White Oak Pastures Beef Ribeye Steak What is 100% Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished?
100% Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished refers to beef from cattle that have been fed exclusively on grass and forage for their entire lives, without any grain-based feed. This is a management practice emphasizing natural grazing and minimizing the use of feedlots.
This type of beef is often sought after for its potential health benefits, such as higher omega-3 fatty acids and CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) content compared to grain-fed beef. Evidence suggests dietary shifts towards grass-fed options may support better lipid profiles, but results can vary based on the overall diet and lifestyle.
When you see this label, it indicates no exposure to grain feeds, which some consumers favor for environmental and ethical reasons, as it aligns with more natural cattle-raising practices.
Commonly found in: Steaks, Ground Beef, Roasts, Beef Jerky, Sausages
Benefits
- Higher in omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed beef.
- Contains more Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), a type of fat that some studies suggest may have health benefits.
- Often associated with more sustainable and animal-friendly farming practices.
The FDA regulates meat and ensures safety standards are met, but does not specifically regulate grass-fed claims.
Research indicates grass-fed beef is higher in beneficial nutrients like omega-3s, but overall health impacts can be mixed.
This is an animal-derived product and is not aligned with vegan principles.

Scout's take
Nothing but grass and forage from start to finish; grass-finished beef carries a better omega-3 and CLA fatty-acid profile than grain-finished.
