Grass-Fed Health Benefits

Our grass-fed, grass-finished beef is valued not only for its rich, natural flavour, but for its nutritional integrity and the role it plays in supporting both human health and the land. Raised entirely on nutrient-rich pasture, our cattle produce beef that is naturally higher in omega-3 fatty acids – essential fats that support heart health, brain function and help reduce inflammation. It also offers a healthier overall fat profile, with lower total fat and a more balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than conventional grain-fed beef.

One of its standout qualities is its higher level of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a beneficial fatty acid associated with improved metabolism, immune support and anti-inflammatory benefits. Grass-fed, grass-finished beef is also rich in essential nutrients, including iron, zinc, selenium and B vitamins – particularly vitamin B12 – which are vital for energy production, muscle function, immune health and healthy blood formation. The protein it provides is complete and highly bioavailable, making it ideal for supporting muscle repair, strength and overall vitality.

Beyond individual health, grass-fed, grass-finished beef reflects a natural and transparent approach to farming. Our cattle are raised purely on grass, without grain-based feeds, growth hormones or routine antibiotics, resulting in a cleaner, more wholesome product you can trust.

In summary: Grass-fed beef is a nutrient-rich, leaner alternative to conventional beef. Its high levels of omega-3s, CLA, antioxidants, and essential vitamins make it an excellent choice for heart, brain, and immune health, while supporting lean muscle, weight management, and overall wellbeing.

Higher Omega-3 Fatty Acids

  • Grass-fed beef tends to contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart and brain health.
  • Omega-3s help reduce inflammation, lower triglycerides, and support cognitive function.
  • The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is more balanced in grass-fed beef compared to grain-fed beef.

Rich in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

  • CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in beef that may have anti-cancer properties.

  • Grass-fed beef contains 2–3 times more CLA than grain-fed beef.

  • CLA has been linked to improved body composition, helping reduce fat and increase lean muscle mass.

More Vitamins and Antioxidants

  • Grass-fed beef contains higher levels of antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin A (beta-carotene), and glutathione.
  • These antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress and support a healthy immune system.
  • Grass-fed beef is naturally rich in iron, zinc, phosphorus, and B vitamins, particularly B12.
  • Iron from beef is haem iron, which is more readily absorbed by the body than plant-based iron.
  • These nutrients are essential for energy production, immune support, and brain function.

Lower In Calories

  • Grass-fed beef is nutrient-dense but leaner, which can help with satiety (feeling full) while controlling calorie intake.
  • The CLA and protein content may support healthy metabolism and fat loss.

Better Fat Profile

  • Grass-fed beef generally has less total fat and saturated fat compared to conventional beef.
  • This may contribute to better heart health when eaten as part of a balanced diet.
  • With higher protein content and lower fat, grass-fed beef is excellent for muscle repair and growth.
  • Its amino acid profile supports strength training and recovery.

Free from Hormones and Antibiotics

  • Our cattle are raised without hormones or antibiotics.
  • This reduces your exposure to synthetic substances and supports a more natural, clean diet.
  • While this is more about indirect health benefits, grass-fed systems are often more sustainable, promoting healthier ecosystems and potentially fewer toxins in your food.
  • Eating sustainably raised beef may contribute to long-term community and planetary health.

Enhanced Flavour and Quality

  • Boasts a richer, more complex, earthy flavour, reflecting its natural diet and slower, more careful growth.

In summary: Grass-fed beef is a nutrient-rich, leaner alternative to conventional beef. Its high levels of omega-3s, CLA, antioxidants, and essential vitamins make it an excellent choice for heart, brain, and immune health, while supporting lean muscle, weight management, and overall wellbeing.
