All of our cattle, lambs, goats, pigs, and bison graze all natural grasslands. During "emergency situations" (deep snow, etc.) they may be fed grass hay, alfalfa hay, alfalfa cubes, or clover hay (all natural green leafy plant material). That's it. No strange feeds such as "starch-free" plant proteins, grains, cottonseed meal, and what-have-you are allowed.

Our Web site starts with a brief explanation of the multifaceted nutritional advantages of natural 100% grass-fed beef, but we also market additional grass-fed meats.

The differences between grain-fed and grass-fed livestock products are universal. Therefore, the story behind beef is very similar to the other livestock products. In other words, pastured chicken is far better nutritionally for you than grain-fed chicken. If we had 100% grass-fed chicken it would be on a par with natural 100% grass-fed beef. Therefore natural 100% grass-fed beef and other grass-fed meats are far better for you than pastured chicken and farm-raised fish! Livestock products that are simply labeled "organic," "lean," "natural," and "free range" aren't even in the running. In fact, organic beef never means "better nutritionally" nor greater safety. See Contaminants in Beef.

We have a broad selection of natural 100% grass-fed meats: Beef, Lamb, Goat, Pork, Bison, Salmon, Halibut, and King Crab. We also carry grass-fed butter, and a variety of raw milk, grass-fed cheeses! We have pastured poultry as well as vegetables and fruit. Also check out our no-grain condiment page. Why is "no grain" important? See Omega-3 Essays.

Make no mistake about it. Some offers of grass-fed meats on the Internet and elsewhere are PHONY. Many producers of so-called grass-fed meat products, even small outfits, feed grain, brewers and distillers solubles, cottonseed and soybean meal, and other strange feeds not associated with the green leaf in order to "finish" their critters prior to harvest. Some actually put their beef cattle in "finishing lots" where they are fed non-green leafy feeds -- mostly the aforementioned brewers and distillers solubles.

They may call their meats grass-fed because the critters were on grass prior to and even while being fed grain or other feeds. But in our book, any grain or non-green-leafy-based feeds is not grass-fed. Additionally, many of these outfits brag up about how delicious" their meats are and that they guarantee tenderness. Others say their meats are gourmet meats with lots of marbling. Our meats are simply grass-fed. Usually with very little marbling and loaded with the grass-fed flavor that changes throughout the growing season. And not always are our meats the most tender. That also varies. Real grass-fed is not a perfect world.

Many consumers compound the grass-fed identification problem by confusing "natural" grain-fed outfits as being grass-fed. Some of the natural beef marketers that come to mind in that category are Blackwing, Niman Ranch, Laura's Lean, Maverick, Nolan Ryan's, Oregon Country, Coleman, Painted Hills, Montana Range, Creekstone, Prather, and Dakota Beef to name just a few. In all cases these "natrual" folks market feedlot beef that comes from cattle fed grain.

Here at Slanker's Grass-Fed Meats, when we say "grass-fed" we mean:

ABSOLUTELY NO GRAIN AND OTHER

NON-GREEN-LEAFY-BASED FEEDS

AND THAT IS OUR GUARANTEE.

We may be redundant here, but we want to emphasize to everyone that terms such as "natural," "organic," "free range," "wild game," "certified," "prime," "lean," heart friendly," "low carb," and "low fat" do not mean "grass-fed." Nor do any one of these terms refer to superior nutritional characteristics. Many marketers of "wild game" feed grain. Most Bison producers feed grain. And even health food type stores, such as Wild Oats, Whole Foods, and others, all to often do not understand the differences between grain-fed and grass-fed. And when they do happen to market grass-fed meats frequently they don't buy American! Frequently we see that they import their grass-fed meat products from New Zealand, Australia, and elsewhere from around the world. So how "fresh" is that "fresh meat" they sell. New Zealand meats come by ship and sometimes it can take up to six weeks from processing the meat to the customer's refrigerator! Our American raised and processed meats are flash frozen after aging to preserve freshness at the nine day point until you thaw them out. Now that is FRESH and it's American! So, as always, if you want "grass-fed" investigate before you invest. As for the nutritional qualities of our grass-fed meats check out a fatty acid analysis of one of our beef cuts posted on this Web site under Fatty Acid Analysis.

100% Grass-Fed Natural Beef

Nutritional Analysis

Slanker's 100% grass-fed natural beef is a positive step back in time because it gives consumers the old-fashioned flavor and natural nutritional advantageous of real beef. Better flavor makes dining more enjoyable. Better nutrition improves health and fitness, which increases self esteem, peace of mind, and long term security.

Sometimes folks ask for a nutritional analysis of grass-fed meats. Well, a complete analysis would be so extensive it would be beyond the known needs of animal life! Since we know the green leaf is the foundation food for all animal life, the nutrients in grass-fed meats and their relative balance are down the centerline for the nutrient requirements our human bodies require -- no more no less. There is no other food that compares to the nutritional perfection of meat from a grass-fed critter. Therefore, grass-fed meats are a nutrient standard.

It wasn't until after man started eating grain, grain-based foods, and grain-fed livestock did he start to worry about the nutritional analysis of his anemic foods. That's when he discovered he had to also invent nutritional supplements. Grass-fed meats are not anemic. Consequently one just eats them like man did prior to inventing grain farming and the concocting of foods. Therefore we don't worry about measuring. We just eat.

Check out the simple nutritional ledger below. Note how grain-feeding drastically lowers vitamin levels and skews fatty acid profiles of even these few selected nutrients. If grain does that to cattle, it also does that to people.

Beef's Nutritional Ledger
	Grain-Fed Beef	Grass-Fed Beef
Added Hormones	Usually	No
Fed Antibiotics	Usually	No
Fed Grain	Yes	No
Omega-3 Fatty Acid	0.1	1.22
Omega-6 Fatty Acid	3.1	1.08
CLA	0.21	1.46
Beta Carotene	41	87
Vitamin E	1.3	5.3
Vitamin A	10	52
Total Fat	High & Saturated	Proper Balance
Flavor	Bland/Pasty	Original and Bold
All Other Factors	Fair	Perfect
E. coli Danger	High	Minimal

With 100% grass-fed beef consumers are rediscovering the real meaty flavor beef always had prior to the “invention” of the feedlot. With 50% less saturated fat grass-fed beef does not feel greasy because it isn't greasy. Nor does grass-fed beef leave a pasty tasting, greasy feeling in your mouth when you eat it.

Nutritional scientists report that by switching to grass-fed beef you will lose weight, have a healthier heart, reduce your risk of cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and allergies, improve mental clarity, and more.

These health claims sound almost too good to be true, yet the scientific evidence is overwhelming. The reasons involve fundamental nutritional differences. Compared to grain-fed beef, grass-fed beef has higher levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), more Beta Carotene, more Omega 3 fatty acids, more Vitamins A and E, and lower levels of saturated fats.

These attributes and nutrients are essential for good health. Americans must start paying attention to their nutrient intake and reduce their consumption of saturated fats, trans-fatty acids (partially hydrogenated oils), grain-filled processed food products, and grain-fed livestock products. If they don't, health and health care costs will remain their number one concern.

An additional note: 100% Grass-Fed Beef from Slanker's Grass-Fed Meats does not, repeat, does not, come from cattle that have been implanted with artificial hormones or fed subtherapeutic levels of antibiotics. Those practices are totally unnecessary in the production of grassfed cattle on grass. Although, we might add, many producers do it. Neither do we inject our meats with solutions and chemicals to hold those solutions. Many meat processors do that. This is why it's so important to know who raises the food you put in your body.
