Food Security: Grass-Fed Traditions Offers Half a Beef Cow of Premium Grass-fed Beef DELIVERED to Your Home for a Limited Time!
Grass-fed Traditions is one of the major product lines in my online store, Healthy Traditions, which was started almost two decades ago, working with small-scale family farmers in Western Wisconsin, most of whom are Amish. One of the Amish families we started working with back then had an amazing herd of beef cattle that was 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, but they could only sell their beef as "organic", which meant they got the same price per pound as beef cows raised in feedlots on "organic" grains. One of the breeds they worked with that was available in that area of Wisconsin was the very rare Galloway breed of beef cattle. Galloway cattle are an ancient breed that originated in the rugged hill country of southwestern Scotland. They are related to the Angus which was developed in northeastern Scotland. While the Angus was selected for rapid growth on better feed in feedlots, the Galloway was selected for its ability to thrive on poor forage in a cold wet climate. They are a very ancient and rare breed, numbering only about 26,000 worldwide, with most herds located in Europe. They were first imported to the states in the 1850s and are very rare in the U.S., and we are one of the few (and possibly only) retailers offering them to the public. The Galloway, unrivaled as a grazing breed, utilizes coarse grasses frequently shunned by other breeds. They have the ability to produce a high quality beef product directly from grass. We only process our famous Galloway beef during a short window of time each year starting in October when the herd is still grazing on green grass. Due to pressures on small family farmers this year during a time of economic uncertainty, we are unsure about our ability to continue selling this wonderful grass-fed and grass-finished Galloway beef online throughout the course of the next year ahead of us. Therefore, in order to secure as many head of Galloway cows this year as possible from our small-scale family farmers to keep this herd going, for a limited time we are offering bulk half cows sent directly from the butcher shop to your home. This will allow you to store some of the finest grass-fed beef in your own freezer for a fraction of the cost it would take to place multiple orders throughout the year, even if we survive the current economic times.
