Lasater Grasslands Beef
As described in Fast Food Nation, the Lasater Ranch represents the future of American Beef: sustainable agriculture. It’s healthier for the cows, healthier for the consumer, and healthier for the planet. In the long run, it is also cheaper for the ranch, the consumer, and even the economy.
Lasater Ranch doesn’t use herbicides to control weeds, instead importing weed-eating bugs and using goats to crop the grass. They do not poison predators, and even use them to improve the breed of their cattle. As neighboring ranches have failed, they have persisted… plus they still dry-age their beef for a superior product.
