Abstract
Once upon a time not all that long ago, all beef in North America was 100% grassfed. Cattle roamed freely over vast expanses of the Great Plains, much like the buffalo had grazed for hundreds of years. Spring roundups gathered and co-mingled herds of market-ready cattle that were grazed north to terminal markets and packing houses. This business model thrived through the post-Civil War years. By the late 1800’s, advancement of the railroad network brought an end to this romantic period of the US cattle industry.
