“Walk a Mile in Their Cowboy Boots”
On November 19, 2011 Joe & Robin were host to a group of food
service representatives affiliated with Southern Foods and Pate Dawson
Company. Pate Dawson Company, a 125 year old family owned food
service distributor, recently acquired Southern Foods, forming a new
company, Meat & Seafood Solutions, LLC.
Meat & Seafood Solutions d/b/a Southern Foods and Pate Dawson
Company offer the highest quality products, outstanding service to
restaurants, county clubs, resorts, hotels and caterers throughout the
southeast and both are licensed providers of the Certified Angus Beef
brand.
Committed to bringing “Clean and Green” products that show respect
to our environment, they have brought in a new line-Vegware-that makes
earth friendly packaging materials including utensils and “to go” containers. As a proud member of “Goodness Grows in North Carolina”, they
continually search for local, sustainable, farmers and growers that share
the visions of “Farm to Fork”.
The group learned about the factors affecting beef palatability, and
why not all beef satisfied customers’ tastes. They also learned keys to
evaluating the value of different grades of beef.
They walked through the pasture with Joe and Robin as they
described the environmental stewardship practices in place in their
operation and share insight into the day-to-day operation of their modern day
family farm. In addition they discussed the management practices in
place to help cattle obtain a high-quality end point and the use of Expected
Progeny Differences (EPDs) to produce cattle that reach the CAB brand
endpoint.
They gained the intimate understanding of the most common
competitors through discussions and comparison of specifications of each
breed. They also learned the differences beyond grass versus grain fed.
Everyone came away with a greater appreciation for the hard work
and dedication that Angus ranchers have for their animals and land and
what is involved in raising cattle for the Certified Angus Brand® brand. |
