No hormones No Antibiotics has ever touched our meat. Roman-McCarthy Meats offers the highest quality Grass Fed Beef and Beefalo available.The USDA established a standard definition for the "grass fed" claim which requires continuous access to pasture and prevents animals from being fed grain or grain-based products. In lay mince terms no added antibiotics, hormones, or any other unneeded preserva
tives. We pride our selves on offering nothing but the best. Most grass-fed cattle are leaner than feedlot beef, lacking marbling, which lowers the fat content and caloric level of the meat. Meat from grass-fed cattle also have higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and the omega-3 fatty acids ALA, EPA, and DHA. Your probably asking yourself whats a Beefalo? Beefalo is a cross between domestic cattle and the North American Bison. A full blood Beefalo does not contain less than 3/8 Bison. While it is as tender and tasty as beef, Beefalo offers many benefits for the health-conscious consumer. Beefalo produces a carcass that contains less fat and cholesterol than any bovine bred in the U.S. The exceptional quality of the Beefalo meat has been recognized by the USDA. Why Beefalo? Fact #1 Cholesterol can not be significantley reduced by just lowering the fat in meat. Cholesterol is in the meat, not just the fat. Although Beefalo is up to 4 times leaner than beef and also has 1/2 the fat inside the cells as beef, the real cholesterol lowering aspect of this wonderful meat is that it is crossed with bison. Fact #2 Bison, is itself very low in cholesterol, but when crossed with a beef animal, drops to nearly 1/2 of that of bison, according the the USDA. This may be due to the heterosis, which is huge between the two species. Fact #3 Bison has a study done at the University of Utah, that showed that it did not raise LDL in people, whereas beef did. That is impressive, but Beefalo also has a study done at Central Washington University that showed that it actually lowered LDL in high cholesterol men by 15 points in just 30 days. This was further impressive when you realize that the men were still dropping at the end of the 30 day trial. One wonders just how far they would have dropped?
