ARE YOUR CATTLE 100% GRASS FED?
No. As calves the cattle are fed conventionally with a light barley ration but fattened and finished for the last several months on grasses & hay. The cattle in this program live the majority of their lives on pasture.
DO THE CATTLE RECEIVE ANY ADDED GROWTH HORMONES OR ANTIBIOTICS?
No. Everything we offer you is free of added growth hormones or unneeded antibiotics, however we do treat everything that is in pain or discomfort and will not leave an animal to suffer on account of keeping our herd antibiotic -free. Anything that needs treatment will be moved out of our direct marketing program and will enter one of our other herds.
WHERE CAN I BUY ROUTE 304 PASTURE-RAISED BEEF?
Route 304 beef is located near Linden, Alberta. We sell our premium beef right off the farm through our tiny self-serve farm store as well as through our website. We offer doorstep delivery across Alberta!
IS PASTURE RAISED BEEF A HEALTHIER OPTION?
Route 304 beef is considered healthier then traditional conventionally raised beef from the store as it is less fatty due to more grass then grain in their diet. Pasture raised beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, B, thiamine, calcium. magnesium, and potassium as well as omega-3s. There are many benefits to consuming pasture raised meats.
IS THE MEAT GOVERNMENT INSPECTED?
Yes. Everything we sell was processed at a licensed and inspected facility with high standards in all the areas that are so important to us!
