Review of Rocking B Ranch by TexasRealFood
The key to having high-quality animal products is to have high-quality pasture. If you want to buy organic meat, visit Rocking B. Ranch owned by Branson family! It is a 320-acre working ranch located in a beautiful place of Mason and Menard, in the heart of the texas hill country. The Rocking B. Ranch is a grass-fed livestock operation. They raise Boer crossbred goats, Angus cross, and Devon cattle. According to tot he farmers, their animals are healthy due to non-confinement and non-artificial growth. They are free of pesticides. Then encourage grass-fed and organic beef as it is better than the usual feedlot beef. Furthermore, it has less fat, less cholesterol, and fewer calories. Also, grass-fed beef has more vitamin E, more beta-carotene, and more vitamin C!
The term “grass fed” (as opposed to grain fed) refers to meat obtained from cows that were raised on a diet of grass and other forage, such as clover; situated in pasture and, when fresh grass is unavailable, hay. This helps to denote the difference between livestock that has been raised in feedlots and generally fed a diet of soy and corn, versus animals that have had access to their natural feeding environment in pasture, which contains grasses, wildflowers, and herbs. This term overlaps with “pasture-raised” and will usually be seen together. Grass-fed beef is also believed to taste better, and be better for the environment, too. There are several organizations that offer a certification for Grass Fed, such as the American Grassfed Association, Certified Grassfed by A Greener World, and Pasture for Life, to name a few.
Some of the businesses listed in our directory will be using the same principles as Certified Naturally Grown farmers, but without the certification. Certifications can often be expensive and time consuming for most farmers to participate in, and therefore we feel it is important to acknowledge those who practice good land stewardship, without certification.
