Grass Fed Beef

• Did you know that grass-fed beef has a large amount of omega-3 (fights heart disease) but that grain-fed beef has almost none?
• Did you know that grass-fed beef has large amounts of C/L/A (cancer fighter) but that grain-fed beef has almost none?
• Did you know that grass-fed beef has 70 percent less cholesterol than grain-fed beef?

The Flying J Farm raises grass-fed beef cattle in a chemical-free pastured environment. This meat is available all year in popular cuts for your dinner table. We produce beef in this way because it is healthier for human consumption than conventionally raised beef. We also, raise the beef this way because it is friendlier for the environment and better for the cows.

Why Organic?

Certified organic beef is raised with NO chemicals and NO antibiotics. On the other hand “conventional” beef, the type you buy in the grocery store, is raised for the last 6-8 months of their lives on grain, confined in closely packed feedlots. Because of the highly stressed, close proximity of the cattle and the fact that they live in their own excrement during the whole time, to keep them from getting sick, they must be given antibiotics regularly to keep them alive.

In these conditions, there is an increased

risk that E-Coli will infiltrate the meat. In addition, these cattle are given hormones and steroids to make them grow fatter, faster and provide greater profits for the producer. Studies have begun to show that some of these chemicals are getting through to the humans who consume the meat. Finally, these feedlots produce animal waste in quantities that pollute streams, lakes, and urban water sources.

Why Grass-Fed Beef?

Grass-fed beef cattle are raised on pasture for three seasons and hay during the winter. This is the natural environment for these animals and they do not need, nor are they given, any chemicals to stay healthy throughout their lives. The cattle have acres of room to graze in green pastures that result in contented cows that produce better tasting and tender meat. The manure from the cattle does not go into the streams and instead is treasured as fertilizer for the pasture as well as for other crops on the farm.

Chemical-free means no harmful chemicals enter the cows so none is in the meat that you eat. The dangers of excessive use of antibiotics are well documented in the medical journals.
