We have been doing this since 1962. Ours is a closed herd, which means that we raise our own calves, bred by our own bull. This way, we are sure of the health of our animals and we are not prone to spread of diseases.
At Westport River Rock Farm our cattle are on pasture from May through November. They have water and shade in every pasture. We use rotational grazing, which helps weed control and allows the pastures to rest and revive between grazings.
WebMD states that grass-fed beef is generally considered to be a healthier option than grain-fed beef. It has less fat and therefore fewer calories. It has up to five times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed beef.
