Bad news: Niman Ranch is no more

I was surprised a few days ago when I was randomly browsing a series of restaurant menus and seeing, in more than one of them, meat items named "Niman Ranch [some-kind-of meat]".

Apparently, some chefs don't even get out of the kitchen to read the paper or otherwise learn the news. Bill Niman is no longer part of the company, which has now changed the feeding protocols to allow the use of antimicrobials and is moving the cattle to commercial feedlots for finishing – the Niman Ranch feedlot has been sold. Here is a recent article.

Too bad. Those menus now might as well read "Safeway flatiron" or "McDonalds rib eye".

Sad.
