Currently living The Gold Jacket Beef Vision Quest🥇- the pursuit to raise the best BEEF the earth has ever tasted @halloffamebeef

Part 1 of 5 — The Paradox…

Beef is at record prices but ranchers are going broke. How are BOTH true? The answer will make you mad. 🐂

In 1980 the rancher got 60¢ of every beef dollar.

Today? Under 40¢. Same animal. Same work. Flipped.

Nobody tells you these 5 burger secrets, and #3 is why yours turn out dry!!

I raise the cattle myself @halloffamefarms , so I��ve cooked a few of these. Most people mess up the first two before the burger even hits the grill. Fix those, nail the dimple, and that last one, dropping wagyu tallow right on top after the flip, is the move nobody’s doing.

Save this so you’ve got it for the next cookout. And send it to the one person in your family who could have used these tips last weekend! You know exactly who it is!!

Which tip got you? Drop a 🍔 if it was #5!

Candidly...that would be nice!!🤣

Hard to imagine but these "BEEF Series" videos are not about me and my operation - I have the platform and resources to tell my story, use a local processor that has space for me, and build a logistics team to get my Wagyu from farm to table locally and nationally...but most people don't have my platform or resources.

However, after farming for 15 years now, I've built close relationships to a lot of family farmers (and employing a lot of the local farm kids) and it's given me a deep respect and understanding of the issues facing America's family farmers - and I've made it a passion project in retirement to tell their story and advocate on their behalf!

See what the USDA did recently? $500mm for small and mid sized processors to do exactly what you've described...more processors throughout the country allows more competition on price for farmers livestock, allows more people to shop locally raised MEATS, and reduces the energy usage/expense of shipping livestock and meat all over the country!

Part 2 — (The Four Gatekeepers) drops Tuesday - follow so you don't miss it.

[Joe Thomas @joethomas73]

@sdonaldsonjr Great stuff, will do.

Thanks for promoting family farmers in the area and american agriculture!

[Joe Thomas @joethomas73]

@Jono_B_good Assuming you're a big eater and you're eating a half a pound of burger at every meal... For $200, you get 36 meals. I'm not sure you could do that with freezer pizzas - and one of them is going to send you to the doctor, and the other one will keep you from needing the doctor!

[Joe Thomas @joethomas73]

Everybody asked what I'd do after football like they were worried I was going to get bored! LOL

Answer: raise the best beef in America!!

I went on Beef Unscripted with Gale McKinney to talk Wagyu, life after the NFL, and why every animal on my farm gets treated like a pro athlete. 🎙️🐂

@laidlawonmars Can't be as bad as the farts my ten-year-old son blows off on a daily basis🤪

[Joe Thomas @joethomas73]

@Freedomdemon208 Thanks for your business!😉

[Joe Thomas @joethomas73]

@CoachJMcGuire One of my great motivations and passions is telling the story of the American Family Farm and advocating for policies that make the conditions possible for family farmers to pass their land/business to the next generation!

Jared recalls the time @BrettFavre smacked him on the backside so hard that he swears the handprint is still there years later. His official ruling? Assault 🚨🤣

Less talk, more tonnage. Clock in, lock in, and put in the work.

​This isn't about hype. It's about building a brotherhood through the grind. 😤💪

From football field to farming fields… @halloffamefarms

[Hall of Fame Farms by Joe Thomas @halloffamefarms]

While not a superstitious kind of guy, Jared stuck to routine on game days to eliminate outside distractions. Same game day meal, same game day routine because if you prepare the same, the outcome should be similar every time
