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.

It's A Wonderful Life

It's A Wonderful Life – many families have the tradition of watching "It's A Wonderful Life" staring Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed by author Philip Van Doren Stern from his 1938 Christmas Tale originally titled "The Greatest Gift." RKO Radio pictures purchased his property who later sold it to Liberty Films. Frank Capra, as producer & director, developed the property for a movie and retitled "It's A Wonderful Life" with its debut in 1946. According to a Paul Harvey - The Rest Of The Story, the movie did not become popular until the 1970's because

Emotional Week = Short Newsletter

Difficult Week – About six weeks ago Beth’s mom Jackie found out her cancer had returned. Her condition worsened very fast and she passed away early Tuesday morning. Beth had been staying with her most of the last two weeks. Her funeral was Friday morning. Working with our team we were able to process chicken Tuesday & Wednesday mornings and post inventory. We also processed 8 pigs the afternoon of those two days and posted the fresh pork items. I want to express how much we appreciate our team who stepped up and did extra to support our farm and lessen the burden on Beth.

My Customer Response

Food deserts are regions where people have limited access to healthful and affordable food. This may be due to having a low income or having to travel farther to find healthful food options. Without access to healthful foods, people living in food deserts may be at higher risk of diet-related conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and micro-nutrient deficiencies. Medical News Today I would offer additional considerations to include: 1. In 2016 a study was made that determined MS imports $8.5 billion dollars worth of food. That was more than a billion greater than farm commodity crops generated in sales that year.
