Grass-Fed Beef Farms Are A Simple Solution

By Katrina Wheeler


Cows who are fed grass diets verses grains have less fat. Most people think that meat is the same no matter what it is fed. What they do not seem to know is that cows who come from grass-fed beef farms have about 100 fewer calories for every 6 ounces of meat than grain fed cows.

ALA, EPA, and DHA are the three omega fatty acids. Their proper names are alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid. EPA and DHA come from marine oils, while ALA comes from plants. The grass fed cows have about 2-6 times more omega-3 fatty acids than that of normal grain fed cows. These are super important as they have many great health benefits and keep will help to keep your metabolism regular.

Since this beef has more Omega-3 fatty acids, it could help reduce the risk of cancer. Also people may deal with chemotherapy better if they have higher levels of Omega-3. So adding beef fed with grass to your diet could help with your health.

These types of farms care for their animals. They give them a good life and ensure the meat is healthy. These cows are fed healthily and well, which in turn passes these benefits onto humans. Most of these farms are locally owned and also owned by families.

These farms also help support local producers. It can help support local economies and give people in the community jobs. This means that more money will be held locally, which will help build communities. Also knowing that the meat is produced locally can help us ensure it was handled well. Most grass-fed farms sell the meat from their property, which means it has less travel time before it hits your plate.

The cows at these farms are eating the grass so this eliminates the need for mowers. This stops the production of fumes going into our environment. Also since no grains need to be grown for these animals, the cows' food supply is already there, this makes this type of farming very supportable.

The manure that is created can get into rivers and streams which can affect the fish living in them. It also destroys their food supply. Another negative thing about too much manure is that it raises the risk of acid rain, which will kill the paint job on any vehicle. So having grass fed cows, since the farms are organic, can reduce the buildup of manure created, which will reverse these side effects.

Most meat from grass-fed beef farms is sold from the farmers' land which helps keep the money in the local area. This creates local jobs, which keep communities growing. These places also have a positive impact on the environment as well as the health of the people. These farms can do nothing but set the planet up for a better future.
