A petaluma slaughterhouse under investigation for selling tainted beef may have a new owner and back in business after a massive recall. Our betty yu had been on the story and has an update. Reporter Rancho Feeding Corporation in petaluma shut down after the feds uncovered meat that was unfit for humans caught up in all of this chaos some highend meat producers whose livelihoods are now threatened. Tara smith showed us the damage 30 boxes of frozen beef put on hold part of a massive nationwide recall. It doesnt make any sense. Reporter because the cows on her small ranch in Sonoma County are grassfed and as healthy as can be. The thing about Grassfed Beef when its grassfed and grassfinished, is that you will have a lot more nutrition. Reporter but her cows were butchered at a local slaughterhouse thats now under investigation for processing diseased and unsound animals. Terra firma ranch is just one of dozens of local Grassfed Beef producers hit hard by this recall. Everything in this case comes within about 25 miles of where we are right now. Reporter adam parks sells the meat at his butcher shop in petaluma and says the recall has given his grassfed industry an undeserved black eye. This has been a burgeoning movement in Northern California and in our county in particular of bringing the highest quality grassfed well raised well cared for humanely butchered beef to our local consumers. Reporter local ranchers dont believe they should be included in the recall saying its too vague because their grassfed cows brought into slaughter were in the minority. Rancho feeding corporation is mostly in the business of slaughtering socalled retired dairy cows. Those animals do tend to be older. Reporter Jeremy Russell with the north American MeatAssociation Says older dairy cows are used to make cheaper ground beef products. That is exactly why the u. S. Sets a minimum standard for any animal thats going to enter the food supply and thats why they have inspectors present. Reporter the usda has an onsite office at rancho, but in a statement says the processing of the diseased cattle was done without the benefit of federal inspection. Big players like walmart have pulled the tainted products from their shelves. But we found that many of the mom and pop stores on the recall list still have no idea. Theres close to 1,000 of them. After we told the owner of bonfair market in alameda, he quickly removed some recalled hot pockets. Back in Sonoma County, adams insists his beef has nothing to do with frozen processed food. We can prove our animals are safe. Theyre done on a separate day. They dont comingle with the old dairy cows. Reporter you think there could have been cross contamination . No. Not possible. Why go to the extreme . All its done is shut down a plant that will really hurt all of the local Grassfed Beef growers here. Reporter the usda has had little to say on why it failed to catch the problems earlier. But it did confirm today that marin sun farms a gourmet meat producer has submitted an application to take over operations at the slaughterhouse. But that of course may take some time. Tonight at 11 00 we talk to the godfather of Grassfed Beef who says this recall may mean it will be a lot tougher to find locally raised meat and he is talking about the meat because they raise these cattle and they slaughter them seasonally. That meat that was slaughtered in 2013 is now sitting in freezers and they are on hold. And its confusing for a lot of consumers because youre wondering, okay, do i have that meat in my fridge . You know, theres a lot of products it ranges over. Reporter absolutely. Right now theres a particular list of items out there that if you go to our website, we have a list of them there. For example, particular hot pockets, but in terms of the grassfed stuff, thats where it gets confusing. Likely if you bought it from a bay area producer, it may be no good. Okay. Betty, thank you.

Californias drought emergency has people looking for all kinds of solutions. And as allen martin shows us, one town is getting some help thanks to beer. Reporter they didnt even really know it but this is a story of a small town that cut a deal with the local brewery and when they shook hands, no one had any idea just how good a deal it would turn out to be. Reporter before you can enjoy a racer 5 youll need a few things. Malted barley, an ipa so it will take plenty of hops but above all, youre going to need a lot of water. The ratio generally speaking in the industry is about 6 to 7 gallons of water to producer one gallon of beer. Reporter a little more than a year ago, Bare Republic brewing wanted to expand this operation. But when they went to city hall we were told that we wouldnt be able to give us the conditional use permit. Reporter thats because cloverdale couldnt provide the infrastructure. That infrastructure turned out to be water. Reporter to ask city officials about water, we had to skip city hall with its robust orange trees because city officials had actually set up shop at the local fair. And guess what they were there to talk about. Water is gold. Yeah. Theres only so much. Reporter cloverdales water comes almost exclusively from lake mendocino and the russian river. A system in danger of becoming a postcard for the california drought. We asked the city, whats it going to take to get more water . They said, well, we need to put some more wells in. Reporter so Bare Republic wrote a check for nearly half a million dollars. There are just paying it forward in advance allowing the city to do the expansion. Reporter the brewery also started recycling its wastewater to cut back on its overall use. We are only using 3. 5 gallons of water for every gallon of beer so were very efficient in that regard. Er in a good neighbor. Yeah. They are a good neighbor. Yeah. Reporter so the beer keeps flowing and the town gets two new wells. A winwin deal in time for the drought. Its a good thing we did. If we didnt, not only Bare Republic but the city itself be in much drier straits. Again, that deal was cut before the drought. Those two additional wells fronted by the brewery really could mean the difference between having a water supply and running out. Any idea when those wells will be finished and able to store water . When they will start pumping . The plan was to start pumping in july but if the lake and the river are too dry it may not be possible. On the other hand, we get some rain, the city says those wells are about ready to go. Wow. Yeah. Creative. City saved by beer. Perfect. Great headline. Well, it wont be raining beer. That would be strange. An answer to dreams. Wait, then i woke up. [ laughter ] all right. But it will be raining water which apparently in cloverdale three gallons to one gallon they can make something good out of it. We can all use some rainfall around here. Well get it.
