I have fewer problems with the meat being horse,or even kangaroo, as there was a scandal involving that down under a few years ago, than I have with the way most beef is raised in the U.S, and W. Europe and Britain. Unsanitary feedlots and high protean diets that combine to make the cattle sick, unless pumped up with antibiotics, have made me swear off “industrial beef”. I buy only organic, grass fed beef, and since it is expensive, less of it. Not a bad thing since I have cholesterol issues. This is a double benefit in that the flesh of grass fed beef is lower in saturated fat than feed lot beef.

My brother in law does this, but he is retired. I have a job, so I hit the farmers markets.
