Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi , I'm sure most of you have heard of Ted's Montana Grill? I met the half owner McKerrow, Jr. and he was nice enough to tell me where they get their Buffalo slaughtered. I called and did some research and this is what I discovered: Buffalo are finished off for months on GRAIN. Another thing, if you have had their chili in the past, they put both beef and buffalo in it - they now proclaim only to put buffalo in, but who really knows, right. I ate there for 2 years thinking that the Buffalo was FREE RANGE and GRASS FEED – this is what I was told. Well, they totally misrepresent their product – ask one of the employees and they will still tell you that it is Grass Feed. A half lie is just as worse as a total lie. I applaud Ted for bringing back the Buffalo – shame on him for NOT doing the right thing. Buffalo should be finished off on GRASS and GRASS only! The point I am trying to make here is this, unless you personally know your farmer and the slaughter house you will NEVER know what you're eating, period! Lesson one: Know you're farmer! Lesson two: see lesson one! - PS Question EVERYTHING…and that includes me!!!!

Raising cattle on grass is only somewhat more expensive in man-hours, care for and attention to the animals, but the big difference in profit for farmers is in the extra weight the cattle gain when eating grains. Even the beef that is advertised as " grass-fed " is usually " finished " in the last month or two on grains (while the customer is charged grass-fed prices). Which is why I buy buffalo meat totally grass-fed. There was a wonderful documentary on PBS recently called " Holy Cow. " I only caught a small portion of it, but was happy to see the focus they had on grass-fed vs grain-fed. http://www.taichi4seniors.com <HTML><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC " -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN " " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd " ><BODY><FONT FACE= " monospace " SIZE= " 3 " > <B>IMPORTANT ADDRESSES</B> <UL> <LI><B><A HREF= " / " >NATIVE NUTRITION</A></B> online</LI> <LI><B><A HREF= " http://onibasu.com/ " >SEARCH</A></B> the entire message archive with Onibasu</LI> </UL></FONT> <PRE><FONT FACE= " monospace " SIZE= " 3 " ><B><A HREF= " mailto: -owner " >LIST OWNER:</A></B> Idol <B>MODERATORS:</B> Heidi Schuppenhauer Wanita Sears </FONT></PRE> </BODY> </HTML> --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 , I appreciate your concern and thank you for writing. I buy my bison from Northstar (I don't eat out at all) and have been assured from someone who has personally done the detective work that these animals are given no grain or any kind of commercial feed, ever. I buy only the heart, the liver and the fat and all of it is delicious. http://www.taichi4seniors.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
