Fed Beef Farm, where we sell natural and healthy grass fed (also
known as grassfed or grass-fed) beef. The purpose of this web site is

Our cattle are all natural,
even better
than organic since they are pasture-fed and not grain fed. Grass
fed beef, also known as pasture-fed beef, should not be confused with
organic beef or free-range beef, as stated by Jo Robinson, author of
"Why Grassfed is Best" (organic beef may be free of chemicals
but does not guarantee the omega-3 rich diet of grass fed beef). To
learn about how you can tell if beef is grass fed beef or not click

Our beef will have a more
wild taste and is very lean. You probably won't feel the need to use
a George Foreman Grill. The big difference is the fat complex. Pure
grass fed beef contains natures healthy ratio of omega-3 fatty acids
and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA or "good fats") since our
cattle do not receive any corn or grain in their diet, only fresh pasture
and organic hay in winter. Note: CLA has been found to be highly protective
against cancer when added to the diets of laboratory animals. (C Ip
et al, Cancer, 1994, 74(3 suppl):1050-4).
