What Does Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Beef Mean?

Mar 08, 23

What Does Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Beef Mean?

We've been wondering if.. perhaps you're curious what grass-fed and grass-finished really even means? 

Few beef processors in the country offer this rare and nutritious type of meat.

Grab your morning coffee and lets dive in! to why you'd go with us over the local grocer's products! 

For starters, our meat is locally sourced on Texas land outside DFW. This alone separates us from 90% of meat in the market as ours is not shipped from outside states or countries where produce practices are questionable at best and downright unacceptable at worst.

Even if you don’t go with us, understand the source of your meat. 

Next, our beef is grass-fed, a buzzy phrase these days, but let’s dive in a little deeper.

Our cattle eats grass, not soy-based grain, from birth to processing.

Why is this important?

Grass-fed cows are inherently leaner, healthier and carry lessened levels of fat. On the flip side, they carry more omega-3s, vitamins and minerals. This creates a “total package” of nutritional meat.

Still with us? If so, you're about to get to the best part!

Lastly, our beef is grass-finished. This is the real differentiator as other options in Texas offer local and grass-fed beef.

This is where we come in as finishing your cattle with grass is the tricky part. 

By putting in extra effort in preparation for the Winter, we provide our cattle with a grass-based finish to their diet when the vast majority of grass-fed producers will not, due to higher costs. 

The competition’s cattle likely eats a soy-based feed during these cooler months. However, due to USDA rules, the products are classified as grass-fed because they consumed grass for most of the year. In these situations, there is no distinction between grass-fed cattle and meat reared on grain. 

Look for the "grass-finished" label if you want meat that came from a cow that was grown solely on grass. In the summer, these animals feed on grass, while in the winter, they graze on alfalfa.

With Born & Raised, you are getting the highest level beef product available to you in Texas, a claim we feel confident making.

Have a question? Just reply to this email! Our founder, Colton Garrett, will reply directly to any inquiries you may have!

Happy (early) Labor Day Weekend! 

Need a quick refresher why you'd go with Born & Raised over the local supermarket for the upcoming Labor Day festivities? 

Our products are locally sourced on our North East Texas land. 

Our meat is not shipped from outside states or countries. 

Our beef is grass-fed, a buzzy phrase these days, but let’s dive in a little deeper.

Our cattle eat grass, not soy-based grain, from birth to processing.

Why is this important?

Grass-fed cows are inherently leaner, healthier, and carry higher levels of healthy omega 3 fats.

This also means higher vitamin and mineral content in the meat. 

This creates a “total package” of nutrition for anyone looking to get healthier. 

Lastly, our beef is grass-finished.

This is our biggest differentiator as other options in Texas may offer local or grass-fed beef. But few, if any, finish their cows on grass. 

Please reply if you have any questions or would like further detail! 

Enjoy your weekend and be sure to visit our booth at the Frisco Fresh Market!

Frisco Texas Moms! Shop Born & Raised TX For The Best Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Local Beef and Steak in Frisco and McKinney, TX

Calling all moms!

Navigating the health landscape can be a chore, especially when raising children. 

Now that they're back in school, let's make it easy for you to ensure proper nutrition and natural protein in the tastiest way possible! (free local shipping doesn't hurt either)

Picture it with us... Tuesday night, you don't want to order out AGAIN (too expensive/unhealthy) but also don't want a messy and complicated home-cooked meal, either. 

Time to heat up that cast iron or perhaps fire up the grill because our beef really only needs salt, pepper, maybe some oil?

10 minutes later... 

And you're done!

Grass-fed and grass-finished ground beef for the kids' tacos? Check.

A couple of grass-fed and grass-finished NY strips for you and the spouse w/some red wine? Check. 

Make the switch from grain-fed, imported animal by-products to our local, grass-fed and grass-finished beef, sourced right here in North Texas! 

We value your support and are proud to be your local farm. 

Also, please visit our booth at the Frisco Fresh Market off Main Street west of the soccer stadium. We operate there Saturdays and Sundays until 4 p.m. and offer in-person specials. 

See you there!

Colton's Cookbook: The Perfect Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Burger

Feb 12, 23

Colton's Cookbook: The Perfect Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Burger

Welcome to our first iteration of Colton’s Cookbook!

We're going to start the series with an American classic... the burger. 

Before we begin, snag some of that fresh grass-fed and -finished ground beef (15% off). 

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Born & Raised Grass-Fed Ground Beef
  • ½ cup crushed crackers or bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, crackers or bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Mix together lightly until well mixed. The more you handle the meat the tougher the mix the more the fibers in the meat work and more likely to toughen up.
  2. Divide the meat mixture into ⅓ pound portions or if wanting thinner burgers for double meat burgers, take ⅓ pound portions and divide into 2 patties.
  3. Softly shape into patties a little larger than the buns you plan to use and then use your thumb or the backside of a spoon to make a small indention in the center of the patty to keep them from puffing up.
  4. Preheat your grill or stove to medium to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill or sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side if doing ⅓ pound burgers or about 2 minutes per side if doing thin patties.
  6. If making cheeseburgers, you can add the cheese about a minute before they are done or as soon as you take them off the grill or stove.

And that's it! Not too bad, right?
