Grass fed: A Better, Healthier Option for Your Family
The omega-3sYou are what you eat. It proves to be true in grass finished cattle.
Grass finished cattle gain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids because they are getting them from the chloroplasts of the green leaves they are consuming. Grass finished beef can be up to 5 times richer in the omega-3 fatty acids than grain fed beef. |
Lean beefNaturally lean, grass finished beef is high on flavor and low on fat. Trade in a grain fed steak for a grass finished steak and cut your fat by one third to one half.
The flavor and quality of grass finished beef will surpass your expectations and set the bar for your future purchases. |
environmental stewardshipOur land is our greatest asset and we strive to create a vibrant business that supports and improves the land in this beautiful valley.
Our cattle graze on summer pastures and annual cover crops. Cover crops are dual purpose: providing forage for our beef herd and building our soil to promote healthy row crops. |
Thoughtfully raised: ANimal Care matters
|
Red Star Ranch's husbandry practices are centered around the belief that animals should always have access to fresh pasture. |
|
Cattle, pigs and poultry are grazed on perennial or annual cover crop pastures and are supplemented with grass or alfalfa hay during the winter if necessary.
We have stringent veterinary practices in place that allow us to humanely treat our animals but also remove them from our program if antibiotic treatment is necessary for their comfort. We do not use any growth hormones. We carefully consider our movement and handling of animals to keep stress to a minimum.
