1. Missouri Beef: How to Get and Stay Healthy
There's a lot of misinformation out there about farming in
general and beef in particular. We keep our Missouri beef
healthy and they can help you, too.
All beef isn't the same. The quality of the beef changes not
just from country to country, but from farm to farm and
year to year. No two animals are identical and can't be
raised that way. Each requires care to ensure they stay the
healthiest they possibly can, being well-fed and watered
even when Mother Nature decides a drought is due.
So this notion of a "factory farm" can't be further from the
truth. I'm sure you've heard the horror stories or seen the
videos. Truth is, there are bad apples in every barrel. And
just because there is a handful of crooked accountants or
shifty CEO's of corporations doesn't mean that all of them
are that way. (The jury is still out on lawyers, politicians,
and used car salespeople...) But animals are live things and
cannot be run on any assembly line, any more than a mill
can churn out puppies. They have to be individually cared
for.
Beef is as healthy as you know where it came from, what went in it, and how it
was processed. The meat you get from supermarkets is packaged to look as good as
possible, right down to the colors of the packaging and what color lights they use. Doesn't
mean it is going to make you fat or lean or somewhere in between.
And all we can really testify to is how our own cattle are treated, what they are fed, and what
condition they were in as we sent them to be processed.
And if your mind is made up, we aren't going to try to change it. But if you find something on
our website interesting, that you didn't know before, please share it with your family and
friends.

2. About Worstell Farms
Our family goes back on both sides with
farmers. As far as we can trace.
And that tradition came to Mexico,
Missouri around 1960 to purchase the
current farming operation.
Jim and Laura Worstell established a
working farm there and then, and raised a
big family of 8 kids, along with several
dogs, cats, and an occasional pet squirrel
or raccoon. And don't forget the llama's
and peacocks...
In 2000, Robert Worstell returned to the
farm to take over operations management
(as well as the day-to-day chores) and
shares these duties with his mother and sister (well, not the chores, so much.)
On approximately 250 acres of land, which is mixed hillsides, bottom, and woods, we raise a
combination of annual row-crops and also our beef. Typical of this area, we have marginal
land which is better suited to cattle than cultivation (which is typical of most cattle-farming).
We've found that where we run our cattle actually improves the soil and its health - as long as
we pay attention and actually manage how long and when they graze where. As we continue to
study and learn about and from our cattle, our daily lessons help us to improve the quality and
quantity of beef we raise.We practice managed grazing and are transitioning over to ultra-
high-density stocking, as this is even better for the land and actually requires more cattle per
acre to keep up with the lush growth and pasture renovation.
All our beef is from local stock. Mostly black Angus cross-bred cows, with our current Belted
Galloway bull named "Gene Autry" is servicing these well.
Ordering Our Beef
We only take local orders, so contact us via the website or call directly. Due to Federal laws,
we cannot sell our beef out of Missouri – you'll have to buy it here. Generally, our beef is
spoken for well before it's ready for processing. However, contact us for what we have coming
up and we can give you an estimate on when the next one is coming available.
We are also offering La Cense beef, which is USDA inspected and can be shipped anywhere
in the US. Please see http://worstellfarms.com for details.

About the Author:
Dr. Robert Worstell retired from a corporate career in graphic design to the much calmer and
healthier American Midwest, to inherit running the family farm. His constant work and
research has been to improve the sustainability of this Missouri “beef ranch”. The results show
that grass fed beef, locally and directly marketed is the route to profitability, not following
commodity trends.
Dr. Worstell's training in web design has helped him move the operation more online, as well
as giving him new networking opportunities to promote Worstell Farms beef products. He is
also a prolific author and has recently completed research into the all-time best self help
books, with his “Freedom Is – (period).” Out of the 7 books published this year, he's also
produced a fiction work, “The Dreamer Dreamed” - itself a breakthrough use of fiction to
explore the metaphysical aspect of dream meaning. All of these are available at
