JJD Ranch

There are several different ways to look at beef, and depending on how you categorize it, there are some important differences. One of the ways to categorize beef is on how it was fed when it was raised.

Was it grain-fed?
Was it grain-finished?
Was it grass-finished?
Was it grass-fed?

Do your know what those mean and why they matter?

Most regular beef you purchase in stores is either grain fed or grain-finished. JJD Ranch Beef is grass-fed. And, over time and serving size, it makes a pretty big difference in nutrition. These numbers may seem small, but when you consider that they are for just 1/4 of a pound of ground beef - one standard hamburger worth, these tiny numbers change quickly. For example, the steak in the picture is a 3/4 lb steak.

For ground beef (grass-fed is typically about 15% fat, so we have compared to regular ground beef that is 85/15). These numbers are for 1/4 lb of ground beef:

Protein:
Regular = 21g
Grass-fed = 22g

Fat:
Regular = 17g
Grass-fed = 14g

Omega 3's
Regular = 0.07g
Grass-fed =0.10g

Omega 6's
Regular = 0.01g
Grass-fed = 0.20g

There are some other important differences as well. For more information, we used nutritionvalue.org
