The steer above demonstrates how our "feedlot" works

· Grass fed beef is 4X-5X lower in fat than grain fed beef.  That makes grass fed beef as lean as chicken.

· Grass fed beef has 1/2 the saturated fat of grain fed beef.  Less fat = Fewer calories.

· Grass fed beef has a much lower chance of e-coli contamination.  A grain diet will increase the cow's stomach pH from 6.4 to 5.5.  The e-coli bacteria that adapt to the more acidic pH of a feedlot cow become much stronger, and are not easily destroyed by the human digestive process.

· Grass fed beef is 3X higher in Omega-3 fatty acids.  Those are the good fatty acids found in fish and nuts.

· Grass fed beef is 4X higher in Vitamin E.

· Grass fed beef has 5X more conjugated linoleic acid.  CLA has been shown to impede the growth of cancer cells.

· Grass fed beef has a much smaller carbon footprint .  Cows harvest their own food by grazing.  Grain production uses more water, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, mechanization, fuel, etc.

· Organs of grass fed cattle, such as liver and kidney, are safe to eat.  Organs from grain fed beef are normally reserved for pet food as they have been damaged by pharmaceuticals and the high acidity of a grain diet. 

· Grass fed beef will still keep its red color for about a month.  Many grocery stores now treat grain fed beef with carbon monoxide to help it maintain its color.

· Grass fed beef simply tastes better.
