“Beef … It’s What’s for Dinner” was a radio, television and print advertising campaign launched in 1992 by the National Livestock and Meat Board through its promotional arm “The Beef Industry Council” aimed to promote the benefits of beef in a healthy diet. It’s first narrator was Robert Mitchum, followed by James Garner and Sam Elliott, all actors known for their roles in “western” movies, strong men in turbulent times. The campaign ran for seventeen months and was very effective. The slogan “Beef … It’s What’s for Dinner” is recognized by more than 88 percent of Americans (even more amazing given the campaign ran almost thirty years ago).
Bob, thanks for the link. I really like their attitude towards the land and raising cattle. However, it appears they feed the cattle corn and finish them in feed lots, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). Rick
100% Grass finished Certified Piedmontese grass fed, grass finished beef, is source verified, nutritious, high-quality tender beef that has been raised humanely with the cattle and the land and its resources in mind. There is simply no reason to settle for less when choosing your grass fed, grass finished beef. https://www.piedmontese.com/shop.aspx?Category=Grass-Finished-Beef
Yes, I stand corrected, they do sell 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef. However, they also sell grain finished beef ... "Certified Piedmontese grass fed, grain finished beef, ..." The producers I cite only sell 100% grass-fed, grass-finished. I'll order some of their 100% grass-fed and grass-finished and try it; we no longer eat any corn-finished beef.
Makes me want a big ol' greasy cheesburger!

Not entirely true Richard. https://www.piedmontese.com/
From their Website:
"Our animals must be raised on vegetarian feed only; absolutely no animal by-products." Vegetarian = corn.
"Our ranches, partner producers, and feed yards receive routine visits from Lone Creek Cattle Company ..." Feed yard = Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation

I would be interested in your thoughts on how well you like the Piedmontese meat.
I understand.
