100% Grass Fed Beef
Our cows are 100% grass-fed, and never receive grain. Cows were built to grow on long-stem grasses, and studies conclude that animals raised on pasture are more fit, more calm, and better balanced nutritionally than animals fed grains. This equates to healthier meat that is better for human health than grain-fed beef in ten ways. It is: Lower in total fat, Higher in beta-carotene and vitamin E, Higher in the B-vitamins thiamin and riboflavin, Higher in calcium, magnesium, and potassium, Higher in total omega-3s, A healthier ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (1.65 vs 4.84), Higher in CLA (cis-9 trans-11), a potential cancer fighter, Higher in vaccenic acid (which can be transformed into CLA), Lower in the saturated fats linked with heart disease.
