Did you know that there is more chemical residue in conventional beef than in a head of lettuce or box of GMO crackers?
The Environmental Working Group estimates that a whopping 167 million pounds of pesticides are used each year just to grow food for animals in the United States.
For glyphosate (ROUNDUP), which is the most commonly used pesticide in the world, residues allowed in animal feed can be more than 100 times that allowed on grains consumed directly by humans.
The amount of glyphosate allowed in red meat is more than 20 times that for most plant crops.
Roundup is known to cause cancer and kidney issues.
Pesticide residues in the corn that conventional beef is eating isn't the only source...
It can be in the water supply too!
If you're buying beef from a grassfed producer whose water source is downstream from a farm that sprays pesticides on their crops--then their cows are drinking that pesticide-laden water!
For locals here--if a ranch is downstream from places like Olathe that are spraying pesticides on vast swaths of corn fields...that's a bad deal.
It may be pretty hard to find out where a farm's water supply comes from....a lot of homework might be involved.
We have a customer who asked us this question before buying beef from us.
He had medical issues and he was reducing chemical toxicity in his food by only sourcing verified, clean food sources.
Good news: our cows drink mountain snow melt from the Silver Jack Reservoir.
The only places this water passes through are other mountain and grazing grounds that aren't sprayed with pesticides.
(No cornfields between our ranch and its water source)
The reason all this matters is that things like harmful pesticide residues can be stored in the fat tissues of animals and concentrated over time.
We want our customers to have the cleanest, healthiest beef possible.
That's why we tell you exactly where our water comes from and that our fields are NEVER sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers.
It's been that way for 18 years and we don't plan to change it.
Our soil is healthier for it and our beef is too.
That translates into a healthier you!
