Black Angus Beef

August 16th, 2010

We raise Grass Finished Black Angus Beef.

Angus cattle are two Scottish breeds of cattle, which naturally don’t have horns. Angus is one of the preferred breeds for beef, especially in the United States. The two breeds of Angus cattle are:

Black Angus, which refers to the predominant coloring amongst the original Scottish Aberdeen Angus population. If a color is not specified when referring to Angus cattle, it’s presumed to be black.

Red Angus, a breed resulting from the selection of red individuals from the Angus population, which has always had both red and black individuals.

Health Benefits of Grass Fed Beef

January 23rd, 2012

We love our beef because it tastes delicious, but we’re also happy to tell you that it is 100% natural. It has no preservatives or artificial colors, like the beef you get at some grocery stores, and it is raised humanely, in an outdoor, stress-free environment.

Our beef contains 10 times more beta-carotene than beef not raised on grass and studies have shown that it is important for:
Stimulating the immune system
Maintaining healthy vision, skin and bones

Our grass fed beef contains three times more vitamin E than beef not raised on grass and research reveals that it helps:
Prevent cancer
Prevent cardiovascular disease

Healthy fats the omega-3 fatty acids are present in three times the amount in our beef, and have been shown to:
Reduce blood pressure
Prevent cardiovascular diseases
Maintain healthy brain function
Prevent and slow the growth of many cancers
Prevent arthritis
Prevent and treat depression

Also contains three times more CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, which is another of the healthy fats and has been shown to be good at:
Lowering LDL cholesterol (the so-called bad cholesterol)
Lowering the risk of diabetes
Lowering the risk of heart disease
Lower the risk of many cancer

On the other hand is tougher to grow and much more expensive to produce but not like industrially raised cattle, it really is rich in nutritional quality. This is accomplished from the mixture of high-protein low starch diet, every day exercise and clean water. With regards to vitamins and minerals, grassfed beef is far more superior. Grass-fed beef has a large number values of omega-3, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (a proven cancer fighter), Vitamins A and E, branch chain amino acids, as well as antioxidants.

Health conscious people adhering to certain diets just like the Paleo or perhaps the Caveman diet as an example, favor grass-fed beef due to the health and nutritional advantages. Those who find themselves planning to shed weight can benefit from eating grass fed beef too.

To this point the only problem with grassfed beef and the one thing that’s keeping people from getting is the price. It’s kind of pricier as compared with your normal beef. As well depending on your region, you may find it a bit difficult to purchase them. But if this is the problem, you can purchase from online shops.

As our local Farmers Markets are coming to an end for the season, we would like to remind you to stock your freezer for the winter!

Grass Fed Beef Nutrient-Rich

January 21st, 2012

Beef DinnerCalorie-for-calorie, grass fed beef is one of the most nutrient-rich foods to fuel an active and healthy lifestyle. A 3-ounce serving of lean beef contributes less than10 percent of calories to a 2,000-calorie diet, yet it’s an excellent source of protein, zinc, vitamin B12, selenium and phosphorus; and a good source of choline, niacin, vitamin B6, iron and riboflavin.

Butcher or Supermarket?

January 21st, 2012

Support Your Local ButcherMost butcher shops are independently owned, usually family run and passed through the generations. They take pride in their work and are the professionals in the meat industry. The local butcher can supply retail meat with added value, they know their customers, and best of all they know their meat. Sometimes you would wonder why people make a separate trip just to buy meat when all the foods we need are housed in giant supermarkets. The simple answer comes down to the quality and service that we receive from the independent butcher.

In our busy lives it’s great to get that personal contact that comes from talking with the butcher. Today it is all in the news about organic foods and sure we read labels, count calories and check ingredients and when we can most go for the healthier option. The problem is that the meat department is only one section of the supermarket, there is always a mass of people searching for specials and deals and the personal advice and touch is lost…like any of the ‘box’ stores.

Always buy local. Lately butchers have purchased small holdings and gone a step further and now rear their own herds. The quality is better, the service is better and bottom line the end product tastes nicer from the local butcher, so take that extra trip to Broadway Farms, it will be appreciated back at the dinner table, we guarantee it.

August 22nd, 2010
