Our 100% grass-fed beef is more than delicious: It’s a healthy alternative to conventional, grain-fed beef. It’s lower in both fat and calories than conventional beef and is a great option for beef lovers looking for heart-healthy, lower-calorie options. A 6-ounce grass-fed steak from La Cense, for example, has approximately 100 fewer calories than a 6-ounce steak finished on grain.
La Cense Beef is also higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for enhancing heart health, as well as reducing the risk of arthritis, obesity, insulin resistance, allergies and autoimmune diseases. Conversely, La Cense Beef is lower in the Omega-6 fatty acids that may contribute to development of heart disease, cancers and depression.
Because our cattle graze only on grass and plants, our beef is much higher in beta-carotene, with approximately twice the amount found in grain-fed beef. Beta-carotene is helpful in reducing the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Last but not least, La Cense Beef contains no pesticides, antibiotics or hormones, which have been linked to a host of cancers, developmental issues and immune disorders.
When you buy 100% grass-fed La Cense Beef, you're looking out for your own health, as well as for the well-being of the cattle and of the earth.
Grass is the natural food for cattle – not grain, which is difficult for cattle to digest and can necessitate the use of antibiotics. The introduction of even a little grain into the cattle's diet diminishes the quality of the beef, reducing both health benefits and the real beef flavor. Most beef in most supermarkets and butchers comes from gigantic industrialized meat processors, who are more concerned with their bottom line than with raising healthy cattle in humane ways. They pack cattle into feedlots where the animals are fed grain laced with antibiotics, hormones and steroids so that they grow bigger faster and can withstand the cramped, inhumane environment. Even some so-called "grass-fed" brands can be "finished" on grain to produce rapid weight gain before market.
La Cense Black Angus cattle are born, raised, and finished on our Montana ranch, where they graze rotationally in open pastures on the tips of tall grass. Strangely enough, this sustainable approach is somewhat revolutionary nowadays, but it's the way cattle were raised for centuries and the way they're still raised in places like Argentina, which is known for its exceptional beef.
