ABOUT OUR CATTLE
We began raising grass-fed
beef to fill a local need for beef raised naturally; roving cattle with
grass underfoot, access to fresh water and completely 100% grass-fed
with no antibiotics or hormones.
At the onset of our
endeavor as a newly formed cattle company we knew that we wanted to
choose and market a specific breed of cattle. We did our homework and
visited many farms with cattle known for it’s grass-fed genetics. We
taste tested each of these breeds and found that nothing came close to
the quality and taste of those with the Devon and Braunvieh genetics.

Beef produced by Bay Haven Farm is 100% grass-fed natural beef. No
feed lots, not corn finished, no antibiotics and no hormones. Beef
raised this way, in a comfortable, humane and stress free environment with a diet natural to cattle is not only beneficial to the animal; but
also proves to be beneficial in the meat that is produced by these
animals. Our cattle live good, happy lives on large grass fields
free to roam and graze freely.
BENEFITS OF GRASS-FED BEEF
There are many proven benefits to 100% grass-fed beef. Grass Fed Beef is:
✓lower
in total fat than grain fed beef. Grass fed meat has about the same
amount of fat as skinless chicken. When meat is this lean, it actually
lowers your LDL cholesterol levels.
✓low
in "bad" fat (including saturated fat), it gives you from two to six
times more of the "good" fat called "omega-3 fatty acids." People with
plenty of omega-3s in their diet are less likely to have high blood
pressure and are also known for the significant contribution they make
to brain health. (depression, ADD, & Alzheimer’s for example)
Another benefit of omega-3’s is that it may reduce your risk of cancer.
✓The reason
that grass-fed cattle have more omega-3s than grain fed cattle is that
omega-3s are formed in the green leaves of plants. Sixty percent of the
fat content of grass is a type of omega-3 fatty acid called
alpha-linolenic (LNA). When cattle do not have access to grass, even if
they were started on grass they lose their stores of LNA as well as two
other types of omega-3’s.
✓Studies show that an animal raised humanely and processed humanely (not under stressful conditions) tastes better.
A WORD TO THE CONSUMER
Be
wary of beef marketed as grass-fed. This is clever marketing and may
only mean that the cattle had access to grass during it’s lifetime. It
can mean that the cattle was finished in a feed lot or grain finished.
