All of our beef products are processed and packaged under USDA inspection. We care about our customers and are proud of our products; we want the highest quality possible. After all, we've taken an extra year to grow our
delicious grassfed beef to be highly nutritious: lower in total fat and calories yet high in B vitamins, iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, beta carotene, and CLA, so why would we take any chances on food safety?
Feeding cattle their natural diet of plants greatly reduces the risk of E. coli transmission (see www.eatwild.com for more information).
The USDA inspector plays the key role in spotting contamination at the source (processing). The discovery of "mad cow disease", officially known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE,
and scary cases of E. Coli in the American cattle herd has
caused many people to re-think the source of
their meat. As most people know, the best science we are given indicates that BSE is caused by ingesting BSE-contaminated tissue. Since our cattle don't eat animal products of any sort, this is not a problem
with our beef. Though the jury is still out as to an undeniable cause of BSE, it seems clear that "pushing the river" by manipulating animal production beyond normal limits through unreasonable means will create damage, sooner or later. Slow and easy is Nature's way.
It costs more to keep cattle longer, therefore our prices are higher than commodity beef. We believe that once you taste our delicious and tender, lean and clean beef, you won't downgrade to the ordinary stuff again. |
