely aware that some pretty unsavory things happen between the farm and your fork (see this month’s big story in Rolling Stone, for example).But some of these farming methods are more than just unappetizing: they could be deadly....

For all those out there who prefer beef over turkey on Thanksgiving, how about some smoked brisket?

Brisket is the meat of choice for barbecuing in the great state of Texas. In fact, it is considered the "National Dish of Texas." When brisket is cooked properly, it will be "fall apart tender and delicious". Smoking a brisket takes a lot of time and effort - but it is well worth the time as the final results are nothing less than spectacular!

This is so easy to make and so good! For best results, use a proper smoke/cooker that has a water tray for moisture.
