Thank you, Meghan. I have been talking to other producers about what designations would make the most sense for us. We are also considering pursuing the 100% Grass Fed designation offered by the USDA. It might be easier and have broader appeal. If…

My suggestion would be to find a producer who has this certification and contact them directly.
