Sir Scotty Grassfed Beef - Hormone and
Antibiotic Free
Sir Scotty Grassfed Beef is 99% grassfed (meets
AGA and new USDA guidelines) until the final 30
days. About 30 days prior to harvest, oats and dried molasses are added
to the diet, along with continued free-choice alfalfa and grass
pastures. The addition of oats in the final 30 days provides a bit
of added
fat and marbling to the meat, as well as enhancing the fat flavor and
texture.
We are only adding oats and molasses as a small portion of their finish diet,
rather than 100% of their diet for several months as found in
traditional feedlot beef.
For those who aren't quite ready for the wilder taste of 100%
Grassfed, Sir Scotty Grassfed Beef is the next best thing. Sir
Scotty Grassfed is named for an interesting and entertaining Scottish
butcher who held quite an audience at the last annual American Grassfed
Association conference in Austin, and operates an organic beef farm in the United Kingdom
and all his beeves are finished with the addition of oats and molasses
to their diet for the final
30 days, and it is a tradition of long-standing. Price:
$2.50 a pound carcass
hanging weight, plus processing @ minimum .45 cents per pound.
Deposit required.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"Many people confuse
pasture-raised animal products with organic products. An organic label
does not guarantee that animals spent most of their time on pasture. It
simply means the animals had access to pasture, weren't given antibiotics,
hormonal implants or injections, and their fee d
whether grass, hay or grain was organically certified. These rules allow
organic meat and dairy producers to feed their animals significant amounts
of grain, a proven way to speed their growth and increase milk production.
The more grain in a ruminant's diet, however, the lower the amount of
omega-3s, CLA, vitamin E and beta carotene in their products. . . "
Pasture Perfect,
By Jo
Robinson
There are as well
beef products that claim to be 'Natural' at your local grocery
store these days. Natural would appear to mean that the animal
received no hormone implants or antibiotics. While that's
certainly commendable and desirable, it is in no way a grass fed or
finished beef product with all the accompanying nutritional benefits
gained by 100% grass fed beef that is likewise free of antibiotics and
hormone implants. A steer in a feedlot eating 100% 'natural'
or 'organic' corn will
not result in optimal heart healthy beef.
