Purchase Grass Fed Beef
Grass fed beef has numerous health benefits over store bought, grain fed beef. According to the Mayo Clinic 1 the benefits are:
WebMD concludes 2: "Grass-fed beef has significantly lower levels of saturated fat compared to grain-fed beef. In fact, the fat content of grass-fed beef can be compared to skinless chicken. Replacing saturated fat in grain-fed beef with the unsaturated fat in grass-fed beef has been proven to reduce your risk of heart diseases."
We raise cattle to manage range land and periodically sell off half or whole steers direct to consumers. Our beef is grass-fed and grass-finished with no hormones or antibiotics ever. Our fields are never treated with pesticides nor herbicides.
We take the cattle to the processor, you tell the processor how you want your beef butchered, what cuts you want and the sizes. Then you pick up when the processing is complete.
We sell by total weight, just like you had purchased it at the cattle barn. As of October 15, 2023, the going rate is $3.00/lb.
Details:
- Lower total fat content
- More heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
- More omega-6 fatty acid (linolenic acid)
- More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E
