STOP Paying Extra for "Grass Fed" Beef — Here's What Butchers Buy Instead

🔗 Save Money On Meat With My Complete Butcher’s Method I teach: https://frankmillerbutcher.com You're standing at the meat case looking at a package stamped grass fed, priced a few dollars more per pound than the beef right beside it, and you assume somebody checked that claim before it got there. In 2016 the USDA withdrew its official grass fed standard completely, and since then no federal agency has been required to verify that word before it's printed on a package. In this video I walk through how that happened, why grass fed and grass finished are two different claims, and the packaging trick that puts one on the front and the other in small print on the back. I also break down the money. Conventional ground beef runs five to six dollars a pound while the grass fed version beside it commonly runs eight to ten, and my customer Gerald worked out he'd been paying an extra forty or fifty dollars a month for close to two years. Then I give you the five things professional butchers actually prioritize instead, starting with USDA grade, the one standard still verified by an actual government inspector. If you've been paying the premium for that green label and want to know what it really guarantees, this one is for you.
