Why Grass Fed Grass Finished Beef is Superior

When it comes to choosing beef that’s better for your body and the planet, grass-fed, grass-finished beef checks every box. But it’s not just a buzzword—it’s a meaningful difference you can taste, feel, and even see on your plate.

Let’s break down why grass-fed, grass-finished beef is nutritionally superior to conventional grain-fed beef, from the big picture macros to the tiny but mighty micronutrients.

Grass-fed beef comes from cows that eat grass instead of grain. But not all “grass-fed” beef is created equal—some cows are grass-fed for part of their life and then finished on grain.

Grass-finished means the animal ate grass for its entire life. No corn. No soy. Just the natural diet cows are meant to eat. This results in healthier animals, cleaner meat, and better nutrition for you.

Macros That Matter

Compared to grain-fed beef, grass-fed, grass-finished beef has:

• More protein per ounce – leaner cuts mean you get more protein and less fat.

• Less total fat – and the fat it does have is better for you.

• Fewer calories per serving – nutrient density without the heaviness.

Micronutrients That Make a Difference

Grass-fed beef is richer in:

• Omega-3 fatty acids – anti-inflammatory and good for heart and brain health.

• CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) – linked to fat loss, improved immunity, and reduced cancer risk.

• Vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant that protects cells.

• Vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) – supports vision, immunity, and skin health.

• Zinc, iron, and selenium – essential for immune support, oxygen transport, and thyroid function.

These nutrients are more bioavailable (easier for your body to absorb and use) when they come from a whole food source like clean, pastured beef.

A Healthier Animal Means Healthier Meat

Cows raised on open pasture aren’t just better nourished—they’re also raised with less stress and more space. That matters. Stressed animals raised in feedlots often have higher cortisol levels and require more antibiotics.

Grass-fed, grass-finished cows live as nature intended, and it shows in the quality of their meat.
