Grain-Fed Cattle Better for Everyone

Commercial beef production is an industry in serious need of regulation. Commercial names from coast to coast have been cited for everything from sanitation violations to animal treatment in recent months.

When you patronize meat production facilities farming cattle allowed to roam free, it’s better in so many ways. Cattle fed natural grain rather than hormones yield much healthier beef. Many production facilities use hormones to allow young cattle to gain weight much faster than they would otherwise.

The problem with hormone use in food production is, increasingly, these producers are using more and more chemically based options. And certain studies show these chemical agents have cancer-causing agents. Allowing cattle to grow the natural way, without hormones, is much healthier for both the animal and consumer.

This not only makes for much healthier beef on your dinner table, natural beef farming is also much better for the environment. Much less of a drain on resources than obtrusive, beef factories, free range cattle obtain sustenance from the fields and streams Mother Nature afforded them. What’s more, you can rest assured you aren’t patronizing a facility profiting off animals suffering in confined spaces.
