[QUOTE="burroughs85, post: 1729131, member: 42429"] It might be that factory farming has the dairy market cornered these days. Have milk cows have been "Walmartized"? Is milk chiefly a corporate big-box operation? The up-and-coming mom-and-pop may have a better chance to make a decent profit in beef. Specialty dairy and beef operations like Certified Organic seem to be the way to go for some small-scale farms these days. Shopping in supermarkets and seeing "Organic" on food labels really puts bigger numbers on the price tags. Speaking of Walmart, I see a lot of imported from Mexico/Brazil/Australia/New Zealand on ground beef labels there. Premium beef in high-priced meat markets might still be largely American grown. Is beef really grown cheaper on foreign soil? Dairy goats seem to be a thing of mom-and-pops too. $4 to $5 a quart for Meyenberg goat milk in Walmarts. If I were rich, but I'm not, I'd probably buy organic foods only. Chemicals put into my body gross me out. [/QUOTE]
