    This information is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!!! As a carnivore, I live 5 hours away from Colorado Springs and would be absolutely willing to drive to his store there, buy a lot of his frozen beef and pork and drive all the way back home with it just to support him. I refuse to buy the awful, bad-tasting beef from those big, evil, monopolizing meat packers who supply meat found in Albertson's, Walmart and other supermarkets. I am on a mission to support local ranchers and employees, to vote with my dollars for the best beef that will send the message to the monopolizers that I do NOT support their idiocy of choosing profits over people and proper nourishment. Period. Thank you, Trinity, for this fantastic interview and education!

Generations before us were sold the lie and we are now seeing how the lie has unfolded for us regular folk. Bigger is not always better.

Then they are off to the auction probably to be sold off to corn finishers and processors. We can find this meat in our own grocery stores, but not in Walmart! What a difference in flavor.

    Agree with most of what you say. However there is nothing better about grass fed beef. Grass fed beef grades lower, and is cheaper to produce. Works with the marketing hype of Angus Breeders Association. You're buying marketing hype! If you notice, the best tasting beef is marbled. Look at Wagyu beef. Buy only Prime, it is not going to be grass fed. That would cost way to much to try to produce!

All cows eat grass but they have a better taste when finished out with grain for flavor ❤

    Really appreciate the insight in to the market! We (my family) own a small (1500~ acre) production unit (aka: The Farm! LOL!) that we channel through a (very) good cutter, that is not very happily close to us, and retail our own product locally, relying almost entirely on word of mouth to sell our production. I am immensely glad that we support a small business that provides a VERY good service as a slaughter an cutting house, as we do not yet have the capability locally to support. But I am also immensely happy that I do not have to make my business decisions, upon deciding just how slowly I starve myself to death, either. No Farmers, No Food! Perhaps stopping sending any food in to the cities would make that point clearer, to those who decided to support anti-farming initiatives!

About 25 yrs ago they stopped having that done in stores. The butchers were offered the opportunity to get CDL and drive or work elsewhere in distribution. I live in Upstate NY. I have ordered grass fed online from a few places. After listening to this podcast I am going to start to buy from a local meat mrkt in Canaseraga,NY. It is about a 45 minute drive from me but we'll Worth it. Another great you tube podcast is five generations of cowboys.

About the same for all the rest except the local grocery store chains are almost the same price!😎

    Open a hamburger stand in a large city. Build a small meat locker on your ranch. Butcher and grind your own cattle. Truck that meat to your hamburger stand and sell a quality burger at a fair price. Keep the hamburger stand basic. One burger sandwich. No frills just good beef. Ok, maybe sell fries too. You'd go through several calves per day easy.

    ​@@jlkkauffman7942 only has to be USDA inspected if crossing state lines to sell. You can in many states just have a state inspected facility as long as the meat isn't crossing state lines. And here in Indiana now the meat inspector doesn't have to inspect each carcass if it's custom butchering. So I can take cattle to the state inspected custom butcher shop and as long as it's coming home to my freezer it doesn't have to be poked by the inspector, if I want to sell my beef to the hamburger stand in town though I have to take it on a day when the inspector is going to be there. All of the custom butcher shops all over the state stay pretty booked up.

    In my case, I like to think of the feedlot as the sacrifice pasture, without the damage of overgrazing. Over the last 10 or so years we have been in a drought. The feedlot gives us a place to go with our cow herd instead of selling them off. It also allows us to increase the herd size for better impact in rotational grazing and is always there if the grass runs out.

    At 71 years old I’ve watched farmers getting less of the retail dollars. This as in the dairy farming business we started going down hill big time after Reaganomics set in. That let big corporations run over farmers. I went out of business in 2018 and I couldn’t recommend anyone going into farming business. Right now farmers are shopping the world for laborers. The government has created a big problem for food production in America. Those big corporations and families farming corporations are not producing future generations of laborers or management people. It’s all got to come from people that’s never been raised on a farm. Those government leaders hollowing close the borders have no idea how to run anything. This is going to cause big problems down the road. We were out spoken on corruption in dairy businesses and co-ops selling the farmers out. The southeast antitrust case proved that. DOJ didn’t criminally charge anyone for crimes against farmers. Big corporations are controlling USDA and FDA so farmers getting justice is out of question. I’ve been trying to get justice on my cases but USDA is blocking FBI investigations. Fact FBI does not investigate anything in Agriculture unless USDA invites them to. With head positions filled with big corporations people they’re not going to give farmers fair justice on anything. I’ve been feeling like I was farming under a dictator rule agriculture policy. That’s proven out to be right in most cases

    This first guy knows exactly what he’s talkin about. I’ve been a butcher/meat cutter my whole life. People who are meat cutters are box beef cutters. They cut meat. Butchers know how to to kill and process an animal from hoof to freezer. I was lucky to do both because in retail grocery stores, you need to make the product look nice to sell and I transferred that over to being a custom butcher. Very few people are left that know how to break an animal and know where all the cuts come from.

    Very interesting piece of doco here bloke. As an observer of the Australian market I see this exact sort of corporate grip on the stock owner as it is in the states. And this in itself is a terrible mistake, especially given the size of the market in Australia. I know many livestock farmers who are under terrible constraint via contract issue, and I wonder when the legislation designed to prevent this will ever be enforced. At least old mate has taken the mob on and seen some semblance of positive result. I also agree with the disdain for supermarket boxed meat distribution, the loss of skilled butchers over here is a real thing, and as sad as it is, the corporate plan to remove small business and grant the consumer the illusion of choice is a true reality for our future generations.

    The thing about Colorado that make this work so well is one, complementary laws that allow small farmers to sell to the public. Two, this area has a very educated consumer with the disposable income to pay for the much higher quality. As long as you can meet those two requirements. Most states don't or won't allow selling to the local unless things have changed recently.
