Benefits of eating grass-fed
beef
At Prairie Springs Ranch, we raise beef the old-fashioned way. Our animals are
born here, nurse on their mothers for 6-9 months, are then weaned to a diet of
pasture grass and hay that we grow here. We don’t use pesticides on our
pastures. We don’t use any growth stimulating hormones, and our animals are not
pumped full of antibiotics to keep them healthy. We do not butcher sick animals.
Our animals aren’t exposed to other animals that may have diseases.
Every fall the healthy grass-fed animals are processed
to bring to your table. The beef is instantly frozen to maintain freshness
and shelf-life.
We are not certified organic, mainly because we want to keep the cost of health
affordable to families: we try to keep our prices comparable to that of grocery
stores for regular beef, while providing a superior product, the simple, old
fashioned way.
Grass-fed beef is usually leaner than grain fed beef. Our first batch of ground
beef was tested to contain 5% fat, a level seemingly un-obtainable in grocery
stores. We like to add a bit of olive oil when we are cooking to keep it from
sticking to the pan!
One of the most pleasant benefits of grass-fed beef is flavor!! Grass-fed beef
tastes sweet, and smells rich while cooking.
