Dear John,
We have experienced the true meaning of April
monsoons this week in the Midwest. as Mother
Nature unloaded copious amounts of rain and
tornadoes in our sector of grazing country.
With the
hopes of better weather, outdoor grilling,
and garden fresh fruits and vegetables around
the corner, rainy April days are a good time
for grilling season prep.
Spring is also a good time to
carefully consider the nutritional needs of
your family
and your pets. In addition to wholesome,
nutrient-rich foods
for your family, US
Wellness Meats also offers the same premium
quality pet
food with a ground beef product and
complimentary organ meats that puts your pet
on a real meat diet.
The newest product line at US Wellness Meats
is fresh chilled beef.
Fresh
chilled beef orders are due Thursday,
April 17 at noon CST and will ship Wednesday,
April 23. Feed back from the first two
rounds of shipping has been very good. We
were surprised with several great flavor
comments from
long time customers. Please check out our great
tasting fresh grass-fed choices here.
SwissLand organic cheddar has been replaced
with a new raw
organic cheddar from our organic
butter
maker. The flavor is rich and off the
chart as judged by the U.S. Wellness staff
two weeks ago. We think you will agree.
With the 2007/2008 school year winding down,
we suggest parents lobby school
administrators and boards coast to coast to
make informed protein decisions for the
2008/2009 year and beyond. One school
district in Colorado Springs, has made the
decision that buying surplus beef from USDA
is not in the best interest of our next
generation of decision makers.
Congratulations to the decision makers in
Colorado Springs for buying direct from a
natural Colorado beef company.
Warmest regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, Lacey and McKenzie on
behalf
of the
farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

Dear Dr. Serrano,
Could you explain the difference between
grass-fed hormone free milk and hormone free
milk?
Thank you.
Pat F.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear Pat,
Hormone free milk . . . wow, tricky, tricky.
The industry is always trying to make some
money the easy way, this one doesn't mean it
is organic, is just means that the cows they
used are in a building eating grain and
chemicals but are not getting hormones, and I
hate them for that; however, it is marketing.
Grass fed hormone free milk means that the
cows are eating grass and grazing like they
are supposed to be and not in "prison", they
are healthier and have better distribution of
fats and proteins than the above.
IT ALSO MEANS THAT CHEMICALS, TOXINS ARE NOT
FED TO THE ANIMAL, AND BY THE SAME TOKEN YOU
ARE NOT CONSUMING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
Pat I hope this helps, and continue sending
awesome questions
Take care,
Dr.
Serrano

The Science of Shrimp
Why does shrimp
turn from gray to pink when
cooked? The answer lies in astaxanthin, which
is a carotenoid (a carotene-like pigment).
Astaxanthin is responsible for the pink to
reddish color of other fish and crustaceans,
such as salmon and crayfish. In shrimp, the
astaxanthin is bound to a protein, which
masks the pink color while shrimp are raw.
When exposed to heat, a chemical reaction
breaks the bond between protein and pigment,
unmasking the pink color.
The potential health benefits of astaxanthin
are even more impressive than its color
producing ability. Astaxanthin is a powerful
antioxidant, boasting 10 times the
antioxidant power of most carotenoids. Unlike
other carotenoids, it does not convert into
Vitamin A (retinol) in the human body;
excessive Vitamin A is toxic to humans.
In the human body, astaxanthin's antioxidant
power may help prevent cardiovascular,
immune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative
diseases. Because it is able to cross the
blood-brain barrier, it may also help to
prevent oxidative stress and diseases of the
eye, brain, and central nervous system.
Rock Salt Shrimp
Ingredients:
4 pounds rock salt
1 pound large
shrimp (21 to 25 per pound),
with heads on
Directions:
Divide salt evenly among two (9 x 13-inch)
metal pans. Heat oven to 400 degrees F and
place the pans of salt into the oven. When
the oven reaches 400 degrees, allow the
salt to continue heating for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes have passed, remove pans
from oven. Place the shrimp on top of the
salt in one pan. Cover shrimp with all of the
salt in the second pan. The shrimp should be
evenly and completely covered. Return to oven
and roast for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and
check shrimp for doneness. The shrimp should
be opaque. If not done, return to oven for 1
to 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
