Just like grass-finished beef, grain-finished cattle start by feeding exclusively on grass. This diet continues until they\u2019re around 4-6 months from reaching their target market weight, at which point they\u2019re transitioned to a nutrient-rich grain-based diet while they \u201cfinish\u201d growing, which is why the process is called \u201cgrain-finished.\u201d This beef is more affordable, goes to market three times faster, and features a fat content that enhances flavor and tenderness.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;width: 10% !important;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;width: 30% !important;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grain-finished_grass-fed.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Green circular graphic that says %22Exclusively Fed-Grass%22 on it.&#8221; title_text=&#8221;grain-finished_grass-fed&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Grass-Finished Beef:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Lower in total fat \u2013 including monounsaturated fat \u2013 and calories<\/li>\n<li>More nutrient-rich beef, specifically in vitamins A and E and Omega-3s<\/li>\n<li>Contains twice as much of the healthy fatty acid conjugated linoleic acid<\/li>\n<li>Leaner texture and gamey flavor<\/li>\n<li>Takes three times longer to go to market, creating a strain on the environment and increasing cost<\/li>\n<li>Its low-fat content makes it easier to overcook and tougher to eat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;width: 30% !important;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/grain-finished.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Green circular graphic that says Nutrient-Rich Grain-Based Diet.
