Whispering Meadows brings you naturally-raised, grass-fed and grain finished beef that is free range and pasture raised with zero antibiotics or artificial hormones. Order online direct from our farm!Whispering Meadows offers you the choice between grass-fed beef and grain-finished beef, for all of our beef ordering options.  So which should you choose?

Before going into the differences between the two, we should note that for both options, grass is the primary source of nutrition for all of our cattle.  The grass-fed animals eat 100% grass forage and nothing else, while our grain-finished cattle are supplemented with non-GMO grains to top off their usual free-range pasture-based diet.

BOTH our grass-fed and grain-finished cattle are raised completely free-range, naturally foraging on pasture grasses.  All of our cattle are raised without antibiotics or artificial hormones, and never confined to pens.  So both types of beef are delicious, healthy, and highly nutritious.

When cattle are grain finished, it helps them to grow faster, and it adds sweetness and marbling to the beef.  This results in a more tender meat and a lighter flavour which many people prefer.

Grassfed beef is generally considered the most natural form of beef, since grass is the food that cattle are naturally built to digest.  Grass-fed animals are generally leaner, which gives their meat a more robust flavour and texture, and needs a bit more care to cook perfectly.  Grassfed beef has been proven to contain higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and the omega-3 fatty acids ALA, EPA, and DHA.
 

Dogs are prey animals that existed in the wild as carnivores eating primarily raw meat and bones. Wild dogs rarely ate grain and that helped them to stay lean and mean. Dogs today are our beloved pets but they are still carnivores and many people believe that they should be fed the same diet that wild dogs once ate. Unfortunately, most commercial pet food is filled with grains and chemicals that experts say may account for the rising rate of skin allergies, gastrointestinal problems and cancer.

Ontario farmers are sitting on a strongly-developing market for food products that could address consumer health concerns and put extra money in their pockets.

It is estimated that the typical plate of food has travelled 2250 kilometres before consumption.

The implications for the production of greenhouse gases in the provision of our food supply are immense, and the possibilities for reduction are considerable.

Making healthy food choices is often less costly than people think.  Cutting out some of the junk foods, and replacing them with high-quality organic grains, vegetables and beef can keep your grocery bills very manageable.

Beef is an excellent source of Coenzyme Q10, which has been shown to help reduce the formation of wrinkles.  It is also believed to reduce blood pressure, lessen the effect of strokes, and help cure cancer.

While Whispering Meadows beef is inherently safe because of our natural health management programs, we want to make extra-sure your family doesn’t face any potential health problems.

Many of the top cuts of beef are much leaner than they were even 20 years ago.  The amount of fat per serving of the leaner cuts of beef is now under a gram more than skinless chicken breast.

Our naturally-raised, grass-fed beef is certainly a healthy choice, but only if you don’t overdo it.  We care about your health, so if you’re following an Atkins diet, please have a look at this article:

If you want to make sure that you’re eating beef with the highest possible nutrient content, then organic certification is not enough.  You need to know that the cattle are fed on grass.
 

Over the course of the past century, medical advice on eating fats has come full-circle.  We now realize that what our ancestors ate naturally is the best diet of all — simply because that’s what our bodies are designed for.

Grass-fed beef is a much healthier choice than feedlot beef, because of the natural nutrients available to the cattle when they are out at pasture.  Those nutrients get passed on to you when you eat their beef.

For an optimum diet that minimises the risk of heart disease and many other potential health problems, it’s important to balance the levels of Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids that we eat.

Most of us get too much Omega 6, and not enough Omega 3.  You can raise your Omega 3 intake by eating foods like freshwater fish and grass-fed beef.
 

Pasture-raised, grass-fed beef is an exceptional source of omega-3s, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).

When you think about it, it just makes sense that the diet of our cattle will affect the nutrient value of their meat.  Giving them natural, healthy feed gives you the assurance that you’re getting the best meat possible.
