How do we buy beef from this outfit? I'd be fine with their beef, if I knew where I could buy it. My usual grocery outlets at Kroger, Publix, and occasionally COSTCO... and they all have their own sources for meats.
US Cattlemen's Association is a group of people who "represent" cattle producers in DC to push for policies to "better" the beef cattle business. I am admittedly not too familiar with them or what they push for. Most of these groups collect donations under the guise of helping, and just pocket it. Not unlike most of these types of groups. R-CALF is however a pretty good one.
Point to note: The Beef Checkoff collects (steals) $1.00 for every single head of cattle sold in the country. Mandatory. It gets used to push for things that do not help. It basically lobbies for the meat packer conglomerate, who control beef prices to their benefit. Akin to hedge funds in the stock market.
As far as fresh local beef, just talk to local farmers. TN has plenty of home grown beef. If you use that farce book crap, that is a pretty good way to get connected also.

Thanks... I don't use the Fakebook crap but my wife does. I'll ask her to look around locally.
