Grass-Fed Beef Farms Are A Simple Solution

By Katrina Wheeler


Cows that are grass fed have about 100 fewer calories per 6 ounces then grain fed cows. Many people do not believe that grass-fed beef farms make a difference in the production of meat and that what the cows eat does not matter. One thing they do not understand is that cows who are fed grass verses grain have less fat in the meat.

Omega-3 fatty acids are made up of three fats that are called ALA, EPA, and DHA. EPA and DHA both come from marine oils. Their proper names are eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. ALA stands for alpha-linolenic acid and originates from plants. Beef that is fed grass has two to six types of these positive fatty acids. People need these because they are highly important for a regulated metabolism and they have many benefits that are great for health.

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.

Many farms that feed their cows grass are local and family owned. These farms care for their animals and give them a good life. This ensures the animals are healthy and fed well, so they can pass their health benefits onto humans.

Many of these farms sell the meat right from their properties, which means there is a shorter amount of time that the meat travels before it gets to your home. This can help local economies and allow people in them to get jobs and not have to make a long commute to go to their job. So there will be more money held locally, which means a larger cash flow for the area. This can help build up the communities and help support the local producers.

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.

Since less manure is produced because these places are organic, this helps keep the water supply clean. The manure will get into the ground soil which hurts the water supply. It can also cause acid rain, which will ruin that brand new paint job on your car. The manure can also get into rivers and lakes, this will hurt or kill the fish that live in them. It mainly kills their food supply, because it eats their food in order to keep growing.

Grass-fed beef farms can have a positive impact on the health of many people. They can help make more local jobs available, which will keep more money in communities. Also most meat is sold from the farmers property so it is fresh. The meat from grass fed cows is better for you than grain fed cows and can help to improve the health of our planet.
