What are the animals fed?
American Prairie Partners has strict guidelines specifying that their longhorn cattle be fed a well-balanced, diet of natural grasses, small grains, minerals, vitamins and amino acids. Q: How does the taste of longhorn compare to conventional beef? A: It is what we do not do that makes our natural beef products taste so great. Our longhorns are raised in the natural environment of the prairie. They may grow slower than “feedlot” beef, but we consider raising longhorn beef like our ancestors did, the old fashioned way. Added hormones and antibiotics cause the animal’s body to retain moisture that can influence the marbling, change the flavor profile, and even reduce tenderness. All to make that animal grow faster. Selective, pure longhorn, breeding produces the highest quality beef possible Genetic based – Oldest cattle breed in America Consistency and superior product performance Known origin from birth Q: Why do American Prairie Partners beef cost more than grocery store beef? A: Cons
