Grass-fed Beef

If you are looking for “grass-fed only” beef you’ve come to the right place, we simply do not feed grain to ruminants. A lot of growers raise their beef on pasture and then finish on grain, although this does grow them out faster they lose the health benefits when fed grain at any level. It’s just not their natural diet so it is not consistent with our philosophy. We calve in the spring let them suckle milk for 6 months and they eat native grasses and hay until butchering. It doesn’t get much more natural than that!  It’s much more than just no antibiotics or chemicals, some people refer to it as “beyond organic”. 

We use a method of grazing called “Rotational grazing” that resembles the buffalo herds of the ancient plains of North America.  In the plains, a herd of buffalo would come to an area munch the forage to the ground and then move on leaving manure patties in abundance. Over time the manure would fertilize the soil and the grass would re-grow only to have the buffalo return and repeat the process. Today with portable electric wire we can simulate the same process. We section off an area for a few days until it is grazed off and then we move them to a new spot. The cattle come running when it’s time to move!  To really understand how this benefits the soil (and you) it’s important to know about organic matter and root structure. When you observe forages from above the ground you can generally estimate the root lengths to be about the same or a mirror image so to speak. If you cut the plant from above the roots will die off in length to match the above ground plant. This leaves decaying roots or “organic matter” deep in the ground. The more organic matter in the soil the more vitality it has. It can assimilate minerals better and the PH of the soil balances out better. This means the animals get more vitamins and minerals in their feed and better quality meat, eggs, and milk for you.

Just a note on preparation, as with most grass-fed meats you don’t want to overcook. For steaks we recommend a high heat for a short time and a crock pot for the roasts.
