To whom it may concern:

I am writing in regard to Docket No. LS-05-09.

Allowing the meat from animals that are fed only silage, hay, or other
pre-harvested grass to be sold as "grass fed" does not agree with the common
understanding of the term.  "Grass fed" does not mean "same feedlot, different
menu."  The common-sense understanding of "grass fed" is "pasture raised".

The term "grass fed" should be reserved for animals that are not confinement
fed, receive an overwhelming majority of their nutrition from grazing on live
grass and actually spend their lives on pasture.
