HEALTHY CHOICE

Compared to corn-fattened cattle, grass fed beef has:

· Three Times More Omega-3 and less Omega-6 fatty acids. A test of meat from Bates Creek Grass Fed steers yielded an Omega 6:Omega 3 ratio of 3:1. A ratio of 4:1 or lower is ideal. Omega-3s are a potent anti-cancer agent, essential to a sharp, well-functioning brain, reduced blood pressure, and lower heart attack risk.

· Five Times as much CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), which has been known to decrease the risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes and increase bone density and the effectiveness of the immune system.

· Three Times more Vitamin E, a potent anti-oxidant that lowers risk of heart disease and cancer.

· Twice as much Beta Carotene, an anti-oxidant associated with eye health.

· Lower Amounts of cholesterol.

· Lower Overall Fat. University of Wyoming studies showed grass fed beef has 1/3 the fat found in grain fed beef. Our own hamburger tests 90-93% lean.
