What Makes Antibiotic and Hormone Free Beef Better for You
Our antibiotic and hormone free beef is the result of thoughtful, responsible farming practices that prioritize animal well-being and your health. Here’s why antibiotic and hormone free meat is tastier and better for you:
- Supports Hormone Balance
Studies show that trace antibiotic and hormone residues can remain in meat even after withdrawal periods. Among other things, these residues have been linked to hormone imbalances and antibiotic resistance in consumers. - Lower Inflammation
Our cattle graze on fresh pasture and feed on some non-GMO grain. This leads to a better fat profile that includes more omega-3s and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)—a natural fat known to reduce our body’s inflammation and help protect against chronic disease. - Better Digestion
Our hormone and antibiotic free beef supports a more robust microbiome and is easier for the body to process. By avoiding unnecessary chemicals, our beef reduces the risk of gut irritation and promotes better overall digestion. - Immune Support
Beef raised in a natural, stress-free environments contains higher levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, and glutathione—all key players in immune function. These nutrients help your body fight infection, reduce oxidative stress, and support long-term resilience. - Richer Flavor
Flavor is a sign of how the animal was raised. Our careful combination of pasture-raising and clean grain-finishing enhances marbling, tenderness, and depth of flavor. Most grass-finished beef grades lower on the marbling scale as USDA Select. Our approach allows our meat to reach USDA Choice-level marbling. This creates a juicier, more tender bite and boosts levels of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which are essential for everything from vision to bone strength.

How We Ensure Hormone and Antibiotic Free Meat
Raising hormone and antibiotic free meat requires thoughtful care at every step. From clean feed to low-stress living conditions, our process is designed to support animal well-being and produce better, tastier hormone and antibiotic free meat.
- Natural Growth
In many feedlots, livestock are routinely given antibiotics and growth hormones to preempt illness and boost production speed. While these tools may increase output, they can compromise both animal welfare and the long-term safety of the meat. We rely on clean, wholesome environments and thoughtful animal care to raise healthy livestock. - Natural Immunity
Rather than masking physical wellness issues with medication, we focus on strengthening the animal’s natural immune defenses. This includes providing clean water, spacious pastures, and nutrient-dense diets delivering in high quality hormone and antibiotic free meat. - Clean Feed
What goes into the animal matters. Our antibiotic and hormone free beef comes from cattle raised in native environments with clean, non-GMO feed. This directly impacts the purity and flavor of the meat. - Stress-Free Environments
Stress weakens the immune system and affects meat quality. Our animals roam on open pasture, interact naturally, and live without confinement. This low-stress lifestyle supports overall vitality and results in beef that’s consistently tender, richly flavored, and wholesome. - Slow, Sustainable Growth
Rather than forcing rapid weight gain, we allow our animals to grow at their own pace. This slower process leads to better muscle development, improved marbling, and antibiotic and hormone free meat that is naturally richer in nutrients.
