Dear John,

The farm families and staff of U.S. Wellness Meats wish you a safe and wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

We believe Memorial Day weekend is not only a great time to grill grass-fed beef, but also a sacred time to remember the brave men and women who died while serving our country to create and protect our freedom from the epoch struggles of the Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783) to the current engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan and the litany of blood shed for all those wars in between waged in the name of freedom.

This link lists all of the engagements the U.S. Military has tackled since the Revolutionary War. The length of the list is humbling and will make each of us appreciate the many blessings we take for granted each and every day.

While you're on the web, you can also learn more about the U.S. Wellness Meats story by watching our new video on YouTube. U.S. Wellness Meats founding member John Wood, his son, John, and father, Clark, are proud to share the story of raising cattle on grass - the way they were intended to be raised - as part of their overall goal to improve nutrition, rural communities and the environment.

Due to timing of the Memorial Holiday, U.S. Wellness will lose its fresh beef cutting slot on May 26; consequently, orders in the system will be back ordered to June 4 shipping. We apologize for the out of sync timing this week. Consequently, cut off for June 4 shipping will be noon Thursday, May 29. Join the enthusiastic fresh beef customer base.

Warmest regards,

John, Lee Ann, Megan, Lacey and McKenzie on behalf of the farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

    EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com

    Dr. Serrano,

    For the past 6 months whenever I eat breads, pastas, etc. my fingers get very sore and as soon as I stop eating them the soreness goes away - I have experimented with this several times and the outcome is always the same. I definitely do well on a high protein diet, however, my last blood work showed that within a year, my cholesterol went from 160 to 195 and trig. from 43 to 76.

    However, my main concern is my bun/creatinine level (BUN) is 30 - normal being 11-22. Is this from eating too much protein? Do you have any idea why the carbohydrates cause my fingers to hurt and what do you recommend for the bun/creatinine and cholesterol? - MMB


    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Dear MMB,

    I always tell my patients listen to your body because it knows best, and the doctor knows little. Your body is telling you that you have Celiac disease and if you continue this routine of eating the wheat sources, you are going to develop arthritis. I would immediately stop eating any wheat, start taking fish oils and GLA and CLA, and no beer either.

    I don't know how old you are, so I will say your cholesterol is okay at 195; actually, where it should be. I can't tell you much about your BUN, because I don't know how much you weigh or how much you exercise, and BUN is dependent in muscle mass, exercise, protein intake and water intake. With a BUN of 30 and a normal creatinine, I wouldn't worry, but again, I don't have enough details.

    Dr. Serrano


    THE U.S. WELLNESS MEATS GUIDE TO BRISKET
    hand rubbed brisket

    Fire up your grill, smoker or oven and get ready to wow your friends and family with a delicious brisket recipe from US Wellness Meats. Start with a flavorful rub:

    Beef Brisket Rub

    Ingredients:

    • 4 tablespoons chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 2 tablespoons onion powder

    Directions: Mix all ingredients together. Rub into surface of the brisket immediately before cooking.

    Next, select your favorite cooking method and follow these guidelines for cooking a moist, tender brisket:

    • Regardless of cooking method, always cook the brisket ( 3 pounder or whole brisket) with the fat side up.
    • Cook brisket at a low temperature (200 to 300 degrees) for an extended period of time.
    • Wrap brisket in heavy duty foil to help retain juices.
    • Allow brisket to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes after cooking and before slicing.
    • Cook brisket in the oven at 200 degrees, 2 hours per pound.
    • Smoke brisket at 220 to 240 degrees for 1.5 hours per pound.
    • Grill brisket over indirect heat, 250 to 300 degrees, 1 hour per pound.
    • Brisket is ready for slicing when internal temperature reaches 175 to 190 degrees.
    • Add sauce to brisket (optional) after slicing.
    ENJOY!
