Why Grass-fed Beef?
- What does grass-fed mean?
It simply means that cattle are raised their entire life on natural grasses. They eat a diet that is made up of grass, legumes and herbs . They live outside, in natural conditions, and are humanely raised from the time they are born until they day they are processed.
- Aren’t all cattle raised in this way?
Nope! In fact, most beef has been raised in a factory-farm setting where cattle are raised in the stressful confinement of overcrowded feedlots where they are exposed to disease and fed diets that are not natural for them.
One reason to prefer a pastured, grass-fed cow is that it’s had a dramatically better life than its feedlot cousin. Grass-fed animals remain on pasture from birth to market, roaming around in fresh air and sunshine.
The diet of grass-fed cows is what it was always meant to be fresh pasture. Cows are ruminants. They have the ability to convert grass into food that they can digest. (This is done by the rumen, a 45-gallon “fermentation tank” in which resident bacteria convert cellulose into protein and fats.)
Grass fed beef has the taste that comes from how cattle are supposed to be raised – never eating anything but grass, as was intended. Grass fed beef not only tastes better, it’s far more healthy.
The Health Benefits of Grass fed Beef
Grass fed beef is low in both overall fat and lower saturated fat, and it provides a considerably higher amount of healthy Omega-3 fats. The benefit to a diet high in Omega-3 is a lower risk of heart attacks, high blood pressure, , attention deficit and Alzheimer’s disease.
For example, a 12-ounce steak from a grassfed animal would not only have 1/3 as much fat as a grain fed animal, it would have fewer calories, and more Omega-3. Meat grown on grass is rich in vitamin E and is higher in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), a nutrient associated with lowering cancer risk.
