Nature’s Cattle: South Dakota’s Pure Natural Grass Fed Beef Producer

We run a small operation raising Longhorn and Longhorn cross cattle. Our cattle are raised naturally on pasture, the way nature intended, and are not confined. We use no hormones, implants, antibiotics or grains. Longhorns are proven to have less cholesterol than other cattle and are a healthier meat product. We chose Longhorns because to us they are the cattle closest to nature. They originally survived on their own for centuries without man’s interference; survival of the fittest. As a result they are smarter, tougher and sounder than other cattle. We love the colors and their great disposition. They are fun friendly cattle.

The Truth About Natural Grass Fed Beef

There are still many of you out there who believe that "natural" grass fed beef and feedlot beef (the ones we buy from local supermarkets) are about the same product. The truth is they are about as different as night and day. Because of lack of transparency and false marketing, the consumers are forced to believe that the beef they buy from local grocery store is the same as the organic/natural (grass fed) beef that many years ago available to most of us directly from the ranchers themselves.

It is regarded as one of the biggest catastrophe in human health in the coming years.

Part 1 - Benefits of Grass Fed Beef

There is now a big demand for all natural grass fed beef amongst the health conscious beef consumers. But affordable grass fed beef is not easy to find. Although you may find these high-priced grass fed beef products on the Internet or through mail order catalog, they are meant to cater mainly the upper middle class people who can afford these inflated prices. Now, you may wonder why is it that these prices are so high, that only the rich can afford them. Well, the prices of all-natural grass fed beef are extremely high because of high in demand but lack of supply. And producers of these natural healthy beefs know this very well. You may say that these beef producers price these products so high because “they can”. In other words, if the supply of these natural beef products somehow met the demand these prices would not be as inflated and exaggerated.

Knowledgably consumers also know the difference in value between commercial grocery beef and natural grass fed beef. Most beef that we buy from our local supermarkets are from large corporate feedlots. Feedlots are these confined ranches where cows are grain or corn fed to increase their body fat before slaughter for better profit gain. Not to mention that these cows receive regular synthetic hormonal treatment to increase their muscle mass. This inhumane practice is known to have harmful effects on the consumers. You should also know that diseases amongst cows that are in these confined conditions are very prevalent which forces ranchers to treat them with antibiotics which then become part, as residue, of the beef products that you buy from commercial supermarkets.

There are much more that most beef consumers do not know about the real reason for the scarcity of natural grass fed beef. Most of us have been told that it is just too costly to produce 100% natural grass fed beef and sustainable ranching is just not conducive to fit our modern beef market economy. But is it all true?
