Grass Fed / Grass Finished

Grass fed / grass finished beef has less fat, more omega 3 heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, more conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that's thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risks and more antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E. Kentucky Steaks provides Grass-fed Beef to the your table without the use of any antibiotics, growth hormones or steroids. Kentucky Steaks are all grass finished, meaning our cows have eaten grass their whole lives. The health benefits you hear about from grass fed beef come form cows that are grass fed and grass finished. 

The term "grass fed" has become overused in the beef industry lately. The growing popularity of the term has been abused by savy marketers and is at times now meaningless. 

Grass finished beef is what you are really looking for. It means the animal has reached physical maturity and was kept on grass while developing exterior and intramuscular fat. No grain is ever fed to grass finished animals and this process will typically take from 24-36 months (compared to the 18-20 months for feedlot cattle). This is the reason true grass finished beef will cost more than feedlot beef or grass fed / grain finished beef. It is also why grass finished has superior health benefits and eating experience. At Kentucky Steaks all of our cows are grass finished.
