Worried about what you are "really" eating? Have peace of mind with pasture grazed meats.
Harvest time has arrived. It just makes sense that the best time to harvest Certified Grassfed Beef is from pasture, with green forages, near the end of the growing season. Our pastures are predominantly warm-seasons grasses and as August comes to a close, our growing season is 90% complete. The herd has spent all summer putting on fat for the upcoming winter.
What makes sense, according to natural cycles, is backed up by science. We have written extensively about healthy fats in previous blog posts and documented our results by lab testing the fatty acid profile of our beef. Wherever you see green (grass, leaves, chlorophyll) you are are looking at Omega 3 fats. Omega 3 fats are the most abundant fats in nature BUT they are also highly perishable. These fats are lost once the plant dies (cut for hay). In addition, Omega 3 fats do not persist long within the animal. So to capture these Omega 3 fats in the beef we provide our customers, now is our primary harvest time.
Below are a few photos of beeves that will be harvested in 2020. We are happy with how these animals look. Vibrant, healthy and showing good “grass fat” cover. Remember, these animals have never been fed an ounce of grain. By the way, do you know they can’t digest grass either? The billions of microbes in their gut do the work to convert inedible green forages and into fatty acids that build and maintain the animal. This unique process creates healthy animals and meat that our customers consume. God’s design is simply amazing.
