WHY DEXTERS?
Dexter cattle are a hardy breed with a robust immune system that don’t require the chemicals typically used in a commercial cattle operation. They are easy handling; easy calving and provide a high quality beef as well as milk.
Their calm gentle nature has given them the honour of being labeled the ideal family cow.
WHAT IS GRASS FINISHED?
Not all beef cattle are raised on pasture after they’re weaned. Most, conventionally raised cattle are sent from pasture, to feedlot, where they’re “finished” on a concentrated grain diet (usually corn and barley) in an effort to fatten them up quickly for market.
Grass-fed cattle, on the other hand, spend their entire lives eating only grass: they are not fed any grains. In the spring, summer and fall, cows graze on pasture and in the winter they eat hay.
Unlike grain-fed cattle, 100% grass fed animals take six to 12 months longer to reach market weight. Up to one year of extra grass, care and labor is predominately way grass-fed beef is a higher price than most cuts of conventional beef
There are many health benefits with grass-fed beef
Greater protein to build healthy muscle

Higher levels of Omega-3, Beta Carotene, Antioxidants (Vitamins A & E) and Minerals
Higher levels of CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) which has been shown to fight cancer as well as heart disease
Helps to maintain a healthy blood sugar level
