While most cattle spend some of their lives in pastures eating grass before moving to a feedlot for grain-finishing, grass-finished beef cattle remain on a pasture and forage diet exclusively.<\/p>\n<p>A major benefit of raising animals on pasture is that our products are healthier for you. Compared with feedlot meat, meat from our grass-finished beef has less total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories. It also has more vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and a number of health-promoting fats, including omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA.<\/p>\n<p>CLA is a naturally occurring, free fatty acid found mainly in meat and dairy products in small amounts. It is known to be an anti-carcinogen, and CLA is also known for its body weight management properties, which include reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass.<\/p>\n<p>The most abundant source of natural CLA is in meat and dairy products of grass-fed animals. Research shows that grazing animals have\u00a035 times more CLA than animals fattened on grain in feedlots. Simply switching from grain-fed to grass-fed and finished products can greatly increase the intake of CLA.<\/p>\n<p>Omega- 3 is an essential fatty acid for human growth and development and grass-fed, grass-finished beef is a great source for this essential nutrient. The source of omega-3 is the green leaves of plants. When cattle eat their natural diet, beef becomes a great source of omega 3. Grain is not a rich source of Omega 3 and grain-finishing cattle will cause the omega-3 level to decrease dramatically.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_cta_button2 h2=&#8221;LEARN MORE&#8221; h4=&#8221;ABOUT OUR GRAZING&#8221; style=&#8221;square&#8221; txt_align=&#8221;center&#8221; title=&#8221;CLICK HERE&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;3d&#8221; color=&#8221;green&#8221; position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; link=&#8221;url:%3Fpage_id%3D83||&#8221; accent_color=&#8221;#f7f6ef&#8221;][\/vc_cta_button2][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][mk_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/altaimeadows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/p1020321.jpg&#8221; image_width=&#8221;1500&#8243; image_height=&#8221;1046&#8243; crop=&#8221;true&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What is Grass-Finished Beef?&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Dosis%3A200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text]Grass-finished beef comes from cattle that have been raised on a forage diet their entire lives.
