Grass Fed Advantage

Meat from grass-fed, pasture raised animals is lower in fat and lowers “bad” LDL cholesterol.

There are 2-4 times the amount of Omega-3s in grass-fed meats than grain-fed meats. Omegas 3s play a vital role in every system in the human body.

People with high Omega-3 diets are less likely to:

have high blood pressure.
50% less likely to suffer from heart attack.
Suffer from depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease.
May reduce risk of cancer

CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, are 3-5 times more plentiful in grass-fed meats than grain-fed. CLA may be one of our most potent defenses against cancer.

In one study, CLA reduced the risk of breast cancer in women by 60%.

It’s the natural way; sheep and cattle are intended to eat grass.

Native grass covered land is less susceptible to erosion.

Native grass covered land builds organic matter in the soil, whereas grain farming destroys organic matter with the use of tillage, chemical fertilizer and herbicides which are necessary for modern grain farming.

Native grass provides a diversity of plants, ensuring a healthy ecosystem and balanced nutrition to our animals. This diversity of grasses also provides a habitat for many different types of wildlife.

Healthy native grasslands, like we have at Walnut Creek Farms, require no fertilizer. This is a solar powered system, productive and sustainable, requiring nothing from the petroleum industry.

Choosing products from grass-fed animals supports small farmers, safeguards the environment, and promotes animal welfare.
