MACGREGOR, MB

After lengthy diatribes about the nutritional value of her meat compared to her grain-fed peers who she says are taking on too much unhealthy fats and calories, the whole barnyard community wishes opinionated Heifer Cupcake would just shut up already about her latest fad diet.

“ We don’t want to break her spirits, but we wish she would tone it down just a bit,” stated barnyard friend and elder-horse Neighkid. Other complaints have come from Cupcakes bovine sisters who say they don’t want to hear any more about the quality or grade of their meat when it’s clear that Cupcake is not yet aware that those things only matter to the local butcher.

Local farmer and owner of Cupcake, Jerry Vosburgh says he jumped on the grass-fed bandwagon when it became clear that his competition had a healthier edge over his livestock. Looking out at a frolicking Cupcake, Vosburgh proudly stated, “This is part of the reason why we made the change! Ole, Cupcake is a happy and healthy Cow and I don’t know about you, but I live by the adage happy meat is a happy treat!

Ironically, that happiness is proving to be to the detriment of the morale of Vosburgh’s other animals who prefer to be left alone and quite frankly just don’t want to hear another comment about how their coats are lacking a healthy looking sheen and how a grass-fed diet will ensure their meat is rich with vitamin E.
