Fueling up on Protein
August 23rd, 2010
Dane Rauschenberg is an extreme runner, author and motivational speaker who has become an outstanding spokesperson for the beef industry. Dane is a well-recognized and celebrated celebrity in the health and fitness world who gladly promotes the power of protein. The Team ZIP member ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks, and most recently, a 202-mile solo run in under 50 hours.
“I love beef,” exclaimed Rauschenberg when interviewed after his solo run. “When I was running my 202-mile solo run, I was sending out live tweets. At mile 118, I tweeted, ‘I want a steak.’ I’m definitely a big fan of eating protein through beef, both before and after a race. I try to educate people that beef has a place in a well-balanced diet. This is something that works for me. You always hear about eating a lot of carbohydrates before a race, but for me, it’s protein. Beef isn’t the fatty thing it’s accused of being.”
Without a doubt, Rauschenberg is a strong advocate for the beef cattle industry. As an ultra-marathoner, author and speaker, Dane is well-equipped to share his expertise with health-conscious people. And, if his message is that he enjoys a steak before and after every road race, well, cattle producers can certainly appreciate his efforts to boost beef demand.
Keep running and enjoying beef Dane!

FDA urges limited antibiotics in meat
July 13th, 2010
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a warning about the use of antibiotics in livestock and urged meat producers to cut back on them because they pose a serious threat to public health. The issue is not that the meat itself is harmful to health or that consumers are ingesting antibiotics with their protein, but that the overuse of antibiotics is diminishing the efficacy of crucial medications needed for human use.
According to the Los Angeles Times, for years, evidence has been mounting that extensive use of antibiotics in livestock, particularly to promote growth or prevent the spread of disease in crowded pens, has resulted in the development of drug-resistant bacteria. The FDA wants meat producers to consult more closely with veterinarians to determine when it is prudent to use antibiotics and which ones to use.
Keystone Processors recognizes and agrees with this concern of using antibiotics on livestock, which is why our Natural Prairie Beef brand is hormone-free and antibiotics are only used when necessary. Keystone Processors is focused on raising the best quality cattle with the benefit of top notch farming practices. Our number one concern is to deliver top quality steaks, tenderloins, roasts, ground beef, burgers and wieners to you and your family.
Let us know what you think of this issued warning. Do you think it will be effective?
Receive 15% off lean ground beef!
July 13th, 2010
Did you know that eating protein-rich foods such as lean ground beef helps curb your hunger and appetite? A number of studies have found protein can help you feel full between meals, more than either carbohydrates or fat.
That’s why adding lean protein to meals and snacks, or bumping up the amount of protein you eat, may help with appetite control and weight loss. This can help you resist those urges to reach for unhealthy snacks between meals.
Keystone Processors wants to help you kick start your healthy diet. Starting Monday, July 12 and lasting until Sunday, July 24, we’re having a special 15% off sale on lean ground beef. This sale applies to online orders only and limited to one order per customer.
Just visit our online store and you can pick up your order on-site at 663 Marion St. or at our two new pick-up locations at the Carver’s Knife (1530 Regent Ave W, or 39 Marion St. in the Dominion Shopping Centre).
