I live in Iowa, the deer eat a lot of field corn, when they can get it. I’ve had deer meat that was so good, had I not known for a fact, that it was deer meat I’d have never believed it in a million years. That’s not the way to bet though, I’ve also had Elk, Deer, and Antelope out West that was tough as an old boot and tasted gamey, they can’t even grow good sagebrush in some of those places. There’s some tricks, like soaking it in buttermilk and all that. If the meat is taken care of properly it’s not bad, a welcome addition to the table. Deer and Elk though, is ordinarily very lean. Lewis & Clark had a roughtime of it on their expedition, they said at one point after their stores ran out (of everything) each member of the party was eating about 10 pounds a day of lean Elk and they were still hungry.
One of the problems of agricultural states with low populations is the cities dominate the electoral politics and eventually a bunch of asshats prevail. There is strong support for the beef and pork industry now, corn and soybeans, but this won’t last. Maybe we can import our food too, from China.
The individual states at one time had a similar system to the Electoral College, in that individual counties with low populations counter balanced the larger urban centers. The Supreme Court decided that was a no-go. The Bahstids.
Sorry I call BS on this article.
It is long on politics and short on facts.
What agreement did PETA get the Cattle Association agreed to?
What laws or even regulations has the Trump presidency agreed to?
This article leavers all this blank.
My family has been raising cattle for a long time and our cattle are still being sent to the feedlots and we collect our payments without PETA’s nor the Cattlemen’s signed approval.
This is fake news, IMHO.
Ever chewed bubble gum? Same texture.
I hunt. I use every venison recipe there is. My friend raises grass fed beef, so....um...no. I'll take a NY strip any day.
Well, first of all, since they have gone environ-MENTAL, you can take the syllable “men” out of the name. Just call it the National Cattlepersons’ Beef Association or the National Cattlehipsters’ Beef Assciation. Something like that.
The enviro-nazis are infesting lots of organizations. You might want to check out the ‘Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef’. Here’s the board of directors:

I can’t imagine why the cattlemen’s associations would get on board with these types, but folks are getting ‘nudged’ into all kinds of silly actions these days.
Hi Mountain makes a "Wild Goose Seasoning" and it is good stuff.
I've also been making jerky sticks (Hi Mountain seasoning again) from some of my older ground deer. That's real good too.
Nice option for lesser used cuts of game animals
Watch it though if you try making some.
Friends get real attached real quick to the stuff.
Yeah but how do you fix it?
The Cattlemen can’t be for this. So they need to either abandon the organization and start a new one. Or find a way to throw off the WWF hold on the organization.
I can’t resist it! It’s like crack in a pot!
I’ll send you my recipe via FR mail if you want it. Would try yours, too.
I buy meat when it’s on sale, and I stock up. (Not at Wal-Mart. It’s never on sale, and it’s full of water). I never buy ground beef anywhere but at a reputable locally sourced meat market. I trust their cleanliness and scruples. If ground chuck were on sale in the grocery store, I’d buy it, but only ground beef is ever on sale, and I don’t trust them to leave out the lips, nose, and ears. I only buy kosher not dogs for the same reason.
There’s a youtuber in Cambodia, who cooks every part of every animal. Almost puked when she prepared “cow nose”.

Not all the rest of the country is as lucky.
Huh. A 6 oz can of Alaskan Red Salmon costs $6.79 in the Safeway where I shop. I remember catching salmon and calling them “Alaskan Hamburger.” Sigh... GOOD times.
Much like they are buying up the ammunition industry, we are at war and it will not end well for them because it takes quite a bit to get us up and going but when we do there is no where to hide and no stopping us
2lb 12oz Adolphs meat tenderizer, $15 at Amazon.
It’s Salt and a pineapple extract, bromelain.
You can use pineapple juice for some recipes.
Marinate, depending on thickness, couple hours or more.
All my game meat gets the treatment.
Oh where was I, yes backstrap sous vide, it melted in my mouth, simply melted with a texture unlike anything I ever grilled. So there.
“I’m not sure that facts are all that important to the author of this piece.”
Yes. I looked at the Cattlemen’s site:
And the Global site:
And while the WWF has a guy as treasurer of the Global organization and the Cattlemen are a member of it, I don’t see anything on either site that intimates WWF control of Cattlemen.
For more information on the Cattlemen position on just about everything, look through their policy statement, all 138 pages of it.
The person who wrote this article is a troll, a Russian troll probably.
Chili. Beef chili it’s all the meat I need. Venison no way, never ate a deer that liked me. Longhorn steaks has great chili, I never tried the steak there.

RedMonquey you would be well advised to bone up on what “Sustainable Development” really is.
