The Meat Hook

Right now I’m reading the works of François Guénon, a scientist that came up with a system of  raising dairy cows to give more milk in 1838. The rub here is that this was about 100 years before hormones, antibiotics for CAFOs so his systems are all based on getting animals more productive through selective breeding, weaning practices and pasture management. Basically the foundations of raising great beef on grass.

What you say? What does dairy have to do with beef? Well, simply put, if the animal in question is not a dairy cow guess where the fat and protein goes? Yep right to making bigger and better steaks in their calves. Best part is that even though I couldn’t sell my first born to get a copy of the original book it does exist for free in an online archive. I take back all the bad things I’ve said about you, internet.
