Health Benefits of 100% Grass-Fed Beef
Eating 100% grass-fed beef helps lower the risk of heart disease, and it has the following advantages over grain-finished beef:
- 10 times higher in beta carotene
- 5 times higher in CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which has antioxidant properties
- Half the saturated fat content
- 4-6 times lower in overall fat
- 2-4 times higher in omega-3 fatty acids and a healthier ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s
- 4 times higher Vitamin E
- Higher in Vitamin C
- Higher in B vitamins thiamin and riboflavin
- Higher in calcium, magnesium and potassium
- Virtually no risk of E coli
- No antibiotics, hormones or steroids used
- No by-product feedstuffs used
- Feedlot cattle stand in manure lagoons with nitrogen and phosphorus levels that contain heavy metals and hormone residues that create toxic waste.
- Certified naturally grown, 100% grass-fed cattle are raised on pastures that are naturally fertilized (no chemicals) and fed all natural hay as supplements in the winter.
- By not shipping cattle to feed lots, we lower transportation costs and fossil fuel use.
- Grass in pastures absorbs more methane in a day than a cow can produce in a year.
