What you can know about Always Grass-fed Beef:

As members of the American Herbitaurus Association, and through their expert guidance, we have gone to considerable expense to develop a breeding program which will work toward every animal on our place being Certified American Herbitaurus. 

What does this mean to you? 

Our cattle have been carefully selected to produce meat that will provide a first class eating experience, and our breeding program will ensure that this experience improves with each subsequent generation.  Selection involved bringing in an expert in animal reproduction and health to analyze each animal’s ability to produce prodigy with quality taste, tenderness and texture through grass alone. 

This was determined through linear measurements, conformation traits, disposition, ultrasound of the loin muscle, and visual indicators of a healthy immune system, quantity and butter fat content of milk, and efficient utilization of grass.  Our base herd was then culled down to only those cows that proved to be superior and they were mated with a registered Red Devon bull which was examined through the same rigorous procedure. 

We now have in place a small herd that is capable of producing very good quality meat on the grass diet for which they were created.  Our beef will improve even more as each generation of females is added back to the herd, selectively building a gene pool for grass utilization and meat with great taste and tenderness.

 
Our cattle are fed a 100% grass-based diet their entire life, and they have the genetics necessary to produce superior meat when finished on grass.  The finishing process is that period of time when  final weight gain, back-fat, and intra-muscular fat are developed. 

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists press release which can be found at http://www.ucsusa.org/, finishing on grass results in:

ü      High ratios of good omega-3 fatty acids.

ü      A high ratio of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 acid linked to reduced risk of heart disease.

ü      Ground beef with higher levels of CLA, linked to reduced cancer risk.
