Grass-fed Beef |
|
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth… Psalm 104:14 |
Hobbs Hereford FarmWe raise all natural, grass fed Polled Herefords. These are purebred, line-bred, registered cattle with top genetics. They come from our pastures to your dinner table via our local trustworthy USDA certified locker services, aged to perfection, and cut to your specifications. We are certified as a Minnesota Quality Beef Producer, with 30 years in the business. We take pride in our product from start to finish, and we look forward to serving your needs.
Beyond Organic (Safe) We use no hormones, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, antibiotics, commercial fertilizers, animal byproduct feeds or vaccinations on our farm. We do use all natural vitamins, minerals and sea salt to supplement an all natural diet of grass and hay.
Heart Healthy (Researched) Our grass fed beef has two to four times more ‘good fats’ (Omega 3’s) and less ‘bad fats’ than grain fed animals. It is one of the richest known sources of ‘conjugated linoleic acid’ (CLA -a good fat), and richer in vitamin E and other nutrients and antioxidants. These good fats are known to help in the control of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and aging. Our cattle do not know what grain is. They eat a mix of rich pasture grasses exclusively in the summer. In the winter they are fed a mix of 25% cured (dried) hay and 75% vacuum ensiled (sealed, high moisture, green / ‘fresh’) hay that retains a significant portion of the omega-3 fatty acids normally lost in dry hay / forages.* Thus, our cattle continue to gain and be rich in omega-3’s all year round. They fatten up naturally, and run under the sun and sleep under the stars 365 days a year. They are healthy, happy and relaxed. We sometimes marvel at their health and stamina, and all we do is meet their nutritional needs, talk to them and stay out of their way. Of course, watching Herefords on green grass has always been healthy, relaxing and made us happy, too! *Allan Nation, The Stockman GrassFarmer, January 2010, Volume 10, #1, p. 24.
