The age-old debate of lot-feeding animals vs grass-feeding is still very much alive among farmers. But did you know that the difference in the diet of cattle who is lot-fed is almost unrecognisable compared to that of cattle who are grass-fed? If a cow is lot-fed their diets become almost “artificial” as it is denied the proper nutrients that it can gain from fresh, green grass. While animals in feedlots are fed in this manner in order to reach the market weight requirements, the cow’s digestive system isn’t designed to continually consume corn or grain products, causing them to get sick often. As a result, they’re given a constant dose of antibiotics. 

We believe animals must be free to roam and graze as nature intended- grass only, not grain-fed in lots. Grass-fed beef is also better than grain-fed beef as it has significantly lower levels of saturated fat and is higher in nutrients and antioxidants.
