Green Heron Growers - Chautauqua County's grass fed beef

About Our Grass-fed Beef

Our beef are raised on certified organic pasture in the summer and on hay and balage when the pasture isn't growing. Minerals and sea kelp are provided at all times and also clean water. They are never given grain, antibiotics, or growth hormones. Each day during the summer the cows are moved to new, lush sections of pasture. Rotational grazing improves the pasture by building soil and increasing fertility. Our herd is made up of Devon Cross steer. Our bred of choice is Devon because of their ability to convert grass to meat efficiently and marble without grain. Eating grass, legumes and herbs is the natural way for cattle. Cows are herbivores and were not mean to eat grain, as they do in industrial feedlot systems. Devon cattle have been at the heart of the American agricultural since Pilgrim times, they have been bred to produce succulent beef from a grass diet for centuries.

It has health-promoting fats called omega-3 fatty acids and CLA "conjugated linoleic acid", plus more vitamin A & E than conventional beef. Grass-fed meat has two to four times more omega-3s, the so-called "good fat". The are an important building-block in every cell of your body.
