Why is La Cense Beef healthier than grain fed beef?
Grain is not a natural component of the diet of cattle. Cattle do not digest grain well, and as a result, antibiotics must often be used to help treat health issues that arise. Grass fed beef gleans many of its health benefits from the nutrients in the grass. The grass at the La Cense Ranch is high in Omega-3 fatty acids because they act as a natural plant anti-freeze. These Omega-3s are then present in the meat and dairy products of grass fed beef. Grass fed beef also has higher numbers of Vitamin E, Beta-carotene, and Conjugated Linoleic Acid – another beneficial fatty acid, all derived from the cow’s exclusively grass diet.
