| There are many health benefits of eating grass-fed beef. Perhaps you have heard of the important studies that have been made which cite the health benefits of Omega-3 oils? A diet with a high proportion of Omega-3 oils is better for your heart, brain and liver functions. When you hear people talking about all the great health benefits for eating salmon, they’re talking about Omega-3 oils. Iowa State University conducted a study in 2001 and found that there are more Omega-3 oils in grass-fed beef than there are in fish! Combine that with the fact that you’ll have 700% greater chance of getting an E. coli infection from eating feedlot beef, the benefits of choosing grass-fed beef become resoundingly clear. Cows were born to eat grass.You cannot find anything more natural. By eating grass-fed beef, it’s not just your health that improves, the ecosystem’s health improves. Management Intensive Grazing (MIG), also known as "grass farming," "rotational pasture management," and "prescribed grazing" is an environmentally and economically viable system of forage-based animal production. Vermont's landscape and topography are well suited to pasture production. North Hollow Farm’s livestock are rotated from pasture to pasture and self-harvest most of their own feed. Our staff closely monitors the health of both the animals and the pasture plants to ensure that optimal feed conditions are met. |
