Rebecca......you really need to spend some time away from the east......then
you'd know what the rest of the people are talking about.
Sad to say that the majority of cattle that produce the beef sold in this
country do not get to spend any time on grass--rather, they live as others
are describing. Dairy cattle, too, just as Emilie described.
(that's not including imported beef, of course)
Here in the east we don't have the same kind of cattle industry. Even
in Virginia, where the state funded beef cattle industry has the animals out
in big fields...on a couple of farms. However, this is no longer the norm
for our animal food supply. There are chicken factories all thru the
Shenandoah Valley........long barracks-like buildings....the hens never ever
ever get to go out and scratch in the dirt.............
