I agree.
I think it would be a great marketing tool to know exactly how nutritious the grass-fed beef is. Everything you said about marketing the beef and having knowledge about how it is finished, etc. could be applied on a much larger scale so that many producers could benefit. Could it not be a way for many producers to get off the packer merry-go-round?
But I think to do that the grass-fed industry has to move beyond selling this beef to friends and neighbours and look to carve out a wider market share with professional marketing, processing, etc. to establish a branded product that the consumer looks for and can get at, say, Co-Op. Do you see this as a possible way for producers to gain more control over the profits and how do we get there from here?
