Who needs stinkin' rain forests anyways?

If I'm not mistaken, isn't Davy Crockett somehow owned or operated by the Lambert Camp?

That's right......that's right............they would have to be the ones who OWN it seeing as how they've never actually struck an honest lick at physical work.

Beef Jerky consumed in large quantities causes the trots in a lot of folks. MSG is great for High Blood Pressure folks, such as myself, to spend hours in dark rooms with a bottle of aspirin. Does Crotchet Creek have a Vegetarian version of their Jerky?

"Well, if you import beef from Argenitina then it needs to be preserved."

No, "...if you import beef from Argentina then..." you should be run from Blount County on a rail.

To think that the farmers have it as rough as they do in this county and a locally owned jerky business would import beef from Argentina really makes my blood boil.

Maybe it's time for a Davy Crockett protest and boycott.

To name your company after what was obviously a great man and hero to many in this region is another thing that really burns me up.

I guarantee you that importing beef from Argentina is not something that is in the spirit of Davy Crockett or being American and self-sufficient.

I've got a feeling that this isn't the only blog that the "Argentinian Beef" story will be posted upon.

"The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency."
-Quentin Crisp

"Our forbears worked hard this difficult land, and their reward was the freedom and independence of self-sufficiency."
-James H. Douglas

Too bad that Davy Crockett Beef Jerky doesn't believe in the American ideal of self-sufficiency anymore. I wouldn't expect any less from a company that is part of the Lambert Camp.

DOWN WITH DAVY CROCKETT BEEF JERKY!

But I've always heard good things about Argentinian beef. Free range, grass-fed. That's hard to get here, or at least prohibitively expensive (check out West Wind Farms' Bearden deliveries). (link...)

It is sad that we can't have a company that specializes in a local product, organically grown and chemical-free production.

Back when Crockett Creek first began the store that we (my family) used to own sold beef to Crockett Creek. The cuts that were used at that time, mostly top round, it would not be advantageous for cattle growers to have worked a deal with them for the limited cuts that were used as it was a small percentage of the overall cow. Their business soon grew to the point where they bought straight from the suppliers that we did as a store servicing a full service meat department.

Demand for products and services changes more than just the profit line for the business it has an effect up the chain and down the chain as well.
