Hi all--

More research showing health benefits of grass-fed beef over grain-fed
beef:

Blacksburg, Va., 15-Mar-2005

"Does it make a difference whether beef cattle are pasture or grain fed?"

"Early research results at Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life
Sciences indicate that pasture-fed beef has less fat and higher conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA), indicating that it may be a healthier choice....The
meat is tested for minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids, especially those
that are beneficial to human health such as conjugated linoleic acid.  The
results have been positive in all fields."
