Some claim that grass-fed beef is always chewy and tastes gamey or livery, and while some probably does, Estancia grass-fed, grass-finished beef certainly doesn't. A chewy texture can come from grass-fed beef that is raised in places where there isn't naturally occurring year-round grass (most of the U.S., for example) or from cattle provided with inconsistent feed. Usually these problems go together since ranchers who don't have access to green pastures year-round will truck in commer- cially-grown grass to feed their animals. As for tasting livery or gamey, that happens for the same reason: cattle that don't have consistent access to high-protein, sweet grass tend to taste this way. If cattle are thrown sour grass, they will yield sour-tasting meat. If they are stressed and afraid prior to processing, that can also impact the flavor of their meat in a negative way. Estancia's cattle have year-round access to consistent and nutrient-rich pasture. The company makes sure its cattle aren't stressed or scared prior to processing by DOES GRASS FED BEEF TASTE GAMEY? The DayMark ® 9700 Food Rotation Terminal can be found in the kitchens of more than 300 Denny's Restaurant fran- chise locations. Rita Meana, Operations Support Manager for DenSuccess Inc., an Apex, N.C.-based franchisee, said her managers and staff at all 44 of its Denny's locations love the 9700. "We save a lot of time using the 9700 to make our labels compared to the time it took us to hand write them," said Meana. "The information on the labels is more accurate and … the labels peel off of inserts and lids more completely, so we no longer have the residue left from old labels." She added, "The health department inspectors really like the labels and the lack of residue." DayMark Safety Systems launched the 9700 Food Rotation Terminal during spring 2013 to the delight of food restaurant chains across the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

An interview with Jack Harris, Regional Sales Manager, Dewey Commercial Pest Services. Dewey Commercial Pest Services has experienced continued growth in what is described as a down market. Dewey has brought extreme value to its client base, and we are offering bundled service packages that have reduced monthly fees up to 25 percent. The added expense of bio-remediation, fly programs and bed bugs have driven service rates out of range for restaurateurs and hotel operators. These addition- al costs constitute the greatest area of savings through Dewey's Pro-Plus service pack- age. Dewey has grown into the third largest provider of pest services on the west coast, all without massive add campaigns, T.V., radio and print ads.
