The Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef from a Small Family Farm
When it comes to choosing high-quality beef, grass-fed beef from a small family farm offers numerous benefits for both your health and the environment. At Crown H Cattle Company, located in the heart of Siskiyou County, in the scenic Scott Valley near Etna, CA, we pride ourselves on raising grass-fed Belted Galloway cattle in an environment that’s as natural as possible. Our commitment to sustainable practices and the well-being of our cattle is reflected in the exceptional taste and health benefits of our locally raised beef.
Here’s why choosing grass-fed beef from a family-run farm like ours is a smart decision for you and your family.
Healthier Beef for You and Your Family
One of the top reasons to choose grass-fed beef is its numerous health benefits. Unlike grain-fed cattle, which are often raised on an unnatural diet that can lead to higher fat content and lower nutritional value, grass-fed beef is leaner and packed with essential nutrients.
Our Belted Galloway cattle, raised in Scott Valley and fed only the natural grasses and forages of the region, produce beef that is higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, antioxidants, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). These nutrients have been linked to various health benefits, including improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immunity. Grass-fed beef is also lower in total fat and saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy choice for you and your family.
Sustainability and Ethical Practices
Buying grass-fed beef from a small family farm means you’re supporting sustainable farming practices that prioritize animal welfare and environmental stewardship. At Crown H Cattle Company, located in the beautiful Siskiyou County, we raise our cattle with respect and care. Our cattle roam freely on lush pastures, eating a natural diet without the use of growth hormones or antibiotics. This results in a healthier, happier animal and a higher quality product.
By purchasing locally raised beef from us, you’re also supporting ethical farming practices that contribute to the preservation of our rural communities in Etna, CA and Scott Valley. Small farms like ours help maintain the beauty of the landscape and promote sustainable land management practices that protect the environment for future generations.
Better Flavor and Texture
The taste and texture of grass-fed beef is another significant advantage. Beef from small farms like ours has a distinct, rich flavor and tender texture that’s different from the grain-fed beef commonly found in supermarkets. The natural diet of our cattle—grass and forages—leads to a more complex and nuanced taste, which many people find more enjoyable than the often fattier, bland flavor of conventionally raised beef.
Our Belted Galloway cattle are raised with a focus on flavor, and their natural diet contributes to the beef's superior taste and tenderness. Whether you’re grilling a steak or cooking a roast, the flavor of our grass-fed beef will elevate any meal.
Supporting Local Farms and Communities
When you buy grass-fed beef from a family-run farm like ours, you’re doing more than just supporting a business—you’re helping sustain the local economy. At Crown H Cattle Company, based in Etna, CA, we are proud to be part of the Scott Valley community.
