Remember this new acronym-CLA!
It's going to change the way America eats for the better! It's amazing what a difference diet really makes, for cattle and for us. When cattle eat right, beef is incredibly good for you! Read on.

THE CLA ADVANTAGE
International scientific research is demonstrating positive results in:
• Combating Cancer
• Combating Arteriosclerosis (clogged arteries)
• Reducing Body Fat
• Preventing or Delaying the onset of Diabetes
|
Research conducted over the last decade has discovered a naturally occurring substance in beef, conjugated linoleic acid or CLA. In multiple research studies, CLA has been shown to both reduce the incidence of cancer and suppress the growth of existing cancers in laboratory animals.
There are good fats, fats that contain essential nutrients for life and health. In the American diet, beef and milk fat are the best sources for CLA. But studies have also shown that the cattle's diet has a significant impact on the amount of CLA in the meat and dairy products. Not surprisingly, when cattle eat their natural diet, foraging pasture grasses and legumes, CLA levels are 30-40% higher. CLA levels drop dramatically in feed lots where cattle are fed grain and other byproduct feedstuff.
Pastured to Perfection will give you the CLA advantage. Health food stores are beginning to sell CLA supplements, but studies suggest that naturally occurring CLA is metabolized and used differently than synthetic CLA.

OMEGA 3'S
Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid for human growth and development. We must have it to be healthy. Grass-finished beef is a great source for this essential nutrient. We know that Omega 3 is great for individuals with heart disease, and other studies are showing that Omega 3 may also have an anti-carcinogenic effect. The source of Omega 3 is the green leaves of plants. When cattle eat their natural diet, beef becomes a great source of Omega 3. Grain is not a rich source of Omega 3, so standard, cattle-finishing practices cause the Omega 3 level to decrease dramatically. Our grass-finishing protocol produces a great, natural source for Omega 3, Pastured to Perfection. |
REDUCED FAT
Because Pastured to Perfection cattle are raised and finished in their natural environment, eating their natural diet, the meat is much leaner than the beef of standard, grain-finished livestock. Grass-fed beef has a much better fatty acid ration and less total fat than grain-fed animals! The myth is that cattle must be grain-fed to be tender and tasty, but we now know better. Pastured to Perfection is leaner, so you'll need to cook it at lower temperatures. Wait until you sink your teeth into the lean, clean flavor of Pastured to Perfection. You'll find that greasy taste has been replaced by the great beef flavor that you love, AND as an added bonus, it's GREAT for you |
NATURAL, ADDITIVE-FREE BEEF
At Pastured to Perfection we eat what we sell! We are absolutely committed to the highest standards of food quality and safety. No pesticides or herbicides are used on the pastures where our cattle graze. No preservatives or additives are in our products, with the exception of beef franks (box 70) and beef bacon products (boxes 73 & 74), and future improvements in processing will soon eliminate need for sodium nitrite in these two products. No growth implants, feed grade antibiotics or unnecessary antibiotics are given to the animals. Animals are only given antibiotics when necessitated for the treatment of illness. When this occurs the cattle must meet our required withdrawal time prior to processing, which is double that of the industry standard. Cattle graze on a managed rotation, which provides them with consistently fresh forage.
Our cattle and other livestock...
-Are NOT fed any antibiotics or related products
-Are NOT given any form of growth hormones
-Do NOT consume any form of feed that contains animal-by-products
-Do NOT consume any pasture forages on which pesticides or insecticides have been employed |
