Why grass raised animals grows healthy people?

Have you ever wondered how your food choices impact your body and the planet? At our regenerative cattle ranch in East Texas, we’re passionate about raising animals the natural way—intensively grazing them across diverse pastures, skipping herbicides and fertilizers, and rolling out hay in winter to spread fertility naturally. This approach isn’t just great for the soil—it’s a nutritional powerhouse for you! Dr. Paul Saladino, a leading voice in animal-based nutrition, emphasizes that red meat from grass-fed, regeneratively raised animals like our cows is a “superfood” packed with vital nutrients. Compared to grain-fed options, pasture-raised beef boasts higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids for heart and brain health, and minerals like zinc and iron to boost immunity and energy. A 2022 study found grass-finished beef had significantly higher omega-3s and antioxidants like vitamin E, making it a standout choice (Stephan van Vliet et al., “A 2022 Survey of Grass-Finished Beef Consumers and Nutrition,” Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022).

Why does this matter for you and your family? Dr. Saladino highlights that humans have thrived on meat for millennia, and for good reason—it’s a cornerstone of optimal health. Our cattle graze on lush, diverse pastures, mimicking nature’s design, which enriches the meat with antioxidants like vitamin E and beta-carotene to fight oxidative stress, plus a better balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids to curb inflammation, a driver of chronic issues like heart disease and fatigue. Research spanning decades shows grass-fed beef has up to five times more omega-3s and twice as much conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid with potential anti-cancer and immune-boosting benefits (Cynthia A. Daley et al., “A review of fatty acid profiles and antioxidant content in grass-fed and grain-fed beef,” Nutrition Journal). Regeneratively raised beef is cleaner, freer of toxins, and aligned with our ancestral diet. By ditching conventional, grain-fed options and embracing pasture-raised meat, you’re tapping into a nutrient-dense food that’s a game-changer for your well-being. Your body will love the upgrade!

Here’s the exciting part: choosing regenerative pasture-raised animals benefits you and the planet. At our ranch, we build biological life in the soil, creating a thriving ecosystem that cycles nutrients naturally through our cattle to your plate. You get meat rich in nutrients like zinc, iron, and vitamin E to support energy, sleep, and overall health, all while backing a system that heals the earth. A 2024 study on pasture-finished cattle found 4.1-fold higher omega-3s and 3.1-fold more alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) compared to grain-finished beef, boosting its nutritional edge (Stephan van Vliet et al., “Pasture-finishing of cattle in Western U.S. rangelands improves markers of animal metabolic health and nutritional compounds in beef,” Scientific Reports, 2024)
