There is free range meat, Free Range Egg s and free range dairy farming. In Ranching , free range livestock are permitted to roam without being fenced in, as opposed to fenced-in Pasture s. This has little or nothing to do with "kindness" to the animals. DEFINITION The U.S. Department Of Agriculture requires that chickens raised for their meat have access to the outdoors in order to receive the free-range certification. Free-range chicken eggs, however, have no legal definition in the United States. Likewise, free-range egg producers have no common standard on what the term means. Many egg farmers sell their eggs as free range merely because their cages are 2 or 3 inches above average size, or there is a window in the shed. The UK definition also says that a free range chicken must have daytime access to open-air runs during at least half of their life. However, this definition also applies to eggs. TERMINOLOGY IN AMERICAN CHINESE IMMIGRANT CUISINE Authentic restaurants with Chinese-language menus may offer 黃毛鶏 (Yale Cantonese: wòhng mouh gāai huang mao ji , literally yellow-hair chicken), essentially a free-range chicken.
