"100% grass-fed" means
animals are free to wander around spacious green pastures for their
entire lives. In contrast to corn-fed animals in feedlots, animals that
exercise by walking around grazing green grass produce much cleaner and
nutrient-rich meat. For example, 100% grass-fed beef and lamb do not
require antibiotics to survive and rarely get sick. In contrast, Mad Cow
and E. coli are entirely feedlot produced disasters. Recent USDA studies
verify that 100% grass-fed meat has:
Half the fat and
cholesterol of corn/grain-finished meat: of that fat 41% is
mono-unsaturated (like olive oil)
CLAs which are
considered among the strongest anti-oxidants in nature
Omega-3s and an almost
four times better ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids
More vitamins A, E and
the B-vitamins thiamin and riboflavin.

Remember, cattle and sheep
that are "grass-fed" initially, but finished on grain lose these
benefits. Don't settle for less than 100%.
