It also shows the farmers commitment to animals. I choose beef cattle as my topic. Hope it shows how great farmers are and how much the world needs them.

With recent beef recalls for the inhumane treatment of downer cows plus the concern over e coli and mad cow disease, Fox News investigated typical supermarket feedlot beef vs the health benefits of grass fed beef.

Fox News spent the day with Dr. Patricia Whisnant. She is a veterinarian, grass farmer, the President of American Grassfed Association, owner of AmericanGrassFedBeef.com and processes USDA certified organic beef for local family farms. Her grass fed beef is certified Free Farmed Humane by American Humane.

Dr. Whisnant states that grass fed beef is healthier for consumers, safer, eco friendly, better for the environment and better for animals.

Fox News did an independent test on AmericanGrassFedBeef.com and supermarket beef. They found AmericanGrassFedBeef.com was higher in protein, lower in fat and cholesterol.
