BENEFITS OF GRASSFED BEEF
Clear Springs cattle are raised and grown out exclusively on pasture. We breed our cattle to meet consumer demand for natural, wholesome food.
Our 100% grassfed Black Angus are never finished on grain, yield leaner meat (but retain intra-muscular marbling in accordance with the MSA gradings assessed during carcase sampling) with the following health benefits.
