HEALTH BENEFITS OF GRASS-FED BEEF
In 2007 the USDA established a standard definition for the “grass-fed” claim that requires continuous access to pasture and prevents animals from being fed grain or grain-based products.
The greatest health benefits from grass-fed beef help fight cancer, heart disease, and obesity. Grass-fed beef is packed with heart healthy omega-3’s, and lower levels of harmful omega-6 fatty acids. It is also one of the richest known sources of anti-carcinogenic conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and contains high levels of much-needed vitamin E. Additionally, grass-fed beef has been shown to help with blood sugar regulation, and is also less likely to be contaminated during meat processing. Last but not least, many grass-fed cattle, including Sweetwater Beef, are raised using no hormones or antibiotics.
ABOUT US
Your steer is being raised humanely in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner by two really nice people!
Your steer was born and raised at high altitude (over 7500 ft) in the San Luis Valley and San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. The region has plentiful rivers flowing out of the mountains that are lined with cottonwoods and lush natural pasture. This area has a rich and unique ranching and farming tradition dating back more than a century and a half to the first Spanish-American settlers in the 1850’s.
