338: Grass-Fed Beef: What Your Rancher Wants You To Know with Brian Blackbird
This episode is a fun one because I’ve got a very special guest joining me… my husband! 🤠❤️
If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ve definitely heard me mention him - the man who has lovingly put up with all of my “try this, eat this, do this” ideas over the years 😄
But the wildest one?
The day I came home from a weekend in Las Vegas and told him he should completely change his cattle operation… and start raising grass-fed beef.
We didn’t even really know what that meant at the time.
And yet - we did it anyway.
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what that actually looked like:
🥩 What “grass-fed” really means (and why it’s not all the same)
🥩 Why some grass-fed beef tastes amazing… and some doesn’t
🥩 What most people don’t understand about buying beef
🥩 The truth about the US labels at the grocery store
🥩 And what it really took to flip a ranching operation upside down
This is the kind of conversation we’ve had for years - usually over coffee in the kitchen - figuring things out as we go and trying to steward what God has given us well.
If you’ve ever wondered where your food actually comes from…
or you’re trying to make better choices for yourself or your family…
This episode is going to give you a whole new perspective.
