YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Which broiler breed is right for your pasture?

Joel Salatin helps you select the best breed for pastured broilers. He contrasts slow-growing heritage birds (12–16 weeks for tough, dark meat) with the most marketable option: the Cornish Cross. Joel promotes the Cornish Cross as the efficient, credible alternative to factory farming. While it looks familiar to consumers, pasture-raising transforms its taste and quality.

Key Takeaways:

- Heritage breeds require 12–16 weeks; their meat is best for slow cooking or stewing.

- The Cornish Cross phenotype offers a marketing advantage by appealing to consumers' familiarity.

- Pasture-raising transforms the Cornish Cross's quality, making it the most marketable and efficient choice.
