We began raising 100% Grass-fed Beef with the idea of producing the purest most natural beef possible not only following close to organic practices but also going one step further by requiring our beef to be 100% grass-fed with NO exceptions! |
Our Beef Production Protocols:
100% Grass-fed - NO Grain
At Seven Sons our beef comes from animals that have been given access to fresh pasture with diets of 100% grass and absolutely NO grains or supplemental feeds.
This ensures that the cattle are raised in a low-stress environment with plenty of fresh air and sunshine.
Many producers raise their cattle on grass but then switch them to grain diets for the last few months of their lives. Some of these producers are then selling this beef as "grass-fed." when it is not. It is important to understand that the healthy attributes of grass-fed beef diminish very quickly when given access to grain.
Omega-3 & CLA Tested
We are one of the only farms to require our beef to be tested and proven to contain high amounts of Omega-3 Fatty Acids and CLA's.
We send samples of our grass-fed beef to Utah State University where it must undergo extensive testing and analysis.
For more information please visit our Testing and Analysis Page.
NO Fed Drugs or Antibiotics
Our beef must come from animals that have never been fed any kind of feed grade drugs or antibiotics.
In commercial feedlots low-level antibiotics are administered day after day to help manage highly concentrated, grain diets. Grass diets eliminate this concern and risk.
In rare situations if an animal becomes sick or injured a (non-fed) therapeutic antibiotic or drug may be administered at this time. If this occurs the recommended withdrawal period stated on label is tripled.
NO Hormones or Steroids
Our beef must come from animals that have been raised without the use of hormones, steroids, artificial growth stimulants, or animal by-products.
Humane Slaughter
Our beef must be processed u sing only humane slaughter methods.
