What is grass fed beef? Not long ago, all beef was grass-fed, because grass is what cattle eat. At least until factory farming took over and decided to start feeding cattle all sorts of different things that aren't just grass. Silage, which is just leftover corn stalks, sorghum, millet, and other odds and ends that are buried and allowed to ferment are often used to provide cheap and high-caloric alternatives to open fields of grasses nodding in the wind.
Grass fed & finished beef is the opposite of that. Grass fed & finished beef cattle are allowed to browse and feed on the grasses as nature intended. With grass fed cattle comes nutrients that have not been leached out of the feed by fermentation or other processing. The energy goes from the sun to the plants where they are passed on with the nutrients from the soil and freshwater, until cattle eat, digest, and put on all sorts of delicious weight known as beef which is chock-full of vitamins and essential nutrients.
Pre's knows a thing or two about grass fed beef. We've been at the top of the beef game for years. From field to processing and all the way to your table, we consistently source only grass-fed & finished beef that has been raised and finished without the addition of hormones, antibiotics, GMOs or anything else that allows a producer to put an inferior product on your plate and call it dinner.

Grass fed beef is just saturated with all sorts of vitamins and nutrients, most of which are essential to life. Instead of reaching for a bottle of pills the next time you need to supplement your diet and increase your vitamin intake, you should know that a lot of what is in those hard-to-swallow pills comes in fork-sized bites of deliciousness.

Grass fed is not only a more humane choice in ranching, but also better when it comes to ensuring high vitamin content in beef.
Animals that are kept in confined factory farms often face communicable illness due to sanitation, water quality, stress, and even feeding practices that affect the cattles' health and reduce vitamin content. To compensate, they are pumped full of antibiotics just to pass inspection. Fermented feed might be a cheap way to put on the pounds, but it also diminishes nutrients in the cattle themselves. To supplement, factory farming often adds vitamins to feed, but these are often flushed through the animal's system.
Grass fed & finished cattle get their vitamin supplements and omega 3's from grazing in a field all day without a care in the world. Grass fed cattle are properly exercised and live in a low-stress environment, where all they do is graze and grow up to be delicious. Just as they have done for thousands of years.

"Real talk...since my cancer was environmental and not hereditary I am super conscious of what goes into my body, especially protein. Post chemo left my body super low in iron so steak remains in my diet. I found Pre a few months ago and it’s the only meat I buy. Grass-fed, no added hormones and most importantly affordable. Eat better for your body people!"
jaqueline"Your steaks, especially the sirloin, ribeye, and filet mignon are absolutely delicious. Wasn’t sure how these cuts would taste grilled but they taste just as good if not better than cuts I’ve had a top notch steakhouses."
Mario"When our son was diagnosed with a rare medical disorder, it meant that we would have to change our diet as a family. Because his metabolism doesn’t function like a typical person’s, we have to be very careful about what we feed him. One of the changes we made was to use more grass-fed and finished beef in our cooking. We decided to give Pre a try, and we are so happy with the quality and taste of the meat. Buying from Pre gives us peace of mind and we feel confident knowing that we are using a product in the top of its class."
Lindsay"This beef is AMAZING! I'm from Wisconsin so a huge steak lover. This is some of the best beef, I've experienced and I've had beef around the world. It's a must try, and you'll understand what I mean."
Tracy"My husband and I loved having these filets once a week. I sear both sides and "in-between" in a very hot small Lodge cast iron skillet. I use a spatter guard. Then I place the skillet in a 400 degree oven for between 2min. 10-20 seconds. Perfect medium minus filets. My mouth is watering as I write this!!"
Mary M."These steaks and other Pre products have been a staple in our home for over a year now and we continue to be fully satisfied with their consistently good quality and flavor. They are the perfect size, are delicious and easy to cook. Add Pre’s amazing customer service to it and you end up with an exceptional overall product!"
K.G."Best steak I've had in a long time. I love being able to order grass fed beef that is way better than I can find in grocery stores. Really tastes great on the grill . I'm addicted to it now."
Jeff S."First time trying the 10 Pack New York Strips. Oh My! had an unexpectedly warm day and whipped out the grill. Enough said. Delish !!!! Steaks are equally cut making cooking much easier for the desired temp."
