USDA Definition of Grassfed Beef

Finally the real deal of a definition of what does grass-fed really mean.  In the geographical area of Southern Maryland we do not have the climate that supports 100% grass-fed beef cattle.  Some claim to be all grass-fed just to be on the band wagon with labeling but we do not feel that is suporting a beef cattle operation properly.  What is really important is that when you are deciding to eat beef you choose fresh local meat and you make sure that your animal hasn’t been penned up to be fattened.  I think that is what is concerning to most people, most consumers want to know that the beef they are eating has been treated humanely and not locked up in a pen to fatten it.

Our beef is raised on pasture year round with access to grain and hay daily.  We do not pen up our beef cattle to fatten them, it takes longer to finish our cattle this way but it sure is worth the wait.  Our beef grades out as high on the chart of Choice as it can get and we are striving for Prime to meet our customer demand.
