Nutrient dense foods produce a healthy body and mind. Keen awareness of our environment should make us choose our food source wisely. In recent years, the way we think about food has evolved. There’s a growing awareness of the environmental impact of our dietary choices and a greater focus on consuming nutrient dense foods. One remarkable option addressing these concerns is raising beef on open ranges, fed only a grass-based diet. This article will explore how open-range, grass-fed beef is not only better for the environment but also produces a nutrient dense food source that surpasses what is typically found in grocery stores.
Sustainable Ranching Practices Produce Nutrient Dense Food:
Open-range ranching practices are a stark contrast to conventional feedlots that confine cattle to crowded spaces, consuming grain-based diets. These open-range systems allow cattle to graze on natural pastures which promotes healthier ecosystems. These practices result in lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduced water usage, and decreased soil degradation compared to intensive feedlot operations. This knowledge should make your choice of beef clear. Listed below are just a few of the considerations when choosing open-range grass-fed beef for your family.
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Grass-fed cattle produce fewer methane emissions than grain-fed counterparts, contributing less to climate change. This reduces their carbon footprint, making grass-fed beef a greener option.
Water Conservation: Grass-fed cattle systems generally require less water than the production of grain-based feeds, further mitigating environmental stress.
Grass-Fed Beef Versus Grass-Finished Beef
I think we need a side note here about what is grass-fed versus grass-finished. The term “Grass-fed beef” describes meat from cattle that ate grass at the beginning of their lifecycle. “Grass-finished beef” comes from cattle that ate nothing but grass and forage for their entire lives. Did you get that? When you consider it there is a very big difference.
“Grass-fed beef” on the other hand, may be used to label meat from cattle that were started on a grass diet but have either received supplemental grain feed or are finished on a fully grain-based diet. The truth is the majority of “grass-fed beef” labeled in grocery stores, although labeled “grass-fed”, spent the last several months of their lives eating grain in feedlots to help them quickly gain weight.
Commercial agriculture is being compensated by the weight of the beef sold, therefore fattening them up is crucial for their bottom line, not our health. According to the USDA, it is not a requirement for cattle to have a full grass-fed diet in order to get the “grass-fed” label on your beef’s packaging. Is this surprising to you? One more point to bring out, “grass-fed” is not necessarily pasture-raised. What that means, among other things, is that the cattle are not free-range consuming a variety of diversified grasses.
Corporate agriculture in the United States currently allows commercial feedlots to confine cattle to pens that house between 100 – 125 animals and allow 125 – 250 square feet per animal!

Their cattle are free-range and allowed to graze a diversity of grasses in rich soil and live for twice as long, creating an amazingly nutrient-dense, double-aged, flavorful beef, packed with phytonutrients and metabolites. Committing to 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef is their stewardship to the land. Non-GMO, Hormone & Antibiotic-free.
Climate Positive Practices – Regenerative Agriculture
Climate Positive practice that embodies regenerative agriculture on their 40,000 acre family ranch. Choicing their beef will make a long term health difference. There are several significant health benefits to choosing 100% grass-fed and finished beef:
- Grass-fed and Grass-finished beef is 20% lower in calories than grain-finished beef and has higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA’s (Conjugated Linoleic Acid — an essential fatty acid that fights cancer and inhibits body fat), and Vitamins A and E.
- Grass-fed and Grass-finished beef contains high levels of metabolites and phytonutrients. Over 26,000 phytonutrients are found in plants. We also know that the more diversified grass source in the animal’s diet, the more metabolites become bioavailable to the human body which keeps our cells healthy & functioning properly.
- Flavor profile: Grass-fed & finished beef is known to be some of the most nutrient-dense. The more nutrient-dense a portion of food, the more flavorful it is known to be.
BioNutrient Food Association Publishes Nutrient-Density Study on this Ranch’s Beef – Dec. 12, 2022
“Nutrient Density Study by BioNutrient Food Association
In a recent study on nutrient density, by the Bionutrient Food Association, Carter Country Meats ranked 64% higher in phytonutrients & metabolites when compared to the average grass-fed beef company, 76% higher in essential amino acids, and 239% more nutrient-dense than that of grain-finished beef. Those numbers are a result of the regenerative process that we’ve refined, producing some of the most flavorful and nutrient-dense beef in the world.
Choosing grass-fed beef from open-range ranches can also have a positive impact on local economies. These ranches often operate on a smaller scale, providing jobs and supporting local communities.“
