Grass fed - Grass finished beef is one of the most nutrient-dense proteins you can buy. Cattle are meant to graze on grass, and that is exactly what the cattle at D&D Farms do! Cattle convert grass into nutrient dense proteins naturally and do not need grains in their diet to survive.

​

It is safe to say that all cattle are grass fed, they eat a forage based diet for the majority of their lives. What sets D&D Farms apart is the fact that our cattle are grass-finished; meaning they only eat a grass/forage based diet their entire life and do not consume grains during any part of their life.

​

According to several case studies grass finished beef is healthier for human consumption compared to grain finished beef!
