pastured vs. range-fed

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Is there any difference between the terms " pastured " or " grass-fed " and

" range-fed " ? I was exposed to the latter mostly before being acquainted with

WAPF and this list, but either of the first two are used more in these parts. I

had been under the impression that " range-fed " meant a cow grazing on pasture,

but now I wonder. When I started eating meat again at the beginning of the

year, I asked the guy at Bread and Circus if he had any " range-fed " meat, and he

said that all the beef was range-fed 11 months of the year, and not during one

month. Does this mean it is grass-fed or can it mean other things? I am a

little suspicious now and figure I'm eating decent meat but prolly not the best.

Thanks,

Chris
