grass-fed
Raised on meadows
Grass-fed describes livestock, especially cattle, raised primarily on pasture rather than grain-based feed.
The term appears on meat and dairy labels to signal more natural farming practices: grass-fed beef, grass-fed butter.
Marketing often emphasizes grass-fed products as healthier or more humane, though standards for the label vary.
