Why Choose Grass-Fed Beef?
Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef
Grass-fed beef is not only flavorful but also nutritionally superior to grain-fed options. Some of its key health benefits include:
-
Higher Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Grass-fed beef contains significantly more omega-3s, which are known to support heart and brain health.
-
Rich in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – CLA is a type of fat that may aid in weight management and reduce inflammation.
-
Packed with Vitamins and Minerals – Grass-fed beef has more vitamin A, vitamin E, and antioxidants compared to conventional beef.
-
Lower in Total Fat – The leaner profile of grass-fed beef makes it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
Environmental Impact
Choosing grass-fed beef helps promote sustainable farming practices. Grazing cattle on pasture contributes to:
-
Healthier Soil – Natural grazing promotes better soil aeration and reduces erosion.
-
Lower Carbon Footprint – Grass-fed beef has a significantly lower environmental impact compared to grain-fed, feedlot-raised beef.
-
Biodiversity Preservation – Well-managed pastures encourage plant and animal diversity, supporting the local ecosystem.
Animal Welfare & Ethical Ranching
Unlike conventional feedlot systems, grass-fed cattle live a stress-free life on open pastures. At Keystone Natural Beef, we ensure that our cattle:
-
Are raised without hormones or antibiotics
-
Graze freely on open pasture, eating a natural diet
-
Experience low-stress handling for optimal well-being
These ethical practices result in higher-quality meat with better taste, texture, and nutritional value.
Keystone Natural Beef: A Legacy of Quality
A Rich Ranching Heritage
Keystone Natural Beef is built on a century-old ranching tradition. Billy Buchanan, a fifth-generation Oregon rancher, continues his family's commitment to ethical and sustainable cattle raising.
His great-great-grandfather, John Hagelstein, first registered the Keystone brand in the early 1900s, establishing a legacy of high-quality, responsibly raised beef.
Billy grew up in Klamath County, learning the values of respect for the land, the animals, and the community. Today, he applies these principles at Keystone Natural Beef, ensuring the best practices in grass-fed beef production.
Commitment to Sustainable Ranching
At Keystone Natural Beef, we focus on doing grass-fed and finished beef the right way. This includes:
-
Carefully managed pasture to prevent overgrazing and maintain soil health.
-
Superior genetics and diet to ensure meat that is tender, flavorful, and nutrient-dense.
-
A strict no-hormone, no-unnecessary-antibiotics policy, guaranteeing a pure, natural product.
Animal Welfare: A Cattle-First Philosophy
We prioritize humane ranching practices. Our cattle roam freely, enjoying fresh grass, clean water, and a stress-free environment.
This pasture-raised approach leads to higher-quality beef while ensuring ethical animal treatment.
