Why Grass-Fed is Better

It's Healthier for You

In nature, cattle eat grass – not grain. Because of this, beef from grass-fed cattle is healthier than beef from grain-fed cattle:

• It is higher in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLAs);
• It is higher in Omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef;
• It is lower in calories and saturated fat than grain-fed beef;
• It provides more dietary protein.

Moreover, this "health" food does not come at the cost of taste. Grass-fed beef is delicious, with a flavor and texture that is simply absent in grain-fed beef.

It's Healthier for the Animals

Grass-fed cattle live the life that nature intended. At Walnut Hall, our cattle roam freely over rich, open pastures, where they eat the food they were designed for – grass. Contrast this to the conventional model of grain-fed beef, where cattle finish their lives in cramped feedlots, standing in their own muck, and forced to eat a diet (grain) that sickens them over time.

Because Walnut Hall cattle eat grass, they are healthy and free of antibiotics, steroids, and other growth-promoting hormones.

It's Healthier for the Environment

Grass-fed cattle are raised naturally. They are nature's fertilizers, moving through pastures to spread soil-enriching manure. Moreover, by providing a financial incentive for the nation's farmlands to remain grass-covered and undeveloped, they help keep America green and reduce our carbon footprint.
