Online Meat Store Retailers and the Natural Beef Trend

Buying steaks at an online meat store gives you easy access to pasture raised beef. Individuals who purchase pasture raised beef frequently remark on its distinctly rich, earthy, beefy taste. They also note the absence of the fatty, greasy taste which you usually get from livestock fattened with feed-lot corn. Because the cattle graze on a wide range of grasses and forage, the meat has a memorable flavor – which differs from grain-finished product that depends on fatty marbling for taste.

Pasture raised beef is much healthier than normal food-store beef because it is lower in fat-laden calories and carries larger concentrations of beneficial vitamins. Beef from cattle raised on grain includes a great deal of intramuscular fat. This high lipid content translates into increased calorie content. Pasture raised cattle brought up on natural vegetation contains reduced levels of fat and is a good deal, leaner. Oddly, buying beef online provides easier access to pasture raised meat as opposed to local food stores or butchers.

Essential nutrients such as Omega-3 acids, Vitamin E, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Beta Carotene, are some of the beneficial compounds found in higher levels in grass-fed beef.  They are beneficial to good heart function, a robust immune system, healthy skin, and better eyesight. It is a much better option for long term health than the factory farmed alternatives.

There are quite a few small production ranchers who raise and process the cattle themselves and mail-order the product direct to your door. Because of this, some of these ranchers can guarantee the source, care, feeding, and treatment of all their animals because they are directly involved in the process.

An additional upside to small production methods is that some of the farms are operated to strict organic guidelines: no pesticides, no hormones, no antibiotics, and humane treatment of the animals.  Farms that follow federally instituted guidelines can earn the right to carry the USDA organic appellation.

Many of these online meat stores owe their existence to the popularity of the farm-to-fork movement which allows ranchers to control every aspect of the production chain from the farm to your plate while eliminating middle-men and brokers.

Flash-freezing and courier services are two components that make the entire process possible.  It ensures that 1. the product arrives quickly and to high quality standards and 2. price mark-ups are kept low delivering cost savings to the consumer.

These online meat stores provide beef in a variety of portion sizes ranging from regular supermarket cuts (chops, roasts) to specialty cuts (tri point, chateaubriand, to entire beef sides.  Whether offered as sides or combo packs, these volume deals can deliver considerable cost savings working out to $11 to $19 a pound for excellent quality beef.  Quality beef products from small production farms at great cost savings: this is the main value proposition of online meat store retailers.

Have you heard any thing about these dog foods?

I’ve been online lately looking for a different dog food and I was wondering if yall have heard anything about KARMA (an organic dog food) and EVO (a dog food that has no grains)?

Innova EVO is a fantastic food. Along with maybe Timberwolf Organics, Orijen and Solid Gold Barking at the Moon, it is one of the best commercially available foods in terms of quality of ingredients. The only problem with grain free foods is that they are calorie/ingredient dense meaning they probably won’t suit a dog with a sensitive stomach. Assuming your dog has no foody issues, you can’t get much better than EVO.
