Here at Watson Farms, we think grass is better when it comes to what our cattle eat. Instead of putting our calves through the conventional system where they usually end up in a feedlot, we keep the calves on our farm where they eat nothing but grass. We also don't administer any antibiotics, hormones or animal by-products to our grass-fed herds.

One of the main reasons for this method is the health benefits that grass-fed beef can provide. Studies show that grass-fed beef contains 60 percent more omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef. This increase allows for a more balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which is believed by some nutritionists to be crucial in reducing chronic diseases. Many more health benefits can also be provided by grass-fed beef through higher concentrations of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Conjugated Linoleic Acid.*

Furthermore, we see potential in our direct-to-consumer approach because it gives consumers the opportunity to contribute to their local economy. We process our beef locally and make it available to the consumer at low prices by cutting out several middlemen.

In the end we hope that you will discover for yourself the benefits of Watson Farms grass-fed beef and make us your source for high quality, natural beef. So e-mail Matt with questions or click here for order information.
