Belinda, CLA and grain, was Re: pastured vs. range-fed

[Guest guest]

Belinda I completely disagree, I think we can get A LOT carried

away ;-)

But even at that its just a response to a time and place that is so

extreme to the other side a little over reaction every so often ain't

so bad.

I suppose you could say there are going to be varying degrees of

quality in everything, sometimes based on facts sometimes based on

perspective sometimes based on who knows what. Either way from what

I know about your place that you've posted over the last year I think

your producing superior food than most of planet earth gets access

to, even in the event that some of their pasture was not perfect.

Keep up the good work.

Ps- you can also use this info for future pasture you might create or

for other farmers in the area. It is always good to at least know

what's ideal. And then reality sets in ;-)
