The Grassfed Cattle Company was started more like a back yard hobby than a business...actually in the pastures of the Tin Roof Ranch owned by Darrell Phelps, a good friend of mine. Darrell has been raising Texas longhorns for meat for his family for close to twenty years with no added growth hormones, antibiotics, or any other added chemicals...grass fed totally. Texas longhorn is a lean healthy m
eat with a wonderful flavor. Grassfed Cattle Company also raises angus! The angus is also raised just like the longhorn, being grass fed only and free of any of the manmade chemicals mentioned above. I'm sure you've heard grass fed meat is not tender and needs grain to be finished off for tenderness.This simply is not true. Healthy pastures that cattle are able to graze freely make happy cattle! This makes their meat tender! The Grassfed Cattle Company provides the ribeye, sirloin, and tenderloin for their customer...and the rest of the cuts of the cow are the hamburger...which makes INCREDIBLE HAMBURGER! Very rich and good fat content. You may special order a cow cut to your specs if you would like. But I have found this is the best way to cut the meat. The best way to cook grass fed meat is low and slow...like pork or chicken...to maintain the tenderness and flavor. Of course I have recipes that I would love to share with you! Just let me know if you want them. Scientific stuff! CLA and omega-3: Two good reasons to go Grassfed
CLA is the common abbreviation for Conjugated Linoleic Acid. CLA occurs naturally in beef and milk. CLA has many health benefits. Various studies have shown that CLA:
Increases metabolic rate
Increases muscle mass while reducing fat
Strengthens the immune system
Reduces risk of cancer
Reduces risk of diabetes
Reduces risk of hyperthyroidism
Normalizes thyroid function
The levels of CLA are much higher in grass fed cattle than in conventional cattle. Cattle eating green grass produce a lot CLA. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid. Humans must have the right balance of omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids to be heatlhy. Unfortunately, the Standard American Diet (SAD) is totally unbalanced in favor of omega-6 fatty acids. Almost all Americans need far more omega-3 in their diet. The omega-6 excess has been associated with a greatly increased risk of cancer, heart disease, obesity, rapid aging, and many other health problems. Many doctors advise their patients to take fish oil capsules to try to help with the imbalance. GRAIN fed beef is totally unbalanced with a excess of omega-6 fatty acids. GRASS fed cattle have a much higher level of omega-3. Grass fed beef has the proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Factory cows are confined in a feedlot for months..never allowed to graze, fed unnatural foods(grain), and pumped full of hormones and antibiotics, which can cause your immunity to antibiotics. Grassfed Cattle Company cattle spend their lives on good pasture, peacefully grazing, while eating the food they were designed to eat. GRASS! They are together in a herd with other cows and have the social interactions normal for cattle. We know the happier the cow, the better the meat. Less stress means more tender meat! Enjoy your healthy beef from The Grassfed Cattle Company. The healthiest beef you can eat!
