grass fed
Raised on forage
Grass fed describes livestock, especially cattle, raised on a diet of grass and forage rather than grain-based feed.
The term appears most often on meat and dairy labels to signal farming practices some consumers prefer: grass fed beef, grass fed butter.
Also spelled grass-fed.
