Grass-finished beef comes from cattle that have only eaten grass and forage for their entire lives. Grass-fed beef, on the other hand, may be used to label meat from cattle that were started on a grass diet but have either received supplemental grain feed or are finished on a fully grain-based diet. Grass-finished beef is also known as pasture-raised beef.

Here are some key differences between grass-fed and grass-finished beef:

• Grass-finished beef comes from cattle that have only eaten grass and forage for their entire lives, while grass-fed beef may have received supplemental grain feed or been finished on a fully grain-based diet.
• Grass-finished beef is 100% grass-fed, while grass-fed beef may not be.
• Grass-finished beef is more nutritious than grain-finished beef, with higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA’s, and Vitamins A and E.
• Grass-finished beef is more expensive than grain-finished beef.

Grass-finished beef is a sustainable and ethical way to consume beef and counter the harms of industrial agriculture. It is also a healthier option, with higher levels of beneficial nutrients.
