Whats the difference between grass-fed beef, 100% grass-fed beef, and grass-finished beef?
Some cattle are fed grass for some of their lives and others are fed grass for all of their lives, but different people may use different terms to express this. We call the meat from our animals “100% grass-fed beef” because we think it is the clearest term. As noted above, our 100% grass-fed animals only eat grasses, never grains. “Grass-fed” animals (without the “100%”) have surely eaten some grass, but may eat grain as well, especially at the end of their lives (grain-finished). “Grass-finished” typically also means the animals are “100% grass-fed” in that they were both fed grass during the beginning and middle of their lives, and finished on grass, but the animals may have eaten grain at some point other than during the finishing. If you are not sure what a farmer’s animals are eating, ask.
