The Implications Of Grass-Fed Beef Farms


by Minnie Whitley


Before 1990, numerous farmers used to fatten their animals by feeding them on grain and soy in addition to different supplements. They provided the supplements to the animals in the feedlots. But recently, there has been a developing pattern among farmers in having the cattle on ranches at home. They are then provided with grass pasture. Farms that offer such native feeding to its animals is what is referred to as a grass-fed beef farms.

This beef farming depends on natural feeding. There is no hormone application and promotion of animal growth using additives. As a result, the animals grow at natures pace. They experience very little interference which leaves them healthy and without stress. They do not demand antibiotics and such drugs.

The main importance of this sort of farming is derived from its highly nutritious and healthy products. Pasture fed beef, when compared with grain fed beef; contain far less aggregate fat, calories, cholesterol and saturated fat. It has high content of beta carotene and vitamins E and C in addition to other healthy fats.

The omega 3 contained in this meat is said to be very healthy, according to a recent animal study. The fatty acids have the potential of slowing down the rate growth of a wide variety of cancers, eliminating them from spreading. In case of cancer surgery, the acids help hasten the recovery process.

The study also highlights that the cancer patients that contain more fatty acids in their tissue have a high response rate to chemotherapy. The individuals having low levels respond in a slow manner as far as the test is concerned. These substances are formed in the chloroplast of the green leaves and grass and that is why they are more rampant in natural fed animal beef.

The art of grass fed farming requires more skill and knowledge than mere taking animals to the feedlot. In an effort to produce much tender and succulent meat animals, one has to feed them on quality grass and leguminous plants. This feeding should be more intense and sensitive, that is more quality feed, as the animal becomes more ready for slaughter. The farmer on his part should enhance a healthy and productive soil and carry out a continuous pasture management. A good soil will produce quality feed, which is paramount in quality animal products. The rest is left to the animal.

In spite of the fact that the grain, animal products are fairly affordable and convenient, the profoundly mechanized operations employed have produced much concern. The practice abuses and stresses the animals. It also misuses such drugs as antibiotics and hormones and results in produce with low nutritional value.

There is often a fallacious argument that natural based farming is unprofitable and time consuming. Though it is a fact that this farming is slow, expensive and relatively unprofitable it remains the most balanced and healthy system. The decision on what to consume entirely rest with the consumer, but be enlightened that products resulting from natural farming are nutritious and healthy. Opting for them not only boosts the health of your family, but also depletes environmental degradation.
