Thank you for explaining things. We buy from Midwest Best Beef at our Iowa City Farmers Market and it is wonderful.

I would encourage you to ask Midwest Beef where they get their beef from. Where in the Midwest exactly? It would be great too to consider buying from local producers right near your home.

Thanks for caring!!

Oh Beth, you have succinctly written about the struggles of trying to be good stewards and being rewarded for our commitment. Thank you for the graphic of JBS. I had no idea all those labels were owned by them. Our family is fortunate to have nearby neighbors from whom we buy our meat. They go through the process you described to market locally. It is as exhausting as the physical farming is.
