As a consumer of grass-fed beef, I believe that the standard for grass fed must
include reference to being raised on pasture without starchy grain
supplementation. "Grass-fed" should indicate animals that have not been kept in
confinement, fed harvested forage, corn silage or other grains. Antibiotics and
hormones should not be allowed in the grass-fed process.
