Grass Fed Beef Education Week

This weeks postings will be about grass fed beef. 
We have grass fed beef for sale.  We tried the hamburgers tonight and they are Tasty!
The meat is very lean and has a great beef flavor.

We've been told that grass fed beef needs to be cooked differently than corn fed beef so we've gotten a few cookbooks and I'll recommend a few of those as well.

First though, what are the benefits of grass fed beef?
You can read the attached article.  So similar to pastured chickens and eggs, high Omega 3's, high levels of CLA and more vitamins.  Interestingly, grass fed beef cooks faster because it has less water in it.  It also retains it's shape and doesn't shrink as much as grain fed cattle.  Also has less calories!!!  I like that!
