Now taking orders for "All Natural" - Grass Fed Beef
Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in the green leaves of plants and are not present in corn grain. Grass fed beef has
up to 10 times the level of Omega-3 when compared to grain fed beef. Diets rich in Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce the
risk of heart disease. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is 5 times more prevelent in grass fed beef vs. grain fed
beef.
CLA is considered a "good" fat and a potent defense against cancer. Beta-carotene is up to four times higher in
grass fed beef than conventional corn fed beef. Vitamin E is present in higher concentrations in grass fed beef vs.
grain fed.
To ensure quality, we don't use any type of implants, steroids, or growth enhancers. The cattle are not
fed any animal By-Products of any kind or antibiotics in the feed.
All of our cattle are raised out on pasture on grass and hay and not in confined lots. We know exactly
where our cattle came from and are in good health.
What is CLA?
The Basics. CLA is a newly discovered good fat called "conjugated linoleic acid" that may be a potent cancer fighter.
In animal studies, very small amounts of CLA have blocked all three stages of cancer: 1) initiation, 2) promotion, and 3)
metastasis. Most anti-cancer agents block only one of these stages. What's more, CLA has slowed the growth of an unusually
wide variety of tumors, including cancers of the skin, breast, prostate, and colon.
Human CLA research is in its infancy, but a few studies have suggested that CLA may have similar benefits in people.
A recent survey determined that women with the most CLA in their diets had a 60 percent reduction in the risk of breast cancer.
Where do you get CLA? Many people take a synthetic version that is widely promoted as a diet aid and muscle builder.
New research shows that the type of CLA in the pills may have some potentially serious side effects, including promoting insulin
resistance, raising glucose levels, and reducing HDL (good) cholesterol.
Few people realize that CLA is also found in nature, and this natural form does not have any known negative side effects.
The most abundant source of natural CLA is the meat and dairy products of grassfed animals. Research conducted since
1999 shows that grazing animals have from 3-5 times more CLA than animals fattened on grain in a feedlot. Simply switching
from grainfed to grassfed products can greatly increase your intake of CLA.
