Nutrient density varies widely on beef across the spectrum of management systems from feedlot systems to “grass fed”. However, according to research the gold-standard is cows, grazing, diverse pastures from birth until processing. That means not just grazing grass but forbs like plantain, chicory, brassicas like radish and turnips, legumes such as clover and vetch. Each of these things has a unique ability to grab hold of nutrients and minerals and bring them to the cow. Additionally, they each play a function in soil health, which in-turn makes the nutrients more available to the plant and creates better growing conditions which allow the plants to thrive. And of course, when the plants thrive, the cows thrive. So in this video, you might see some cows grazing a field, but we see an opportunity to do better and we are taking it!
