Ethically sourced meat from select regions in New Zealand and Australia and parts of the United States.

Mitchell grass, Flinders grass, clover, rye and alfalfa. Variety is key for a healthy diet.

Pasture raised has more to do with environment than diet. Cattle are not confined and are free to graze on open pasture. At a minimum, USDA requires that pasture raised animals must have continuous access to the outdoors for 120 days per year. At Pre, cattle are raised outdoors on pasture for their lifespan.

Pasture raised beef has more to do with environment than diet. Cattle are not confined and are free to graze on open pasture. At a minimum, to label your beef "Pasture Raised" USDA requires that pasture raised animals must have continuous access to the outdoors for 120 days per year. At Pre, cattle are raised outdoors on pasture year-round for their lifespan.

We only use Angus and Hereford, the two most tender breeds.

All our supply is guaranteed non-GMO through third-party audits in Australia and New Zealand, and specific areas of the United States.

Our beef is wet aged and shipped in the subprimal form by sea freight which has a lower carbon footprint than other methods of transport such as air, rail or motor vehicle. All our beef is cut, trimmed or ground in Chicago.

We have looked at organic beef to source in the past. While we really appreciate organic food in many other categories, in our experience, most of the organic beef we tasted wasn’t great, and it certainly wasn’t consistent. We also found out that being labeled organic doesn’t mean or guarantee that the product is pasture raised beef. You can feed animals organic corn and grain, and still label the meat organic.
 
Because of this, we decided to go a different route and find the best grass-fed, grass-finished and pasture raised beef we could find, providing both a consistent, delicious beef eating experience, and the health benefits that we believe people want.
 
We identified the best regions in the world that grow the healthiest, most nutrient dense grass year-round, resulting in great tasting, better for you, premium fresh beef. The health benefits of grass fed and finished Pre^® beef are that it is lower in fat and calories than grain fed beef, with no added antibiotics or growth hormones, and sourced from humanely treated cattle.

At Pre, we believe in controlled and safe use of antibiotics when animals are in need. We source from cattle raised in New Zealand and Australia, and parts of the United States where the climate is ideal all year, allowing for fresh, green pastures at all times. Because the cattle are raised in great conditions, sickness and preventative antibiotics are not needed. However, if an animal does get sick, a veterinarian will administer antibiotics and remove the animal from the rest of the herd. When the tested amount of time has gone by and the antibiotics are out of the animal’s system, the animal is let back in the herd. Read more about no sub-therapeutic antibiotic use here.

There are absolutely no added hormones to our products. While cattle naturally have hormones (like all living beings), we never use added hormones to promote rapid growth.
