How are the grass-fed animals cared for, and what do they eat?
Our Janzen Family Farms grass-fed cattle are raised to meet or exceed criteria established in late 2007 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the grass (forage) fed marketing claim standard. This standard states that grass and/or forage shall be the feed source consumed for the lifetime of the ruminant animals, with the exception of milk consumed prior to weaning. The diet shall be derived solely from forage and animals cannot be fed grain or grain by-products and must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season.
