in order to have a positive effect on my beef and the overall nutrient density of it and the flavor of it, the eating experience, I can influence that by my practices and what I'm planting out there for my cow to eat.

So now what I'm eating

what what my cow is eating is important because i'm going to be eating that in the future and i can i have the power to influence what i'm going to be eating in the future and that's kind of fun and cool so like with that farmer that you were just talking about how he was planting these specific forages in his pasture the daikon radishes and how that influenced the beef like that's that's some of the most fun parts of of farming is being able to influence your end product that protein

Oh, absolutely.

The pulp, 100%.

The juice pulp that I feed my animals from Alchemy Juice, not only does it have a direct impact on the flavor profile and the overall health of my animals, my diet,

My animal's immune systems are incredibly robust because of it.

The citrus pulp in particular, when my mama sheep and my mama cows are eating that, they're lactating like crazy.

They've got higher buttermilk and protein content in their milk for their lambs and their calves, and their lambs and calves grow faster.

incredibly incredibly well and on top of all of that the beef the lamb the pork that i harvest after eating that pulp i've had i sent my beef samples off to a lab to get tested and the nutrient density that came back on it it'd blow your mind i saw you posted about that i found that wild

like the amino acid contents are like 2,300% higher than USDA grass-fed.

We've got vitamin C in our beef, which is, there's no vitamin C in beef whatsoever, but that's just a direct reflection of them eating all the citrus pulp, very high in potassium, vitamin A, magnesium, calcium, all the good stuff.

Well, I was raising hogs at the time.

Well, I still raise hogs, but at the time I was raising hogs.

When you raise pigs, you kind of start to view waste a little bit differently.

So I'd be shopping at Whole Foods or H-E-B and they'd be wheeling the carts around the produce section and just like throwing away all the old produce and bakery goods and whatnot.

I'm like, man, that'd be really good hog feed.

And they'd wheel it around to the back of the dumpsters.

And so when I was finished with my grocery shop and I'd go back to the dumpsters and I'd

grab all the old blueberries and lettuce and all that old produce and baked goods.
