Consumer Comment on Grass Fed Meat

Dear Conscious Consumer
The new Grass Fed Meat Association is drawing up protocols for farmers producing grass fed and free range meat. Much has been written about the differences between grain fed and grass fed meat.

We believe that grain is not the natural diet of ruminants (animals that chew cud) and therefore creates havoc with their digestive systems; leading to further health problems which then require the use of routine antibiotics. Farmers tell us that supplemental feeds such as grain are often sold with antibiotics already part of the food mix.
We are compiling a list of criteria that we feel are important and will be sending these to GFMA by 9 March 2015. By completing the form below, you can help us create the standards that you wish to see as part of the GFMA’s protocols – your views should also be important to them.
Thanks!
The Grass Team
