So here’s what we have seen about the advantages of grass fed beef and dairy…..and it sounds pretty good:

  • More antioxidant Vitamin E
  • More antioxidant Beta Carotene
  • More CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid – cancer prevention)
  • Less Fat/Saturated Fat (this is more natural levels for wild meats)
  • Less Omega 6s, More Omega 3s (more natural balance)
  • Less chance of that animal getting sick or producing sick meat!

If you can't get it locally, I've heard great things about Grass Fed Traditions.
