What is grass fed and grass finished beef?
Cattle naturally eat grass, not corn. Most cattle in this country are grass pastured for awhile, but are “finished” on feed lots where they are force fed corn or grain. If you’ve ever driven on back roads through Kansas, you’ll have seen the bleak, grassless feedlots where cows are fattened before being slaughtered. In addition to being an inhumane way to end the life of an animal we’ve come to depend upon, the meat itself is inferior. Grass fed-and-finished beef is lower in fat, higher in CLA (a fatty acid that may reduce the risk of cancer), and high in Omega 3’s (essential for human growth and development).
