Grass Run Farms 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks, Smokey Sweet, 1 Ounce (Pack of 18)

Well these taste pretty good, especially the Smoky-Sweet flavor. And if they really are grass-fed, all the better.However, one of these beefsticks is not like the other.When you buy the variety pack (18 count), they pull a fast one and short you (literally) some meat. Included are pictures of the original flavor, which make up 1/3 of the variety pack, and are shorter and claim to be the same amount at 1 oz.You're probably thinking "well, they're probably just thicker then, right?" Negative. They're the same width. Which means they're either lying about the sizes of 2/3 their products, or 1/3 of their products.High marks for taste, low marks for dishonesty.Edit: Seller has explained anomaly. I recently had some when my brother and I went camping and he brought them. The flavor is still great, and they're still doing a good job with quality control and increasing consistency. I'll update if any problems come up again.

This is my third order and these are now 1inch shorter than the original box. I'm sorry but I will be finding a new brand of this is the type of service we will continue to receive. These are way too expensive to be decreasing the product. I have 3 left from my last order and they are on the left. The 2 new is on the right. No longer a happy customer. UPDATE- I weight the new and old stocks and the new ones are no longer 1oz. The old ones were but they have definitely taken lengthy and weight off of the sticks. Pics below. Old on the left and new on the right.

These are absolutely delicious! Not crazy salty like a Slim Jim. I really like these for snacking and have ordered several times already. I also tried the Smokey Sweet flavor also, but was not impressed. It just didn't taste as good to me as the original one does.

These are delicious and healthy. But I've ordered 3 times, and each time the sticks are significantly shorter. They're now just over half the length of my first order.

I really loved these when I first tried them, but the more I order, the more disappointed I become. Not only has the price risen drastically, but the quality has become very unreliable. Some batches are too soft and mushy, other batches look rather old and shriveled. When I first started ordering them, all of them were good quality, but maybe because of demand on a small farm, the quality is no longer reliable so I will be trying other grass fed beef sticks and hoping I find some that are more consistently good quality.

Updated: 8/17/15Grass Run Farms provided a coupon for the underweight items. In our latest batch all items are 1.15oz (in package) 1.05oz (out of package). We are very happy with this bunch, they came via FedEx so I think they spent less time in the heat. Consistency is good, flavor is spot on and love they are paleo (psoriasis hands) :-)Original post!I/we are on our third round of these. The first round was really good and meaty. Round two was mushy and concerning. Round three sticks are not all 1oz, most weigh .90oz out of the package, 1oz in the package. Out of 24 sticks, 20 were undersized.We'll continue to monitor the situation as these are an excellent grass fed product via amazon.Note: mushiness, wondering if hot southern climate is affecting consistency (100+ degree days during shipping)

I bought these to take on a family trip so that I wouldn't get stuck having to eat crappy food that's not compatible with my Paleo eating style. I was expecting a lot because they're grass-fed, etc, but they reminded me of the old beef jerky sticks I'd sometimes eat as an uneducated teen. They're good for when you're desperate or want to avoid the processed junk that everyone around you is eating. They pack well (I kept them in my purse) and were ok for a protein fix. I wouldn't buy them if you're looking for a "tasty snack," but rather for situations where you might not have healthy food available and want something natural to keep you going. I take them on flights and long car trips.

I was very disappointed and disgusted when I opened my package and one of the beef sticks had fungus all over it which then got into a few other sticks. I feel like this should have been quality controlled when it was packaged.
