Marye, Audet. “Planet Green.” Heritage Breed Cows: Hardy, Multi-Purpose Breeds for the Homestead
In this article, Marye explains the 7 different heritage breed cows. She talks about the Canadienne cow, Florida Cracker cow, Milking Shorthorn cow, Milking Devon cow, Randall Lineback cow, Red Polled, and the Ayrshire cow. She mentions thoroughly that these cows are grass fed and maintain healthy dairy products and meat. She also states that in the past history cattle farmers of these breeds sustained their nourishment with grass only.
Commentary: The article by Marye, helps identify that these cows are herbivores. The author doesn’t mention anything that has to do with non-grass fed cattle. Everything she says is totally natural for the cows and pure healthy for them and us.
AGA (American Grass-fed Association). “Good Earth Farms Pasture-Raised Meat”, Certified Organic and All Natural Grass Fed Beef
In this source the AGA defines grass-fed products from ruminants, including cattle, bison, goats and sheep, as those food products from animals that have eaten nothing but their mother’s milk and fresh grass or grass-type hay from their birth till harvest. It also states that the meat quality is the best and the experience form it differs from regular meat bought at local meat markets. Dr. Tilak Dhiman of Utah State University states that grass-fed foods could not just prevent health problems but could help people who already have chronic health problems get better. He says that Grass fed meat contains 300 percent more Vitamin E, 75 percent more Omega-3, 78 percent more Beta-carotene, and 400 percent more Vitamin A.
Commentary: In this source it only contains research done by the doctor and shows health benefits. Grass fed beef is highly recommended in this source. It not only talks about cattle but also bison, goats, and sheep in grass fed practice.

    The claim that the farmer is using in this video is that "Fatter , Bigger, and Cheaper" livestock isn't better than grass-fed livestock. The rhetorical appeal they used in this video is Logos due to the everything they talk about that is a system for farmer markets and farms. Some evidence that shows he used logos, is when he talked about the way they grow their livestock is in disagreement with the USDA when they have been successful by paying attention to the ecological problems. The USDA kept using the performance of how sanitary they are even thought they had an average CFU of 130.

    This paper is supportive of the filler product Lean Finely Textured Beef. It is a safe product and is beef. It explains what is it and the process used to make it. It will also explain what ammonium hydroxide is and what it does for our food safety. Everyone should be concerned about what is added to our food supply and the processes that are used in making food products. The labeling of Lean Finely Texture Beef is not required by the USDA because the USDA has stated LFTB is beef. However the beef industry has taken a proactive stand and now labels the ground beef that has LFTB blended in so that the consumer can choose for themselves to buy it or not. The consumer wants to have the confidence that the food supply is safe and know what they are buying. Enough though labeling is not required…

    Cattle (colloquially cows) are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos primigenius. Cattle are raised as livestock for meat (beef and veal), as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products, and as draft animals (oxen or bullocks) (pulling carts, plows and the like). Other products include leather and dung for manure or fuel. In some countries, such as India, cattle are sacred. From as few as 80 progenitors domesticated in southeast Turkey about 10,500 years ago,[2] an estimated 1.3 billion cattle are in the world today.[3] In 2009, cattle became the first livestock animal to have a fully mapped genome.[4]…
