Taking a look at what they had, I engaged ranchers Dennis and Laurie Marsh in a conversation about how they raise their beef, and further- how they finish it. I liked what I heard. There’s no corn involved.

As you have noticed, I have a ‘thing’ about feeding cattle corn. My late uncle Robert, back in Parsons gave me chapter and verse as a teenager about why that was wrong - and why feedlots were terrible. If you’ve taken a bit of time to read Michael Pollan, or watch King Corn or Food, Inc. you’ll know that cattle were not designed to eat corn. They are herbivores. Corn does not make for either delicious or safe meat.

But I digress.
