We did it again. For the second time this year, John’s finishing herd has yielded us an incredible USDA Prime Beef restock.
We don’t get to shout about it all the time, so forgive us when we do. It’s a big deal for us to hit the premium standard of beef quality on an organic, heart-healthy, grass-fed, grass-finished grazing program. Why?
It’s literally much harder to do.
Grain-fed cattle put on fat easier, but grain is not the kind of food their bodies have evolved to metabolize. They evolved to graze on naturally occurring, nutritious forages.
That’s the kind of grazing program we cultivate here on Elmwood. Rotating the purpose of each field, each year, to either grow crops, graze cattle, or rest and recharge to do a better job of the other tasks next year.
“Prime” is the USDA’s highest quality grade, awarded to only 2% of all beef produced in the United States. Prime beef is superior in taste, tenderness, and juiciness due to the abundant marbling found throughout the meat. Deemed the “holy grail” of beef, it’s often reserved for high-end restaurants, cruise ships, or hotels, making it difficult for the average consumer to find.
