US Beef Industry Update –

Historic Reopening of China to U.S. Beef - National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President Craig Uden issued the following statement regarding the announcement from the White House that an agreement has been reached that will restore U.S. beef access to China:    “After being locked out of the world’s largest market for 13 years, we strongly welcome the announcement that an agreement has been made to restore U.S. beef exports to China. It’s impossible to overstate how beneficial this will be for America’s cattle producers. We look forward to providing nearly 1.4 billion new customers in China.

Cattle prices have increased 24% since the October 2016 lows. However, Nature's Gourmet Farm has actually decreased many of our prices. Here is a comparison of our premium grassfed beef as compared to Corner Market and Winn Dixie CAFO beef.

 NOTE: my website would not copy/paste the matrix from my newsletter. Bottom line:

Corner Market- $3458

Winn Dixie - $3186

Nature's Gourmet Farm - $3233

Seven Sons - $4534

*Corner Market & Winn Dixie are both CAFO grain-fed beef - poor stewardship of the Earth, Environment and animals

**Nature's Gourmet Farm & Seven Sons are both premium grass-fed beef and believe in Stewardship, accountability, and personal responsibility for caring for our Earth, Environment, and our Animals.

NOTE: the #/cut is from an actual whole steer processed by NGF in 2016. Hanging weight was 678#. Buying the whole steer Custom Processed vs. individual cuts would cost $2725 - a $508 savings. 

At only $3.50/lb. our Custom Processed Halves are the best family value - and 20% less than local competition.

Farm Improvements

Farm Improvements – Fresh water is a necessity for raising healthy animals on pasture. Until recently, we used an ICB tote on a small tralier that we would refill from our well. During the summer the frequency greatly increases in order to keep the chickens hydrated. So, I called my buddy at Southern Pipe and ordered pipe, fittings, etc. and then rented a trencher for May 16th to install 2,700 feet of 1.25 inch PVC pipe. Along the line we added 15 Plasson Quick Coupler Valves that we will hook to as we move the animals through our pastures.

My Advise How To Jump Start Small Farms In Mississippi

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” — Henry Kissinger The fight to change food from addictive to nutritive will most likely be harder than the fight regarding tobacco (smoking) in public places that started back in the 1980’s. Note that my comments are NOT a condemnation of anybody who may use tobacco in any way as this can be a sensitive topic. However, it is personal to me as my Dad smoked at least 45 of his 75 years and died of lung cancer.

Pasture Talk With Our Cows– Tuesday morning I was out checking on our cows and took the opportunity to record a short 2-minute story about the time I saved the life of one of the “pet” cows Number 608. Click to watch here. Small Farm Republic- is a book written by John Klar. A former attorney who contracted Lyme disease, John now farms in Vermont. I spent much of last weekend reading his book. He is very pro-small farms and presented a lot of evidence to support his position. On page 77 he makes a comparison to the number of farms and farmers during the Great Depression versus today. During the Great Depression the American population was 100 million. According to USDA charts
