1. No Harmful Artificial Growth Hormones
Ranchers who raise grass fed cattle do not practice abusive use of synthetic growth hormones and antibiotics. However, there are types of growth hormone applications with safer guidelines that some ranch owners use, as well as using certain antibiotics for the cow’s hoofs and legs.

2. Higher Quality of Protein and Omega-3 Fatty-Acid
Lean and natural grass fed beef is very high in nutrients. Among the highest nutrients are proteins and Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in fish oil and certain plant/nut oils. The most common types of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-lanoline (LNA), deicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty-acids are known to reduce blood pressure, reduce risk of coronary heart disease, and improve blood circulation. There is evidence that n-3 fatty acids supplementation might be helpful in cases of depression and anxiety. Other benefits also include prevention of cancer, hypertension, arthritis, and other inflammatory and auto immune disorders. Natural grass fed beef also contains less fat, low in cholesterol and low in calories.

3. Natural Living Environment for the Animals
Supporting by consuming natural grass fed beef do not only add benefits to your healthy diet, but they also help ranchers continue the traditional ways of providing and maintaining a natural and healthy living environment for the animals and for the environment.
