Wyoming Grass Fed Beef

According to legend, Wyoming’s cattle industry started almost accidentally. In the winter of 1852, a sutler near Fort Laramie named Seth Ward left cattle out to graze near what is now Cheyenne. He expected to find carcasses come spring, but was pleasantly surprised by what he did find. The cattle flourished, even though they had no supplemental feed in the harsh winter weather. Other early ranchers had similar results. By the end of the Civil War, the huge demand for beef brought a boom to the Wyoming range.

 

Today, Wyoming is home to 1.32 million cattle. It ranks 24th in state cattle production nationally. Most Wyoming cattle ranchers raise beef conventionally, with the animals spending the last few months of their lives consuming grain in crowded feedlots. However, the demand for grass fed beef, raised humanely and without antibiotics, growth hormones, steroids, or grains, is growing. Regenerative ranching has much in common with the way those mid-19th century cattlemen raised beef. The difference is that cattle out on the range receive supplemental hay in winter.

The Difference Between Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished

If you examine the beef labels at your local supermarket, you may see some cuts labeled as grass-fed, while others are grass-fed AND grass-finished. If you care deeply about how your food is raised, it’s important to know the difference.

 

At Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed, we provide our customers with only grass fed, grass finished Beef. The grass fed beef label pertains to cattle who spent much of their lives grazing, but ended up in a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), better known as a feedlot. Here, cattle are confined in crowded areas and fed grains to boost weight prior to slaughter.

 

Grass fed, grass finished beef consume grass or forage for their entire lives. It takes them longer to reach market weight, which is one reason grass finished beef is more expensive than feedlot beef. The cattle lead natural, low-stress lives, grazing and roaming as they were designed to do. The way they live helps to replenish soils and protect precious water supplies.
