What does grass-fed mean?

• Commercial beef, the beef you buy in the supermarket, has been finished. This means that for 50-100 days (or more) the animal has been fed large quantities of high-calorie feed, primarily corn. High-calorie feed does the same thing to cattle as it does to us – it makes them fat. And when we eat the meat from such animals, the fat is passed along to us.
• Grass-fed cattle are not fed high-calorie feeds. Rather, they are allowed to eat green grass or grass hay. Grass-fed cattle do not become fat in the way grain-fed animals do. Therefore, the meat from them is leaner. Meat from grass-fed animals is also higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, Beta Carotene and Conjugated Linoleic Acid than grain-fed beef.
• To qualify as grass-fed, the American Grass-fed Association requires that 95% or more of the animal’s primary energy source be grass, legumes or forages. Our animals satisfy this criterion.

How does Bar 7 Natural Beef differ from supermarket beef?

• Our beef is grass-fed, with no antibiotics and no growth implants. Only 20 – 30 percent of the calories from our grass-fed beef come from fat. This is about the same as a breast of chicken with the skin removed. Unlike USDA-graded supermarket beef, we use no hormonal growth stimulants, appetite enhancers or antibiotics.
