In a nutshell, this old method meant growing the animal on pasture, feeding them grain in confinement for the final four months, and then selling them off to a big animal processor when it was time for them to be harvested. But with a little experimentation, he discovered the old method might not be the <em>only<\/em> method. In 1997, 1998 and 1999, John raised animals on a 100% forage diet and had the proof he needed: there was another way to get tender and exquisite-tasting beef, lamb, bison, goat and dairy products<\/p>\n<p><em>US Wellness Meats <\/em>is awarding the winner of the recipe contest with what else but grass-fed steak!  The winner will receive <strong>a grass-fed london broil steak valued at $23.29, plus shipping <\/strong>. <!-- BEGIN ADVERTPRO CODE BLOCK --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ndocument.write('<scr'+'ipt src=\"http:\/\/realfoodmedia.advertserve.com\/servlet\/view\/text\/javascript\/zone?zid=390&amp;pid=5&amp;random='+Math.floor(89999999*Math.random()+10000000)+'&amp;millis='+new Date().getTime()+'&amp;referrer='+escape(document.location)+'\" language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/scr'+'ipt>');\n\/\/ ]]&gt;<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><!-- END ADVERTPRO CODE BLOCK --><!--end_raw--><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Spread the Word:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t forget to spread the word by blogging this contest, tweeting it and adding it to facebook!<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n<li>Want to participate?
