Grass is the natural food for cattle, and they are healthiest when you consume it. Grass fed beef has 2 to 10 times more omega-3 fatty acids than grain fed beef. It also has more CLA (conjugated Linoleic acid), more vitamin E, more carotenoids, more B vitamins, more CoQ10, and more Zinc than grain fed beef.
