The science proves that grassfed beef is healthier than meat from factory feedlots. Our cows eat grass. That's what cows are designed to do. It seems obvious, but that's not what happens at a traditional feed lot. Almost all the beef you buy at a grocery store has been fed corn, other grains and nutritional supplements so they will gain weight more rapidly. Because their stomachs are not designed to handle this diet, they are then given antibiotics and other medication to prevent health problems. They are also treated with hormones designed to make them grow faster and larger. The fat from these animals might be tasty, but it's certainly not good for you, so drain it off.
The fat in pastured beef, in contrast, contains the natural nutrition that cattle gain from a diet of grass. It is higher in antioxidents, Omega-3 fatty acids, carotene, CLA (a cancer-fighting fat), important vitamins and nutrients (up to 4 times more vitamin E in grass-fed beef than feed lot beef), and lower in harmful saturated fat. Lean beef can lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels. In short, nutritionists agree that pastured beef provides nutrients that are crucial for mind and body. Plus, our beef is all USDA inspected and approved. Click here to see more about the health benefits of grass-fed beef.
