Crowd Cow - Know Your Meat is Grass Fed and Fresh

Crowd Cow Meat When You Want to be SURE

The guys over at Crowd Cow sent me an email to see if I'd like to check out their new idea. Crowd Cow lets buyers select the cuts they want along with other buyers. This means you have a specific cut from a specific farm and not grinder mill, big-business meat that can be from goodness knows where and from cows that may be boosted up on steroids or just flat out sick.

I grew up eating meat from my Poppaw's farm which was a tiny farm. He'd have one or two cows and pigs and chickens and real mean old goose named Castro that bit me every chance he got. That is where I came up with fresh grass fed meat that all tastes a little different depending on the cow.

Crowd Cow sent me several cuts of meat including steak and ribs and also a tri-tip we're doing for the 4th of July.

Crowd Cow Steak on the PK Grill

You can see that the Crowd Cow meat does not have as much fat, but you see the juices plus the butter I put on to give a little kick. The only other thing on there is salt and pepper.

I can tell you that was one tasty steak. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Farm steak is so much better than the big mass produced ones.

You can get any part or parts you want as long as they are available. This is a great chance to try out some grilled beef tongue for example. The prime cuts, of course, go fast, so you have to jump in quick.

New cows come up as others sell out. They are mailed with cooling. Mine arrived in perfect condition.

If you try out Crowd Cow, be sure and let us all know what you thought. I thought it was a super idea, and the meat was excellent. 

La Cense Grass Fed Beef Arrives - Humane and Healthy

La Cense Came by 2nd Day UPS and Arrived in Perfect Condition


Packed Fresh and Ready for a Cook Out Tomorrow Night

I'm sure many folks saw the 60 Minutes special about the inhumane treatment of cattle and have read about concerns about preventive and other antibiotics given to cows. Pretty scary.

There are options though.

La Cense is a ranch in Montana - one of the oldest in the state. They have been selling natural grass fed beef since 2002.

The cows rotate on grassy pastures eating only natural vegetation. Some companies say "grass fed beef" but fatten up the animals before slaughter with grain. La Cense is 100% grass fed.

Growing up I always loved fresh beef when my Poppaw would butcher a cow. If you've never had meat from free range cows, then you're missing out. The meat is healthier for many reasons. In fact, grass fed beef ranks close to chicken breasts as far as being low in fat. They aren't bulked up like grocery cows. The flavor is wonderful too.

My box of La Cense meat came in today. The package was pefect, and the meat looks wonderful. My son works late tonight and the meat is frozen good and solid, so I think we'll plan on a cook out tomorrow night. Can't wait!
