Saturday evening 100% grass fed Links

by | Nov 9, 2024 | Daily Links | 185 comments

Kind of a surprise when you run into a cow in an alpine forest.

So I read the beef discussion this morning and thought I would chime in. OM was half correct when I said grass fed is inferior. What he failed to mention is that I was talking about texture.

Idaho has a thriving grass fed beef market. The feed has a very high mineral content, due to Idaho soil, which improves flavor. Much of it is 100% grass fed and finished. The problem with pure grass fed is that you don’t get the marbling you would have with grain finished, or fed a pure grain diet. Therefore “like a hot knife through butter” rarely applies. A few miles from here is a now defunct finishing yard. Ranchers would gather their cattle from mountain pastures or the open range, and bring them in for six weeks of pure grain before slaughter.

My preference is what I buy from a friend who raises a few steer every year. They are pasture grass fed and supplemented with grain starting the day they arrive. Six weeks before slaughter, the grain is switched over to COB(Corn, Oats, Barley) to maximize marbling. What I get is grass fed flavor with grain fed texture. It’s a happy medium. Pure grass fed is too chewy to me, and the last time I had a grain fed Prime quality steak, it cut with a fork and had zero flavor. YMMV.

He only got 312 electoral votes, so Kamala was obviously the better choice.

I’m just going to leave this here for general entertainment purposes.

Good riddance. I’ve known a number of people completely fucked over by no-fault divorce.

The rumor that OMWC is emigrating is a pernicious lie.

OFFS.

QUILTBAG could not be reached for comment.

I must say, this gave me a good belly laugh. Kind of hard to fight when you’re holding your phone in one hand, and cranking the hog with the other.

“So you’re telling me they once had an Empire?”

Okay, that’s it for me. For some reason, I have a hankering to make a pot of chili. Peace out, Glibbies.

    There was no way in hell that OMB was going to landslide with over 400 EV. while he did better in both states, even if biden stayed in Trump was never going to get CA (54 EV) and NY (28). With those two off the table 400 is almost impossible

    • Tundra

      If the retard states that signed on to the popular vote stupidity lived up to their agreement he would be over 500.

      Without the cheating, who the fuck knows. Even here I’m noticing a LOT of happy people.

    “Scientists”

    The United States is now a failed Democratic state. With the reelection of Donald Trump, a candidate who has flaunted his desire for autocracy—aided and abetted by a Republican-controlled Congress that will not constrain him with guardrails—the United States is now poised to become an authoritarian state ruled by plutocrats and fossil fuel interests. It is now, in short, a petrostate.

    The oligarchs who control the Republican party do not intend to waste valuable time—as they did during Trump’s first term—in implementing their fossil fuel-driven agenda. They already have a blueprint—Project 2025—ready to go on day one, which will gut government agencies and programs focused on renewable energy and climate action and double down on fossil fuel infrastructure and production.

    At least they capitalized “Democrat”.

      I guess that get out the vote campaign didn’t play out how the commies wanted.

      “White wizard” is problematic, and implies the need for a “white savior”.

      ‘failed Democratic state’

      It’s a Republic, fools.

      ‘become an authoritarian state ruled by plutocrats’

      Most of the plutocrats supported Calamity, and the current State of the Union is already displaying authoritarian Stasi-like tendencies.

      ‘fossil fuel-driven agenda’

      People want to eat, not just affordably, but EAT. Net Zero would ensure a lot of starvation.

      ‘Project 2025’

      Wish lists denounced by the candidate himself are not agendas.

      Sorry to be obvious here.

    • rhywun

      Stop, I can only get so hard.

      Anyway… guesses. Guardian? Jacobins?

    We too must choose to do battle against the forces of darkness, fighting back against a malevolent movement that represents fascism, authoritarianism, racism, misogyny, and bigotry, a movement that uses antiscientific disinformation as its preferred weapon. We do this not because our success is guaranteed. Given the forces mobilized against us, we are clearly the underdog. No white wizard will come to our rescue. But we have truth and justice on our side. And the stakes simply couldn’t be greater. We continue to fight for a livable planet, for us, our children, and future generations. Because it’s worth fighting for.

      Translation: in spite of the fact that we had the media, Big Tech, education and culture in the tank for us, we still got crushed because our policies are so abysmal. Therefore, instead of learning from that fact and tacking toward the center, we’re going to duodecuple down and shout NAZI! even louder.

      • rhywun

        I’m OK with that. By all means, Dems, stay the course.

    • DenverJ

      “White wizard” is problematic, and implies the need for a “white savior”.

    • R C Dean

      That could just as well have been a Trump speech. Tell me which of those boxes (including misogyny, which trans is on steroids) the Dems don’t check.

    Spud speaks wisdom on beef. Grass fed grain supplemented/finished is where it’s at.

    • Nephilium

      One of the things I lost due to the shutdowns was a steak house that had a steak tasting menu. From memory three 6 ounce cuts, one grass fed, one grain fed, one dry aged, and an option to add a wagyu steak. I was planning on going when I hit my goal weight (which I was ~8 pounds away from when the lockdowns started).

  5. Q Continuum

    “Biden’s internal polling showed Trump winning 400 electoral votes”

    Instead of losing by 7 touchdowns we only lost by 4; so in reality we actually won by 3 touchdowns!

    Speaking of grass fed cattle- a guy has a little herd on the land right behind me. Cows and bulls together. Every now and then a new addition to the herd will show up. A new calf just appeared, which kind of surprised me that one would be born going into winter, but it’s not like this is the high line of Montana.

    My grandfather, who was a dairy farmer, never had a bull on his farm. All bull calves were shipped off to the auction as soon as they were old enough.

    • DenverJ

      How did new calves, of either gender, appear if there was no bull?

      • Tonio

        Artificial insemination. Srsly.

      • Mojeaux

        See Mike Rowe, Dirty Jobs with horses.

    • Semi-Spartan Dad

      Sounds like my herd. Except we have two bulls. Didn’t plan that… just kept the bull calf around too long and then he became part of the farm. We should hopefully be getting several calves this Spring. Any bull calves will become steer and then grass fed/grain finished. The heifers will grow out for a year and then sell as breeding stock.

      Both bulls are dog tame. They run over to be scratched as soon as we walk out into the pasture. I forget that’s not typical for bulls. Several years we ago we had hay delivered. I looked out the window to see the guys standing on top of their hay trailer yelling “the bull’s loose!”. They climbed down when I walked out there and explained it was alright.

      Still have to be careful though around even a friendly animal that size. I’ve seen them toss a 700lb round bale 6 feet into the air with their horns.

      “…will regard the United States as a bad actor with neither the capacity or willingness to make good on its previous climate commitments. Yes, there will be a US delegation in Baku representing the Biden administration, which has demonstrated a commitment to international climate policy engagement. But given that any climate-forward actions adopted by the United States will invariably be reversed in a few short months, China, India, the European Union, and other major industrial nations will not pay much attention to what US negotiators have to say.” Sigh. Heavy sigh. The Constitution actually has a remedy for this: send a treaty to the Senate. If confirmed, it becomes law, and the next president can’t unilaterally end it. But, the Greens know they can’t get these agreements passed in the Senate, and thus are reduced to using executive privileges to enforce illegal agreements.

      • DenverJ

        Executive orders, not privileges

      • rhywun

        China, India, the European Union, and other major industrial nations will not pay much attention to what US negotiators have to say.

        lol China has no intention of playing along with this nonsense.

        I suspect India too.

        The EU makes the right noises but it’s obvious that cracks are already forming.

  7. RAHeinlein

    I know we debated this previously – grass fed versus corn fed beef?

    I’ll take corn fed every time, especially after enjoying my recently processed CBA (picked-up from the locker yesterday).

    • Ted S.

      Why do you keep your collective bargaining agreement in a locker?

  8. KK, Plump & Unfiltered

    My next door neighbor had a trailer delivered today (he traded his old one in and got a 2022 40′). Anyhoo, evidently the place that sold it to him delivered it with the black tank valve open and some shitpiss in there. When he took the cap off, about 1/2 a gallon of black water poured out.

    So my yard smells like shitty piss. Or pissy shit.

    Favreau also called Biden’s reelection bid a “catastrophic mistake,” saying his “inner circle” refused to believe he was “unpopular.”

    Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the bestest most popular President of all?

  10. The Late P Brooks

    How did new calves, of either gender, appear if there was no bull?

    On my grandfather’s farm- artificial insemination.

    • DenverJ

      Ahh. Yes, AI has come a long way.

    • Aloysious

      Oh, I thought it was something different.

      I have an uncle twice removed on my mothers side who used to breed his own horses.

      Funny, they were all bald just like him.

    Can someone explain no-fault divorce to me? Pretty much every dude I know who has been through a divorce has been royally fucked, but I have no idea if it’s that or just judges.

    • DenverJ

      I think it has to do with bulls being shipped off and calfs being produced by AI?

    • DenverJ

      Seriously though to answer your question. Back in the day marriage was until death. Divorce could only be had by proving that your spouse was infertile, unfaithful, abusive, or some such. So if you just hate each other, you still have to be married. No- fault allows either spouse to unilaterally say “I’m out”. Because of social norms in place during at-fault, men often are ordered to pay alimony to their x, even if she initiated the divorce. Also, custody is heavily skewed in the woman’s favor.

    • R C Dean

      No fault just means whoever files doesn’t need to show some legally recognized cause – just, “I’m done”. The rest is pretty much business as usual for divorces since women didn’t have jobs and raised the kids while hubby went to the assembly line every day.

    • Tundra

      Thanks, boys. I had coffee this morning with a couple of my friends who have 5 divorces between them. Maybe this no-fault thing isn’t a net positive?

      • DenverJ

        I think it is. Being stuck in a bad marriage, where the only way out is to publicly trash a person with lies is not great. Or consider a spouse in an emotionally abusive relationship- how would you even prove that (before cell phones)?

      • Ownbestenemy

        Maybe a judge to determine if it should proceed as a no fault? I was in a no fault and I lost my ass for nearly a decade.

      • DenverJ

        Was going to ad that the problem is outdated guidelines for judges regarding things like alimony, custody, child support, etc. Imagine your wife one day decides to leave, takes the kids, and goes to court. Judge orders you to pay her alimony, plus child support, and health insurance for all three. You were paying all that before, but you were part of it, in the house you pay for, for example. Now, all your money still goes to your family, but you also have to pay for a crummy little apartment, etc.

      • Spudalicious

        You find out she’s been fucking your golf buddies. She files for divorce and requests lifetime alimony because she was a stay at home mom. Everything gets split 50/50, and she’ll probably get alimony.

        You could really make them stop and think if you said abortion or voting – choose one.

  12. The Late P Brooks

    Juggernaut

    Brad Pritchett, the interim chief executive of LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Texas, condemned Hinojosa’s comments and the wider argument by some Democrats that trans people contributed to Democratic losses.

    “This is something that Democrats need to stop and remember what their values are,” Pritchett said in an interview with NBC News. “We live and run campaigns by the values we hold dear.”

    He also said Democrats should not be “alienating” some of their most loyal supporters. Eighty-six percent of LGBTQ voters said they supported Vice President Kamala Harris compared with 12% who said they supported Donald Trump, according to NBC News exit polling of 10 key states.

    Between the 2020 and 2024 elections, transgender rights have become a political flashpoint in the nation’s culture wars.

    Eighty six percent of one percent of the population? That’s definitely the market segment you should be chasing.

    • rhywun

      Eighty-six percent

      I don’t believe that number for a second.

  13. The Late P Brooks

    Don’t forget the cucks who like to watch the bulls.

      OK, almost Irish whiskey all over the keyboard.

      • Raven Nation

        Thanks for the info on the thermometers!

        My pleasure. I’m a temp nerd and I don’t want you to lose your meat (!)

      • DenverJ

        My favorite was “Frum warns that Trump will fill his administration with MAGA loyalists. This is very rare, of course, because most administrations fill their political ranks with people who disagree with them.”

      • Raven Nation

        Yeah, ended up dumping everything when I got back in August. Definitely more than $500 worth. May have been OK, but there was definitely a question mark and we decided better safe than sorry.

      I wonder if the author of that piece doesn’t recognize that Britain is experiencing the same birth dearth as pUtIn.

    OK, since y’all solved the beef question, how about pork? Most of the easily available processed stuff is shit – anyone have a regenerative source for excellent piggies?

    • LCDR_Fish

      via my podcast ads, I’ve heard good things from Charlie Cooke about moink.com but I don’t buy enough meat yet to make it worth my trying it.

      • dbleagle

        European pork (D, I, F, NL) is nothing like US pork. If your orders ever come through you should enjoy the high quality.

        I’ve been introducing a friend of mine to some of the more exotic parts that he’s never had. Couple weeks back, it was pig ears at Mabel’s BBQ, last week it was marrow from Butcher and Brewer. He’s been taunting his daughters about making them try those bits.

        I still miss the pig tails from Mabel’s.

      • Tundra

        Awesome. Thanks!

      • slumbrew

        Sadly, while my (((wife))) eats bacon now, she’s still not a pork fan in general. So things like pork chops end up being restaurant items for me (I had an excellent one Thursday night).

    • Spudalicious

      Check with local butchers. I can buy half, or whole kurabota pig here.

      • Tundra

        Cool. I should have started there.

    • DEG

      Bonus if the source can provide good Mett.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Part of it has been the demand for lower fat pork over the past several decades. Producers responded to it.

      • Spudalicious

        This. That’s why industrial pig is so lean. Local source is the way to go, and I’ve found when it comes to hog, that it’s not that much more expensive.

    • slumbrew

    Political Jon Favreau is a hack and The Hill thinking he is going to give anything other than a hack answer is like asking one of Trump’s lackeys the same thing.

  16. trshmnstr

    We had grass-fed, grain-finished brisket tonight. Good stuff! IMO, the only issues with texture were related to poor decisions on the cut sheet.

  17. Evan from Evansville

    Jeremy Clarkson is a favorite of mine. Top Gear and Grand Tour were great, but Clarkson’s Farm is, in the ‘actually matters’ way, a hailing achievement to show the viewer what the everyday farmer has to Wade through to use their own land.

    Of elderly folk, him and Larry David are perhaps my favorites. Larry David’s work is fantastic. Especially now, I can’t imagine how unpleasant he and the folk around them are now. They’ve most likely posted it somewhere easy to access. I shant go a’lookin’ for ’em.

      A good sign that Trump learned lessons from the first go-round.

        My gosh, take the W when you can get it. Are libertarians such whipped dogs that they can’t even enjoy positive developments without Eeyoring it all? Let the man actually backtrack before getting on him for backtracking.

        OBE is in the belly of the beast, as it were, so I think a little cynicism is justified. There are jillions more neocons to defeat & purge.

      They tried a protest here, it drew dozens. I’ve not heard of any repeats.

      There was the attempt to regroup the CHAZ in Seattle that was quickly stomped.

  20. Ownbestenemy

    I want to give a huge shout out to Swiss. A few years ago on the Zooms I mentioned I felt I did nothing during my time served in the USAF because I never deployed. Swiss provided some great words of wisdom that my mission was here in the States and I accomplished that mission.

    Last weekend, Mrs OBE and I were out and about and met some guys at a bar. One of them eventually was talking with me how he felt he was a disgrace to his family as they were all military and he couldn’t join because of medical reasons. Turned out he volunteered at the VA, at VFW Posts and a many other causes for Vets.

    Because of Swiss, I was able to let him know that maybe he didn’t put on the uniform, his mission was to help us on our pathways back home; from overseas or even a military base stateside to ensure we were receiving the benefits and care we fought hard to protect. Not often do you have to let another man know its okay to cry in a bar. Guy was truly appreciative and it wasn’t just because of me, it was another brother in uniform that helped me see that we serve in many different capacities.

  21. Ownbestenemy

    First GameJam with the kids was a bust. We made a character walk around a room a la Doom style and didn’t meet our goals. Our next project:

    Core Concept: A player navigates a ruined, labyrinthine library, uncovering hidden memories that gradually reveal their lost past. The player uses dual paths and shadow clones to progress through increasingly challenging areas and uncover secrets about themselves.

    Have until January to make it happen. It has been awesome working with them to unlock their capacities and creativeness.

  22. The Hyperbole

    Glad to see that libertarians have given up on the “Get government out of marriage” and embraced the freedom of having the state tell you who you have to live with.

    Also none of you people are listening to enough John Hiatt.

    • Nephilium

      Meh. I’ve always thought the government shouldn’t be involved in marriages. Leave that to the religions.

      But I can see the arguments for the marriage is a contract part, and do believe that marriage is a bum deal for men in the current environment/court systems.

      • The Hyperbole

        Pinky swears aren’t actual contracts, the rest of us have no reason to be forced to enforce them.

      • trshmnstr

        Pinky swears aren’t actual contracts,

        And out the door goes 250 years of common law where the paper was a mere memorialization of the “meeting of the minds”.

      • slumbrew

        That’s a terrible take, Hype.

      • The Hyperbole

        As an anarchist I don’t recognize the state as a legitimate authority, If you people want to get married (i.e. make contractual transactions) and form some group that enforces them fine, I want no part of it and don’t expect other people that may not want to participate to be involved either.

      • slumbrew

        But you understand contracts are a thing, right? Including verbal contracts?

        Regardless of your preferred enforcement mechanism, “Pinky swears aren’t actual contracts” is a terrible take.

    • trshmnstr

      Glad to see that libertarians have given up on the “Get government out of marriage”

      If that happened, I haven’t noticed the difference. Did all 5 libertarian substacks publish articles on the topic? Did all zero libertarian legislatures pass laws restricting marriage? Or are you tilting at imaginary windmills?

      • The Hyperbole

        I thought that was pretty obvious.

      • trshmnstr

        I missed whether you were referring to something or not, so I wasnt sure if you were just being passive aggressive about some comment somebody made earlier in the day, or if you forgot to include a link or if im missing some big libertarian news item or what.

  23. DenverJ

    Still haven’t done my struts. Tomorrow. But they are not quick struts; I have to put the new shock in the old spring. I am nervous. Thinking that lining up the top bolts with where it bolts to the suspension might be hard. Or is it set up to only fit one way?

    • Tundra

      Do you have the spring compressor?

      Be fucking careful

      • R.J.

        Agreed. Glibs with home made spring compressors and big car springs don’t mix.

      • slumbrew

        Big springs, like garage door springs, are quietly terrifyingly dangerous.

  26. mock-star

    Correct me if Im wrong, but aren’t grains all from grasses? Growing up on a very small farm when “grass fed” first started being marketed as a good thing, I always joked that the beef cow we raised every year was grass fed. We fed them grain every day, but they also were out to pasture every day too. I miss raising my own food. I loved going to get the feed ground. The mill, for a few extra dollars, would mix in old expired candy bars. The cows went nuts over it.

    • SarumanTheGreat

      Yes grains are the seeds of grasses. The grass in grass-fed beef are the leaves and stems of grasses, not the seeds.

      You popped in as I’m heading to bed.

      Good seeing you.

      • Festus

        I don’t visit because I haven’t much to say. We did gather two fuzzy kittehs since the demise of the beloved grey boy. I didn’t want but that doesn’t matter much anymore.

    Its like year 2000 making its rounds again on YouTube. I love it.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Okay…on a great rabbit hole of YT. Hank Hill layin down tracks.

      The drago-gator is the best thing ever.

      Trailer park Sansa is more than a bit of alright.

    • Festus

      Thanks for the well wishes. I miss you all too.

    Trump is an orange bigot and not normal because he didn’t cower in a fetal position after getting shot.

    /literally the first 30 seconds of SNL I have watched in about 20 years

    • Ownbestenemy

      I see they have learned.

    • slumbrew

      I tuned for the first time in forever because “Bill Burr is funny”.

      Yikes. That was painful.

      • rhywun

        “Bill Burr is funny”

        Is he?

        I think I clicked because I mixed up his name with Bill Hicks or something.

    • Brochettaward

      They are so un-masculine that they can’t fathom that people would admire how he responded to being shot.

    • Ted S.

      When his Secret Service handlers hid him in a White House bunker during the Georgr Floyd Mostly Peaceful Protests®, the left sneered at him for that.

  29. Festus

    Bill Burr is this centuries Andrew Dice Clay. He’s not funny, he’s just an asshole.

    • rhywun

      Yeah, that is the impression I got.

      Also, I was slightly curious about what a “Mk.gee” is supposed to be. But then Bill Burr turned out to be not funny so I popped in a Blu-ray instead.

    I grew up on pasture raised/ grain added beef. It’s ok but not great.

    Wish there was a good marbling option around here. “Prime” is completely hit or miss. Mostly miss. It’s just not beef country. Or pork. Maybe chickens?

  31. Gustave Lytton

    Fuck Trump’s green cards for grads. Not in this country legally? No deferral, no amnesty, no path to citizenship, automatic deportation back to country of citizenship.

    Morning all.
    Often at night I will play ambient music to sleep by. The ambient music stuff on YouTube is put together by AIs.
    I see they are studying us. They are learning to push out subconscious buttons. Look at the graphics they make. It is remarkable really.
    The rain/thunder ones almost all have fireplaces with a warm glow, of course. I noticed in a number of the lakeside cabin exterior shots show the cabin fireplace facing outside the cabin, not inward. There are lots of little flaws like that designed to appeal to your subconscious but completely wrong. The emotional appeal is strong enough that if you dont carefully look for it you will miss most of that stuff.
    Something to keep in mind when dealing with these things and making decisions more important than what sound to sleep to.

    Having said that, I agree: The Drago-gator is awesome.

    I did not want to start a debate on beef, just was courious what you csn find in US steakhouses.

    • UnCivilServant

      I don’t find good beef in steakhouses so far.

      On the other hand, I also don’t often visit the expensive places.

      • Don escaped Memphis

        expensive places

        That’s a big part of it for easterners, I’m sure. Logistics is a big part of cost, so you’re not going to ring up excellent, cheap seafood in Topeka.

        Same goes for steakhouses: go where the cattle are, and what’s on the menu shifts….or at least what qualifies or what is advertised shifts. The beef burgs are Kansas City and Chicago.

        The best ribeye I ever has was at the Chop House.

        I never eat sirloin in the South, but in Laramie that’s the best thing on the menu for lunch, they told me. ‘Twas brilliant.

    • Ted S.

      I wouldn’t know; I can’t afford steakhouses.

      I’d generally rather learn to cook for myself anyway. The only thing is Dad likes his food very plain….

  34. Not Adahn

    Bread is out of the oven.

    Now off to the park while it cools.

  35. Sean

    Ugh. Christmas music has started.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      🎶Blah blah blah blah blah
      Pa rum pum pum-pum🎶

      Or are you hating on the newer shittier poppier music?
