Health Benefits of Grass-fed Beef & Grass-fed Lamb Bones

Cooking with Grass-fed Beef And Grass-fed Lamb Bones

Most people prefer their cuts of beef and lamb boned – that is, no bones. Some think that bones just get in the way or they cheapen a steak or roast. While this may be true from an appeal standpoint, it isn’t from a health standpoint. Any meat cooked with the bone-in will provide additional health benefits – as long as the beef or lamb was raised “right”. To be “raised right”, the beef or lamb is grass-fed with no antibiotics, no growth hormones, and no grain.

Bones from beeves or lambs that consume a diet rich in plants, house a variety of powerful nutrients that are released when simmered slowly for a few hours. A slowly cooked roast with the bone intact is an excellent choice. Another option is to slowly cook the bones to make a broth and use it in a variety of dishes: stews, soups, rice, etc. Bones that have been cut so the bone marrow is easily released help provide the raw materials for healthy blood cells and immune development.*

Bone marrow broth provides the nutritional synergy to calm an overactive immune system while supplying the body with raw materials to rebuild stronger and healthier cells. This is why it is such a great healing food to have when the body is encountering stress from bacterial or viral infections as well as digestive disorders and leaky gut syndrome.

Beef and lamb provided by BF Farms, LLC are raised on a 100% grass and plant diet. They are never given growth hormones or antibiotics and are processed with bones cut so the marrow is released. *

Have you seen the way a dog attacks a bone? They seem to know where the good stuff is!

Grass-fed vs. Grain-fed

We are passionate about providing meat that comes only from 100% grass-fed lamb & grass-fed beef and have not been given growth hormones or antibiotics.

For documentation on the benefits of grass-fed meat, see the resources below. We also recommend that you do your own research as well.

“Grass-fed beef typically comes from cattle that eat only grass and other foraged foods throughout their lives. Grass-fed beef may have some heart-health benefits that other types of beef don’t have. When compared with other types of beef and lamb, grass-fed may have:
*Less total fat
*More heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
* More conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that’s thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risks.
* More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E”
www.MayoClinic.org

“A benefit of omega-3s is that they may reduce your risk of cancer. In animal studies, these essential fats have slowed the growth of a wide array of cancers and also kept them from spreading. Omega-3s are most abundant in seafood and certain nuts and seeds such as flaxseeds and walnuts, but they are also found in animals raised on pasture. The reason is simple. Omega-3s are formed in the chloroplasts of green leaves and algae. Sixty percent of the fatty acids in grass are omega-3s.”
J. Animal Sci 80(5): 1202-11

In addition, the grass-fed lambs and grass-fed beefs on BF Farms, LLC are born there and live their entire lives on one farm. They are not exposed to the unknowns of travel, the auction barn, and other farmers who may not be as concerned about the health of each lamb and beef..
When it’s time for your beef or lamb to be processed, you have complete assurance that the processor will never comingle your lamb or beef with animals raised on other farms.
