Three big reasons to buy & eat grass-fed beef & lamb
1. Better for You: Healthier, safer, tastier, more nutritious
- No antibiotics, growth hormones, steroids, pink slime or other fillers and additives
- Lower in calories, cholesterol & saturated fats
- Higher in beta-carotene, Vitamins E, A & B-vitamins (thiamine and riboflavin).
- Higher in minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium
- Higher in heart-healthy Omega 3 and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)
- Significantly lower risk of E. coli; no risk of mad cow disease
2. Better for the Cows
- Grass is what God intended cows to eat! Their stomachs weren’t made to digest grain
- Our animals are never in a CAFO (confined animal feed operation) where they are administered antibiotics and other drugs, fed questionable feeds, and crammed into confined, manure-filled paddocks
- Our animals enjoy green grass, clean water, fresh air, no stress – resulting in healthier, gentler animals
3. Better for the Earth
- Our pastures are fed nature’s fertilizer, manure; no chemicals damage our soils & waters
- There’s no “waste management problem” with grass-fed beef and lamb; in fact, “cow pies” are like dessert for the chickens & dung beetles
- Less water pollution & greenhouse gas emissions
- Improved soil fertility & native biodiversity
- Well managed and maintained native grasslands store significant amounts of atmospheric carbon
- We use no fossil fuels to ship animals to western feedlots out, then to massive packing plants in the Mid-west, then to grocery stores all over the country
