Pasture raised, grass fed and humanly treated animals should be the only way america farms. It may cost a little more to buy, but americans health and animal welfare will make up for it 3 fold! My eyes have been opened! I have taken a vow to myself to never buy feed lot, confined animals or their products. Keep up the GREAT work!!!

Salatin wrote a book called “Everything I Want To Do is Illegal.” It is a good read and proves that point very well. The laws are written, not to make our food safer, but to require so much infrastructure that guys like Salatin can’t do business easily.

the biggest roadblock to this kind of farming is the State and federal government.

He isn’t a free ranger, his herds (and flocks) are tightly controlled. That way each square foot of pasture is maximized. With a free range operation the animal graze willy nilly and you need a lot of room to keep them from flogging certain areas. Other areas remain under grazed. You should get out his web sight, its really interesting stuff.

i don’t mind his product because the animals had a peace full life. unlike the more machine run farms. those animals suffer from birth to death.

“did you just spaz at someone for saying the word nice?”
spaz?! Yeah. I did. What’s it to you? I said what I thought was a relevant & appropriate commentary on how those at the top that are supposed to be making good, sound decisions on our behalf, but are nothing but a bunch of stupid idiots hellbent on doing everything they can in the name of greed & profit instead of long-term sustainability, and I get a sarcastic little “nice” as a comment from a clueless little ant.

“nice”
Nice?!!! you, asshole! Most politicians ARE jackasses — in politics solely for their own personal gain, not for the welfare of the country and the globe.
And below you go “????” to a positively-made comment. Why in the are you even checking out the DiscoveryNetworks channel anyway, having such a closed mind as you do? Hmm, Douchebag? you!
