What does Pasture Raised, Grain-Finished mean?
About our beef
Our beef is Naturally Pasture Raised, Grain-Finished.
Naturally raised beef comes from cattle that have never received antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones.
Pasture Raised means that our cattle spend their entire lives grazing and eating from pastures.
Grain-Finished means that within 4 months of butchering, our cattle are also free to eat a balanced diet of local grain in addition to the pasture.
The difference between finishing cattle with grain instead of grass only is ultimately taste, we prefer the enhanced marbling, and flavor from pasture raised, grain-finished beef.
