Official Ram Trucks Super Bowl Commercial "Farmer"

In honor of , we wanted to share one of our favorite videos with you.

The average American farmers feeds over 165 people PER DAY, and that food doesn't just show up on your dinner table. Today is a great day to show appreciation for the farmers and producers you have locally.

Thank you farmers, now more than ever!

And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker." So God made a farmer. God said, "I need somebody willing to ge...

This is important to understand with misinformation spreading like wildfire. As cattle producers, we take pride in our animals and their health. Please read this post to better understand the depths we go to ensure every animal is cared for properly!

Ellen once stated: “50 billion animals a year are killed and I think we all fool ourselves that there is some kind of happy cow and that it’s a quick death, that they just hit him in the head and that they are out.

“They are all in pain, they are all treated badly. They are all diseased and they are all pumped with antibiotics. It’s a very disturbing reality...”

Except...that’s not how it happens. That’s not even close to how it happens. I like Ellen. I think she does some really incredible things for people and animals. But, what I don’t love, is how she is using her global platform to perpetuate misinformation, dare I say lies, about livestock producers.

I could get into the whole discussion of how cow farts are ruining the environment, but I’m not a scientist, so I’ll leave that to my friends like .

I will, however, speak to the accusations of animal maltreatment.

The animals are not all pumped with antibiotics. Do they get sick? Sure. Are they treated with an antibiotic if they’re sick? They can be, so long as they are not part of a special “all natural” program, that I won’t get into right now.

If cattle are given an antibiotic, that animal must go through a very strict “withdrawal” period before it can be slaughtered. All beef is tested prior to packaging and if a facility is not adhering to these strict antibiotic protocols, the meat is condemned and wasted, and the facility can be fined or even shut down.

And on a very basic economic level, antibiotics are expensive. So, unless it is absolutely necessary, antibiotics don’t make financial sense. But, according to Ellen, we’re just shooting antibiotics at everything that moves.

Cattle are not mistreated. Are there isolated incidents of mistreatment? I’m sure there are, but that is the exception. NOT the standard. It would be like saying all dogs are mistreated after reading a story about one person abusing their own dog. Generalizations are dangerous.

A happy animal is going to produce the best results. A happy cow will milk better. A happy steer will gain weight faster.

I’ll speak to what I know personally-cattle raised for beef are fed Thanksgiving dinner three times a day. Every day.

They have all the water they can drink. There are regulations in place to ensure they have adequate space in which to live.

I have a feeling, though, that facts aren’t what people are interested in. Facts are boring. Sensationalism is what sells. And rather than taking the time to speak to the hard working individuals who actually live this life, it’s more appealing to regurgitate fabricated information and feign outrage.

See, what is so disappointing about Ellen specifically, is that she preaches inclusion and education. If I remember correctly, at the close of every show, she says “be kind to one another”.

Well, Ellen, perpetuating gross misinformation about the industry tasked with feeding our country is not kind. In fact, it’s incredibly irresponsible.

We constantly see the same buzzwords pertaining to shopping in our small, beloved communities.

“Shop Local” “Shop Small” ”Be Local”

But have we ever actually considered the impact it has on our communities when we do not follow through with these actions?

It’s so easy to shop at big box stores on your way home from work. To grab everything you need in one place. To save those extra few dollars. But how much are we really saving?

Money spent at local businesses generates 3-5 times MORE WEALTH for the local economy compared to shopping at a chain-owned business. When you spend $100 at a locally owned business, $68 stays within YOUR COMMUNITY in the form of employee wages, taxes, donations, etc. compared to only $43 when shopping with a non-locally-owned business. These local businesses and families are the ones investing in your schools, your infrastructure, and your communities.

You might be thinking you simply can’t afford to shop at the small, family-owned store in your town. But in reality, how can you afford NOT to?

Take a look 👀⬇️

ALL OF THE MEAT you buy at the grocery store or in a restaurant is USDA-inspected and humanely-processed. Scaring the crap out of consumers that animals are not treated well at the packing plant is a common fear-mongering tactic used by AR groups (that I will not mention). It doesn’t matter if we are talking beef, veal, pork, lamb, chicken, duck or turkey… it is slaughtered under strict welfare guidelines and VETERINARY supervision!! Yes, veterinarians are involved in animal health and food safety! We call it “One-health”! The USDA has put in many checks and balances to ensure that the animal products served to your families are safe, nutritious and processed under the highest care standards. This is why we have the safest food supply in the world, a fact that I think most people severely underappreciate. Below are a couple links for further information about USDA guidelines and the strict standards they follow!

County Fairs Are Still Important

"Fairs not only promote agriculture, but also supply jobs; support rural economic development and local commerce; and provide opportunities for youth and adult education. The success of a fair is dependent on its volunteers and youth through programs like 4-H."

4-H is a cornerstone in our community & we are grateful to be actively involved in all aspects of it. Take a look at this article to better understand the importance of county fairs and youth being involved in 4-H! 🐮🐷🐔

There's more to fairs than just fried food and Ferris wheels.

We always think it is important to share information that can sometimes be misleading about the food we eat. Please take a look at this infographic to learn more!

The natural hormones (estrogen) in cattle at time of slaughter are 2ng, the hormone levels in implanted cattle at time of slaughter is 3ng. One serving of Tofu the day you unwrap it at home is 51,483,600ng of hormones (estrogen). So if you are worried about hormones in your food eat more beef stay away from tofu!!!
