Buying Grass Fed Beef Can Affect Your Health

Most of us, perhaps including you, do not know much about the importance of eating healthy beef. I guess we've got so accustomed to what we've been told over 3 decades that eating too much red meat is bad for you. Well, there's a lot of truth to that. Eating red meat from industrial feedlot beef producers will eventually make you sick! You probably heard of e.coli contamination and the harmful side effects of synthetic hormones and antibiotic residue on cow's beef. Well, they are all true.

Many don't realize the impact that this type of beef production will eventually catch up and bite us in the rear. Mainly because of the fact that there has almost no adequate testing done on the the possible health effects of this practice. It is a sad fact that most of us do not value the authentic natural grass fed beef that are being offered by local and sustainable ranchers.

Buy Grass Fed Beef - Support Local Ranchers!

Grass Fed Beef, I'm predicting will be a scarce commodity once the rate of chronic illnesses sky rocket. Because sustainable organic farmers and ranchers are disappearing every day. We will not have enough natural beef to go around even if you want it. The demand will be so high that only a few can attain them. But if we start now, supporting grass fed beef from local ranchers will possibly save the future from big Ag businesses who are trying to take over the entire supply of beef.

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.

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.
