Carol,

We just moved to Pueblo West and would like to buy a half as well, who is your farmer?

Thanks!

Also, if you go to get milk at Brunton, bring cash and correct change. You pay on the honor system into a lock box, so no change.

Hi – stumbled here. Brunton’s dairy does in fact sell half gallons for $1.50, at least as of last weekend.

This reaction to this recall was interesting to me because it seems that most people don’t really want to know what goes into thier meat or how it got to thier table.

There are lots of interesting books and blogs that discuss the economics and drawbacks of the industrial food chain – once I started doing the research I was more than willing to pay a few cents more for grass fed beef and organic food.

My problem is that its hard to buy local in my area – so my solution has been to cut back the amount of meat we eat and get it locally or organically whenever I can.

I am sure this PETA members are just dancing around their campfire after this recall, You know they had to be behind it… I think my favorite quote is Maddox Xmission: “For every animal you don’t eat, I’ll eat three!”

It certainly is an over-reaction. Dumping the alleged tainted meat in the bin is more of a threat to the environment than eating it. How many people do you suppose are composting or sending it to a rendering plant?

I won’t stop eating beef because of the recalls. I have cut back dramatically lately though, because of the price. At least where I live, chicken is a whole lot cheaper than beef, so it ends up on my dinner table much more often.

Added bonus: it’s healthier. Still have that pesky salmonella to worry about though.

I bought a half of long horn grass fed beef locally. I live in Pueblo, Colorado. I paid $2.37 a pound for real lean great beef. I also got lots and lots of big dog bones. I am thinking about buying a pig from the same processor. I am tired of recalls of beef and this time I do not have to worry.

I have the best option of all, I get my meat for free. My dh hunts, and brings home enough free-range, grass-fed red meat to last a year. No hormone, antibiotic-injected beef for us.

Ugh, I’m about to cross off beef on my menu with all these recalls. We have lots of free range chicken farms around here so, I’m going to check on that. I’m just afraid it might be way over my budget.

We have slowly gone away from eating beef. We buy more whole chickens at .79 cents a pound, so 1 chicken might cost $3 for a meal for 3 adults with leftovers for chicken noodle soup. We are surrounded by farms so beef is plentiful and is usually angus beef. Since we need to cut down on out meat consumsion anyway (doctor’s orders) we just quit buying beef. We now eat more vegetables and fruit (which is a lot cheaper than meat) nowdays.
