Frequently Asked Questions

Grass-Fed and Organic Beef

Yes. “100% grass-fed” means that after being weaned from their mother’s milk, cattle cannot be fed grain or grain by-products. They must be given continuous access to pasture during the growing season and receive a diet derived solely from grasses and forage.

No. These are two different claims. 100% grass-fed: The USDA has established specific regulations for this statement. After weaning from their mother’s milk, cattle cannot be fed any grain or grain by-products; their diet must be derived solely from grasses and forage. Organic: The USDA has established strict production requirements for organic beef. Cattle are raised naturally without antibiotics and added hormones and fed a non-gmo diet*. *produced in compliance with USDA Organic regulations

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service has not defined the claims “pasture raised” and “open range” in their policy guidelines. However, these terms convey that the animals have continuous access to pasture during the growing season, which is consistent with the definition of 100% grass-fed.

Cattle are raised according to strict organic production requirements, including adherence to a diet that excludes genetically modified organisms*, and raised naturally without antibiotics or added hormones. All facilities and processes are overseen by a USDA National Organic Program-authorized certifying agent, following all USDA organic regulations. *produced in compliance with USDA Organic regulations

Cattle that qualify for certified USDA Organic beef programs are raised without antibiotics or added hormones and fed a non-GMO diet.

The USDA strongly encourages cattle producers to maintain consistent preventative health care programs. Ranchers have many tools available to keep their animals healthy and safe, including low-stress handling, veterinary care, and the use of well-established, approved vaccines.  All health practices for Organic cattle are science-based and regulated by the USDA and the National Organic Program.

Recently, some consumers have asked about the use of mRNA vaccines. The mRNA vaccine technology has not been approved by the USDA for use in cattle, and there are no mRNA vaccines available for cattle.
