THE CATTLE OF HEADWATERS DO NOT SEE THE CONFINEMENT OF FEEDLOTS, OUR CATTLE SPEND THEIR LIVES ON GREEN PASTURES. 

HAPPY HEALTHY COWS ON GRASS, IT'S SIMPLE.

Grass-fed meat is: 
 
Healthy for people. Grass-fed meat is lean, contains a high percentage of good fats – Omega 3s and ESSENTIAL antioxidant vitamins and minerals. 
 
Nature intended that animals. Cattle, goats, sheep, and bison evolved to eat grass and not much else. Feeding them a diet rich in grains creates an acidic environment in their digestive systems, WHICH leads to disease and the need for treatment with antibiotics. 
 
Grass-Fed Meat is Healthy for the planet. Pasture-based farming restores natural ecosystems and wildlife habitat, and improves the soil with organic matter. 
 
It is Healthy for communities. Small family farms provide jobs and strong economies in rural communities and create sustainable businesses for succeeding generations.

The USDA has developed standards for use of the term grass-fed on meat labels. They state that animals must be fed a diet of grass and forage, but they can be confined and fed supplements, antibiotics, or hormones. The meat can be imported from Argentina, New Zealand, Australia or other countries, so there’s no guarantee that it came from a local or regional family farm. And there’s no verification – anyone can sign an affidavit and use the grass-fed claim.
