grass-fed beef
Cattle from pastures
Grass-fed beef comes from cattle raised primarily on pasture rather than grain-based feed in feedlots.
The distinction matters to consumers concerned with animal welfare, environmental impact, or taste—grass-fed beef tends to be leaner with a more pronounced flavor.
Marketing claims vary widely; some cattle are "grass-fed" but grain-finished before slaughter.
