About Grass-Fed Beef
It's Good for You
Consumers looking for naturally raised beef, without the addition of hormones and antibiotics, are turning to beef that is fed and finished on grass..
Leaner and with less calories, grass-fed meat is rich in fats proven to be health enhancing while low in fats linked to diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Good for the Planet
Ranchers who produce grass-fed meats are stewards of our environment, as they
not only utilize land to graze animals, but also maintain a vegetative cover
on the landscape that prevents erosion. Grass helps clean the air as it draws
in noxious carbon dioxide and stores carbon in its underground root mass.
Animal welfare proponents support the humane husbandry of allowing animals to mature on pasture at a normal growth rate. Fresh pasture and dried grasses are the natural diet of all ruminant animals, which are primarily cattle, sheep and goats.
Good to Eat
Grass-fed beef is delicious. A lean meat, it shouldn't be overcooked and after cooking, should sit covered for a few minutes to let juices redistribute before serving. For tips on cooking, see our resources page.
