Let’s get to it.
In this week’s episode of Beef Maps X Spaces, RS “Ruffshot” June and Ranch Mama Shannon take us deep into the hidden costs of imported beef, the USDA’s chokehold on small producers, and the monopoly that’s rigging the price of your steak. From the true meaning of “grass-fed” to why American beef is rejected abroad, this is a raw look at the real barriers keeping ranchers out—and cheap, chemical-soaked meat in.
Hear how Golden Ratio, Beck Ranch, and other family farms are fighting back—not with lobbyists, but with BeefMaps.com. It’s not just about beef—it’s about shaking your ranchers hand, and bypassing every corporate tollbooth along the way.
Key Topics
- Why 85% of beef on US shelves isn’t truly American
- What other countries know about US beef that we ignore
- The truth behind “grass-fed” and “organic” labels
- How ranchers like Jesse at Golden Ratio are selling direct
- Why BeefMaps.com is disrupting the cattle cartel
Quote
“Next time you see someone claiming decentralization, ask them if you can skip them and go straight to the rancher. Watch what they say.” — RS “Ruffshot” June
