Grass Fed Cows Verses Feed Lot Raised Cattle

The grass diet results in beef that is lower in fat and calories while being higher in antioxidants like vitamin E and beta-carotene. Grass-fed cows also produce meat with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid, which are beneficial for heart health. Since the cows are allowed to graze freely outdoors, grass-fed beef is considered more humane and environmentally friendly than conventional feedlot beef.
