5 reasons why grass-fed beef is the better beef

Did you know? Not all beef is created equal!

Yup, it’s true! I have talked about this before in my blog post titled, “Why I choose grass-fed beef.” 

In that post, I share my experience of how I grew up eating grass-fed beef. Then later in life, I switched to store-bought grain-fed beef, and now I am back to grass-fed beef again!

That was certainly a learning journey, but today I want to share my thoughts about why I feel grass-fed beef is so much better than conventionally raised grain-fed beef.

At 1092 Legacy Meats, our beef is 100% grass-fed AND finished. 

Truly grass-fed and finished beef is simply a better beef; here are my top 5 reasons why:

1. Grass-fed beef is better for your health.

Our cattle live a naturally healthy lifestyle that, in turn, makes them healthy by nature!

Our beef is free from any antibiotics, drugs, or hormones. It’s just 100% grass-fed and finished goodness!

Grass-fed cattle produce beef that is high in good fats like Omega-3’s and heart-healthy, cancer-fighting conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). 

You can feel good about eating beef from 1902 Legacy Meats, because it’s good for you!

2. Grass-Fed practices allow for the humane treatment of animals.

100% grass-fed cattle require a lot of time out on pasture. All that time out on the pasture in the open air and sunshine is exactly the lifestyle that our animals enjoy the most.

They are free to roam, graze, forage and socialize with the rest of their herd. 

Sunshine + Fresh Air + Green Grass = Healthy Happy Animals!

3. Grass-fed practices build healthy soil!

We work to be the best stewards of our land by working with nature to build organic matter and resilience in the soil. 

No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides are used on our pastures.

With our planned grazing practice, the cattle are moved to different parts of the pasture to keep the grasses healthy. This lets the grass recover and return more carbon to the soil, resulting in healthy natural prairie grasses for our cattle to consume.

4. Grass-fed practices may help reverse climate change.

Cattle seem to get a bad rap when it comes to climate change. But, as the saying goes, it’s not the cow; it’s the how!

At 1902, we practice rotational grazing. We care for our natural resources with regenerative practices to protect our lands and wildlife. Taking carbon out of our air and absorbing water for healthy, functional soils.

5. Grass-fed beef simply tastes better!

Grass-fed cattle do not only consume grass. In reality, they are out on our Oklahoma prairie foraging for all sorts of wild edibles. This diverse diet, along with plenty of exercise is translated into the taste and texture of the beef. 

Grass-fed and finished beef provides a more complex, interesting, and nuanced flavor that grain-fed beef lacks.

Go ahead and give it a try! Be sure to let us know why do you choose 100% grass-fed?
