Natural Beef Company

Why we strive for Lean Protein

The beef that we provide for our customers is a lean product.  This type of lean red meat, trimmed of fat, does not raise total blood cholesterol or LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.  There is also not an increase in cardiovascular risk factors when lean beef is part of your diet.  Beef is a natural source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).  Research suggests that increasing the CLA in your diet suggests may have cancer-fighting properties.  In addition CLA has positive effects on cardiovascular disease, body composition, insulin resistance, immune function, and bone health.  Lean protein also has the antioxidant Selenium in it.  Selenium helps protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals.  Research also suggests that lean protein can prevent chronic diseases, such as type-2 diabetes and osteoporosis.  We pride ourselves on producing healthy lean beef.

• Vitamin B12 is needed for the normal functioning of body cells and the nervous system.  Did you know that Vitamin B12 only naturally occurs in animal cells. 

Why we do not use Hormones

We would prefer our cattle to grow a little longer than injecting growth hormones into our beef.  Injecting hormones into cattle to increase growth rates and body mass has become an acceptable practice.  However, the hormones have health impacts for the men, women, and children who eat the beef.  In some cases negative effects from the hormones can include cancer and a negative impact on child development.  There are also environmental effects when the feces and urine from the cattle enter waterways and causes pollution.  This pollution has a negative effect on the fish and other animals living in the water.  We feel it is very important to provide a hormone-free product to our customers as well as to our own family.  All-natural beef is what we provide and we are proud of that!

Why we do not use Antibiotics

Antibiotics are used to treat and prevent disease in humans and animals.  The overuse of antibiotics is leading to diseases that are not easily treated like before.  This occurs because antibiotics are present in the beef that is being consumed.  In order to prevent this from happening to our beef, we take pride in gently handling our cattle.  We believe that keeping our cattle free from stress and roaming freely keep our cattle healthy.  We provide a clean environment for our cattle and check on them almost everyday.  Handling our cattle in these manners allows our cattle to be healthy and ensures that we do not use any antibiotics in our beef.
