Why is grass-fed better?
More Nutrition Naturally.
Studies show that cattle raised on grass produce beef that is more nutritious. Cattle are ruminants- they are designed to eat grass, not grain. We raise cattle following the animal's natural appetites and desire for free pasture.
Compared with grain-fed beef, grass-fed beef contains:
- Half as much fat as grain-fed animals- By switching to grass-fed beef the average American (67 pounds of beef annually) would cut out over 16,000 calories from their diets.
- 75% more omega-3: Potent anti-cancer agent, essential for a sharp, well functioning brain. and also reduces blood pressure
- 78% more Beta-carotene
- 400% more Vitamin A:Cancer fighter linked to both good vision and is necessary for bone development and prevention of skin disorders.
- 300% more Vitamin E: Anti-oxidant that lowers the risk of both heart disease and cancer.
- 500% more Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
Natural Environments, Healthier Habitats.
Our beef comes from cattle raised naturally on our family farm in Columbus, Indiana. Our cattle live the way cattle were meant to live, enjoying room to roam and grazing on grass and forages. Our cattle are treated with respect and handled humanely. They are never fed grain or animal by-products. We raise English-breed cattle which produce tender tasty beef and we never treat them with drugs, growth hormones, or antibiotics.
Sustainable Choice.
Raising beef cattle properly and ethically requires commitment to sustainable farming practices, including careful management of delicate ecosystems and natural resources. We work to preserve local wildlife and plants and avoid over-grazing that makes grass-fed beef a great choice for you and the environment.
