No, I would not. I've been through the heartbreak of watching a fantastic horse become a pasture ornament and relapse yet again....God knows what we spent but it was a lot in his two attacks and he...

I agree with someone above who said Easyboot Gloves for faster work and particularly jumping. They are the best boots I've used to date and much prefer them to the kind that come up over the coronet...

Where does the fear come from? Perhaps from the steady string of recalls following disease outbreaks affecting thousands of people from the government from our "so called" safe food supply? How many...

And I've shown you a study that shows that grass fed versus grain fed does make a difference in the levels of dangerous bacteria...so who's right and who's wrong? From what you are saying, my study...

Bluey, unless they SPECIFICALLY tested cattle fed ONLY grass versus those fed grain AND they tested for the ACID RESISTANT strains of E Coli...which I did not see in that study...than it's comparing...

And you are completely ignoring the fact that this study is meaningless to this conversation as we do NOT know if they tested grass fed. "Natural" or "organic" does not mean the animals were fed...

I posted that study a page or so ago so before you go making assumptions that are wrong, go back and look for it. :)

There is plenty of evidence and studies that show that cattle in feed lots on...

Sorry to insist also, but I'm not making that assumption. You are jumping to conclusions that are not correct.

However, based on studies as well, I can be reasonably sure that grass finished...

Bluey, go back and check your posts. You quoted me twice and said two very different things! I'm not sure, but I think you meant to quote someone else.

Yes, perspective is our friend. To the...

Bluey,

You may not intend to be condescending but you manage to come across that way nicely. Your suggestion I go to quackwatch for my information for example as well as your statement and...

I think the idea of calling beet pulp shreds a "whole" ingredient is that they are not processed into another form of some kind. Many feeds contain beet pulp but it doesn't look like beet pulp...

Thanks! I will print this off and try it! :)

Thanks also Deltawave!

Yes, I figured out conventional but natural and organic are pretty vague and do not mean they were only fed grass. Unless they tested grass fed specifically, I'm not sure it's a good study to use. ...

Even though temps are staying abnormally warm here in my part of VA, I know it's Autumn because when I got out to feed in the mornings, the air is crisp and cooler. Humidity is down.

The foals,...

No I have not done that yet. I like the idea though! Do you freeze it?

What is your recipe? I kept the breast bones from all the chickens I cut up so I can hopefully make some good broth!
...

Where exactly in that study do they compare grass fed cattle to grain fed? I saw the terms "conventional, organic, and natural" used but nothing was defined. The point is that any cow fed grains will...

If nothing else, the routine use of antibiotics in animals has led to increased resistance in microbes as well as some interesting and particularly deadly forms of disease like E Coli. That variety...

No vaccine is 100% protection. I'd personally like to know also just how effective the encephalitis vaccines are in real life situations. I lost a yearling filly in late July to EEE. She was well...

A2...I may try the Razors. We've had a lot of rock hard dry feet this summer with this drought. My nippers (GE's) could hardly cut through them. The Top Sharps do OK but once they dull up a bit, I...

Amen! Wear gloves!

You will laugh but I wear a wrist guard (archery wrist protector) on my left wrist now. I'm so obnoxiously right handed and I have a tendency when I'm tired to hit my left...

Deltawave,

The point isn't that there is not some fat in the grass finished beef but that there is less of it..the mean is...

Maybe they didn't cook it appropriately for grass finished? That will make it tough if you cook it like a fatty feedlot steak.

Each to their own but I think you will find lots of people who...

Nonesense! I've had grass finished beef that never saw a kernel of corn in it's life and it was excellent.

One thing about grass finished beef that I've learned. You cannot cook it the same as grain finished. You have to cook it at lower heat and for not as long to achieve the same level of doneness as...

Bellota Top Sharp. I get them from several places.
