100% Grass Fed Beef: The New Health Food
New, leaner beef is on the rise, and Springerhill Ranch produces the best 100% grass fed ground beef!
Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef
Grass-fed beef has more beta-carotene, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids than beef produced using conventional cattle-feeding
Strategies.
Our grass-fed cattle live out their lives on the range or pasture eating grass or hay. Their meat contains a higher level of nutrients.
Cattle fed primarily grass have 60 percent more omega-3 fatty acids and a more favorable omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. Omega-3
fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent heart disease and arthritis. Omega-6 promotes inflammation, blood clotting and
tumor growth. Because the two substances work together to promote good health, it is important to maintain a proper balance of
omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The essential fatty acids are also highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly
important for cognitive and behavioral function.
Raising cattle on grass boosts the beef's level of a conjugated acid (CLA), a lesser-known but important group of polyunsaturated
fatty acids found in beef, lamb and dairy products. Over the past two decades, numerous health benefits have been attributed to
CLA in animals, including a reduction in cancer, heart disease, onset of diabetes and accumulation of body fat. To achieve these
benefits, the average person should consume about 5 grams of CLA per day. A 3.5-ounce serving of grass-fed beef provides 1.23
grams of CLA, 25 percent of the daily requirement. The same amount of conventional beef provides less than 10 percent of the
daily requirement.
