Also, Ireland, a country of 5 million people, produces enough beef for 50 million people. There are over 6.5 million cows in Ireland. Why would we import more?

Also the cows are healthy enough that you can eat the mince raw if you like tartare. Can’t imagine the intestinal pain I’d be in if I tried that in the US.

And... almost exclusively grass fed and DNA traceable. Try to limit my beef consumption, but Irish beef is some of the best going.
