BREEZY HILL FARM WEEKLY UPDATE
- Thanks to all who picked up their ground beef this past Saturday. It went very smoothly. As usual, I am starting a new list, and when it gets to the number necessary for a whole beef, we'll do it again. Should have some great ground beef this next summer.
- Want to know why fiber is important in helping to control overweight issues? Read Fat Chance by Dr. Robt.Lustig. You may be surprised.
- I have two yogurt makers, $24 each. Two people got their yogurt makers and some kefir grains this past week.
- We had to bring our red (composting)worms in from our sun porch. It has been unusually cold this winter. We just were hit with another polar vortex. Wind is unreal here on the hill. I bet even in town with all the houses for protection the wind is strong.

BREEZY HILL FARM WEEKLY UPDATE
- Ground beef pick up this coming Saturday 12-1 pm. I sent an email to everyone that was on my list. All responded except for one. It looks like we will have some extra, so if you want extra, or if you are new to our site and did not know about the availability of ground beef, send me an email ASAP so I can possibly get you some of the extra. I will know the exact amount available by Wednesday and I will send the appropriate emails that evening.
- We are not taking any new milk customers at this time. With the cold weather the production is down. Existing customers already have been experiencing reduced amounts.
- We have a couple of yogurt makers for sale. Even if you can't get our excellent raw milk, you can turn store milk into something very beneficial for your family's health.
- Cured my bacons this past week and smoked them today. They sure look good.
- Seed catalogs have been coming and Debra has started planting seeds. Onions first.
- I am going to try a new way to handle beef sales this year. In the past, I have required a deposit to reserve your beef. Scheduling the harvesting of grass finished beef is just too unpredictable. This results in your money being tied up, sometimes too long. The down side was that it put pressure on me to get animals to the processor. I want to make sure that when I take an animal to the processor, it is at its peak, finish wise, and not early just to meet the demands of a long waiting customer. So, this year if you want freezer beef, quarter, half or whole you will send me your request and I will create a list. When I see that I have an animal that is nearing the harvest point I will send emails to whomever is at the top of the list. I will give those persons exactly one week to respond with their deposit. This means you will have to watch for that email and react in a timely manner.

When it comes to food safety, China has a bad track record. From dangerous levels of mercury in baby formula, to dogs and cats dying of tainted pet food, you've probably heard news stories about the problems with China's food safety standards. Then why is the U.S. Department of Agriculture considering allowing poultry processed in China to be sold in the United States?
Here's what Big Agriculture wants permission to do: raise and slaughter chickens here in the U.S., Chile, or Canada, then ship the meat overseas to China for cooking and processing, then ship it back to the United States and put it on your supermarket shelves. That's right — with China's lower food production standards, it's cheaper for them to ship your chicken overseas twice than to meet safety standards here in the United States. You can rest assured that they're doing this to help their profits, not to give you better food. Sign the petition and tell your elected officials to keep chicken safe!

- Our last order from Green Pasture.org came last week and based on the volume we had the following prices, Coconut Oil and Coconut Ghee(gal) $49, Cod Liver Oil with Butter Oil (120 gel caps) $30, (includes the shipping). There is a new product called Blue Ice Infused Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. Our granddaughter loves the banana carob flavor. If you are interested, email me and I will start another list.
- Just finished two very good books. Fat Chance by Lustig and The Real Truth About Sugar, Quinn. The later was a download. My first time to download a book and it is an easy way to read a book. Saved the shipping cost and my book shelves are full.
- Dirt hogs were processed this past week. I got a half and my bacons are curing on the porch. It takes a week and then a day of smoking.
- Recently made a batch of pon haus(made from meat from hog's head). Boy is it good for breakfast with eggs. Debra knows exactly how to fry it. What a waste of great food. USDA or State Inspectors won't let the processor keep the hogs head. It must be part of the offal.
- For those of you that live in the city and stay on the interstates you have no idea what is happening to the rural landscape. I wrote some time back about the removal of fences which signifies the loss of animals (remember Allan Savory's video? and the fertility of the soil. I guess it doesn't matter as the soil is pretty much sterile (herbicides and pesticides). Well, now the "farmers" , production specialists, are bulldozing the hedgerows and everything else that is in their way to add two more acres and get rid of those nasty trees that are sucking up that precious water for another ten bushels of corn. And have you noticed all the terracing of the uplands? Might as well plant a few acres on that hill ground. With crop insurance the risk is mimimized. Remember, one of the objectives of the terracing and tiling is to get rid of that water and get it off the land so that they get another ten bushels for high fructose corn syrup and ethanol. And lest we forget you and I are helping this to happen, especially this time of the year for those paying federal income taxes. There are government cost sharing programs and the commodity producer is deducting his share (of his "conservation practice") from his tax liability. I didn't mention the quail have been decimated years ago through starvation. Corn and soybeans are too big for quail. Now with the hedgerows disappearing, they do not have any place for cover.

- It's the end of the month so I will be sending out notices for those that have requested beef, but have not sent a deposit. Remember, you have to sent the deposit to reserve your beef.
- It looks like the middle of January for the next ground beef.
- I'm reading two good books, Bet the Farm, by Kaufman and Fat Chance, by Lustig. If you want to learn about sugar, processed food and obesity, read Lustig's book. We had a link recently in an Update to one of his presentations.

Sorry McDonald's lovers yucky news!!
.
Hamburger chef Jamie Oliver has just won a battle against one of the largest fast food chains in the world. After Oliver showed how McDonald’s hamburgers are made, the franchise announced it will change its recipe.
According to Oliver, the fatty parts of beef are “washed” in ammonium hydroxide and used in the filling of the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, the food is deemed unfit for human consumption.
According to the chef and presenter, Jamie Oliver, who has undertaken a war against the fast food industry: “Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings.”
Besides the low quality of the meat, the ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health. Oliver calls it “the pink slime process.”
“Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?” asked the chef, who wages a war against the fast food industry.
In one of his initiatives, Oliver demonstrates to children how nuggets are made. After selecting the best parts of the chicken, the remains (fat, skin and internal organs) are processed for these fried foods.
The company, Arcos Dorados, the franchise manager in Latin America, said such a procedure is not practiced in the region. The same applies to the product in Ireland and the UK, where they use meat from local suppliers.
In the United States, Burger King and Taco Bell had already abandoned the use of ammonia in their products. The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent in meats, which has allowed McDonald’s to use otherwise “inedible meat.”
Even more disturbing is that because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the “component in a production procedure” by the USDA, consumers may not know when the chemical is in their food. On the official website of McDonald’s, the company claims that their meat is cheap because, while serving many people every day, they are able to buy from their suppliers at a lower price, and offer the best quality products.
In addition, the franchise denied that the decision to change the recipe is related to Jamie Oliver’s campaign. On the site, McDonald’s has admitted that they have abandoned the beef filler from its burger patties

Beware: Many Prescription Drugs Deplete Your Magnesium Stores
According to Dr. Dean, two major lifestyle factors that deplete your body of magnesium are stress and prescription drugs. Unfortunately, the conventional medical approach for the former oftentimes leads to the latter, making your situation progressively worse. Dr. Dean explains:
“The scenario that I like to talk about is very basic. You will recognize it immediately in either yourself or your family members. You go to your doctor. You’re under massive stress. Massive stress means you’re losing magnesium. You’re burning magnesium out of your body, because it helps support your adrenal glands. It helps keep you away from anxiety and depression. It helps relax your muscles.
If you’re all tight and stressed, your magnesium is being lost, [which makes] the muscles of your blood vessels tighten. That tightness is going to cause increased blood pressure. Your doctor... will say, ‘Oh, your blood pressure is elevated. We’ll give you a diuretic.’
A diuretic will drop the fluid level in your body to take the pressure off your blood vessels, so your blood pressure will drop. But diuretics also drain off your magnesium... A month later you come back, and the doctor finds your blood pressure’s even more elevated. Yes—because you’ve just lost more magnesium! Your doctor then puts you on a calcium channel blocker. Now, they have that part right. They know that without magnesium, your calcium is going to become elevated and will tighten up your blood vessels, so they try to block calcium. But they don’t know that magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker.
Your doctor may also put you on an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, another blood pressure drug... So, you go away with three drugs now. After two or three months, you come back and have blood taken to make sure that drugs aren’t hurting your liver... All of a sudden, your cholesterol is elevated. All of a sudden, your blood sugar is elevated. What does the doctor say? ‘Oh, we caught your cholesterol. We just caught your blood sugar. We can put you on medications.’ But they didn’t catch them; they caused them.”

- I recently replaced the air hose on my milker. I noticed a difference when I installed it, but figured new is better. Well, with the cold weather I found out differently. The new one was a little thicker and somewhat stiffer. I had trouble sliding it on the medal tubes. With the cold weather it became even stiffer and it slipped off a couple of times. I thought it was making a good contact. There was just enough leakage that there was not sufficient vacuum and the cups would not stay on. I replaced with the old more flexible hose and the problem was solved.

You should ramp up your immune systems for the winter months. You are not getting as much sunshine now so your Vit D is low and I'm sure we will have some pan or epidemic soon.

- Kris had her calf last Tuesday and Princess had her calf this Monday. Both were bull calves. So, I have two boys and two girls. With Princess we will now have ample milk if it doesn't get crazy cold. Kris is my main nurse cow and will be raising three calves. She will have her own and will supplement the other two.
- Still need rain as ponds are still low. Hopefully, we can make it until next Spring when we normally get more frequent rains. Snow won't add much, usually not much run off.
- I got my turkey from Virginia this afternoon. We will be using a different method this year for roasting. We tried it this past Sunday on a chicken and it worked wonderfully. We got the procedure from the latest magazine, Tastebuds. The article is by the owner of Little Pig. Basically, remove the thighs and legs and cook them sparately. Cook the breast later and to only 150. This solves the problem of getting the dark meat done and not cooking the breast meat to the point of being overcooked (dry). The chicken Debra did was perfect.

New USDA Rule Designed to Help Meatpackers Break Domestic Cattle Market
Washington, D.C. -
Today the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced its plans to radically relaxU.S.import restrictions for countries where bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease) continues to persist.
"Despite the fact that BSE persists in the European Union (EU), which reported four new BSE cases in 2013, the new USDA rule opens the door to allowU.S.meatpackers to begin supplementing tightU.S.beef supplies with beef of questionable safety from Europe," saidR-CALFUSACEO Bill Bullard.
Bullard continued: "USDA cannot explain why BSE persists in Europe despite the fact that all scientific measures that are believed to be effective at breaking the BSE cycle have been rigorously enforced inEuropefor nearly two decades.
"If you believe what USDA is telling the public - that BSE is no longer a concern in European livestock because all steps necessary to control BSE are already in place, then it is impossible forEuropeto be continually detecting new BSE cases. But this is exactly whatEuropecontinues to do as it has detected 83 new cases of BSE just since 2010.
"This irresponsible action by USDA underscores the need for country of origin labeling (COOL), which is presently under attack by meatpackers and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) in the federal court system, by members of Congress in the 2013 Farm Bill, and by foreign countries at the World Trade Organization (WTO)."
According to Bullard, COOL would provide consumers the opportunity to better safeguard their families by enabling them to avoid meat products from countries that have not controlled BSE and that cannot explain why they continue to detect the pernicious disease in their livestock.
Bullard said the new BSE rule represents the abrogation of USDA's responsibility to protect U.S. consumers and the U.S. cattle herd from the introduction of foreign animal disease and it exemplifies how USDA is acquiescing to the unelected and un-appointed officials at the WTO who have no loyalties whatsoever to U.S. livestock producers or to U.S. consumers.
"USDA is working closely with the multinational meatpackers to open new import platforms so they can break theU.S.cattle market that has only recently reached profitable levels after being severely depressed for more than a decade. Cargill's recent announcement that it has partnered with an Australian exporter to import grain-fed and grass-fed beef in theU.S.will now be followed by announcements to further increase price-depressing imports fromEurope, thanks to USDA," Bullard concluded.

- Have you noticed, they have brought out the scare tactic of $8 per gallon for milk if congress doesn't pass the "farm" bill? If that is the true cost without the government subsidy for the manufactured gallon, then my price for a gallon on milk (with a pint of cream) is below production cost. If anyone thinks congress will pass a new farm bill, they have more confidence in that bunch than I have. Remember, the bill is for 5 years. They can't agree on anything for a week. After seeing the results for the GMO labeling in the senate, it reinforces my contention, they are bought and paid for and not by their salaries. Seventy-one voted against despite polls showing 90 percent of the country would like to see their food labeled accordingly.
