There are many reasons why people are turning to grass fed beef. Typically, grass fed beef is cut-for-cut a more tender product. This is due to the way in which the cow is raised, grazing free in a field as compared to being cooped up in a stall, or pen. Additionally, as the animals have their diet focused on green plants, this allows for health benefits to be passed on to the consumer, including:
Higher Omega 3 content. (Omega 3 lessens risks of high blood pressure, cancer and cardiac problems)
Higher Vitamin A levels
More conjugated linoleic acid. (An anti-carcinogenic, which reduces body fat, helps prevent diabetes and heart disease, and is only created in ruminant animals)
Lower in Calories
Lower in Cholesterol
Up to 50% less Saturated Fat
Higher Protein content
Finally, our Grass Fed Beef is raised locally, at Taylors Pond Willow Farm, allowing for a smaller environmental footprint, and creating less transportation stress in the animals.
