Why Grass-Fed Beef Farms Are One Choice

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.

ALA, EPA, and DHA are the three omega fatty acids. Their proper names are alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid. EPA and DHA come from marine oils, while ALA comes from plants. The grass fed cows have about 2-6 times more omega-3 fatty acids than that of normal grain fed cows. These are super important as they have many great health benefits and keep will help to keep your metabolism regular.

Through various studies, it has been shown that having higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids can increase your chances of making it through chemotherapy. Also they can lower the risk of getting cancer in the first place. Over and over again they have been proven to have positive health benefits on humans.

When cows come from grass fed farms they are stronger and healthier. The good thing about this is that it allows them to pass their good health onto the humans that consume them. Most of these farms are locally owned and by families. This helps determine that the animals are well taken care of and generally really healthy.

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.

Another great benefit of this farming method is that is does not hurt the environment. When grazing the animals it can help keep the landscape under control, this means no mowers, which means no fumes released into the atmosphere. They also are sustainable, due to the fact there is no need to grow grains, which is another product in itself, in order to feed them.

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.

Most meat from grass-fed beef farms is sold from the farmers' land which helps keep the money in the local area. This creates local jobs, which keep communities growing. These places also have a positive impact on the environment as well as the health of the people. These farms can do nothing but set the planet up for a better future.
