Grass-fed survey for direct-market beef producers

This grass-fed survey from Farm Animal Transparency (FAT) records what direct-market grass-fed beef sellers say about their farm, their grass-fed claim and their prices, in their own words. Nothing is graded. Per-pound prices are shown beside USDA’s National Grass Fed Beef Report from USDA Market News, and survey rows feed FAT’s Grass-Fed Retail Price Tracker. For how FAT reads grass-fed claims, see Grass-Fed vs. Grass-Finished.
