Introducing Good Ranchers’ Grass-Finished Beef Program

Introducing Good Ranchers’ Grass-Finished Beef Program

When it comes to choosing grass-finished beef, the details matter. Not all grass-fed beef is created equal—and unfortunately, most of what’s out there isn’t what it seems.

 

Did you know that 85% of grass-fed beef sold in the U.S. is imported? That’s right: while it might be labeled as “grass-fed,” chances are it’s shipped from halfway around the world, often with murky production standards and limited oversight.

 

At Good Ranchers, we believe you deserve better. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our NEW Grass-Finished Beef Program—a commitment to delivering 100% American-raised, grass-finished beef that’s superior in quality, taste, and ethics.

 

Let’s break down why our program stands out from the rest.

 

Expanding Our Product Line To Include Grass-Finished Beef

 

Our Evolution

 

Good Ranchers has always been dedicated to sourcing the best quality American meat for our customers. For years, we focused exclusively on grass-fed, grain-finished beef.

 

While grain-finished beef has its own unique appeal—such as richer marbling and a buttery flavor profile due to the supplemental grains added during the final months of feeding—we’ve heard from many customers over the years who’ve struggled to find 100% American, grass-finished beef.

 

We exist to connect the American family to the American farm, so we’ve created one of the best 100% American grass-finished beef offerings you can have delivered.

 

What’s the Difference Between Grain-Finished and Grass-Finished Beef?

 

 

By adding grass-finished beef to our product line, we’re giving you more choices without ever compromising on our commitment to the highest-quality, 100% American-raised beef.

 

Is Grass-Finished Beef Better Than Grain-Finished Beef?

 

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about grain-finished beef. Many people assume it’s somehow “inferior” or less healthy than grass-finished beef due to its higher fat content—but this simply isn’t true.

 

The fats in grain-finished beef, particularly the marbling, contain oleic acid, a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. According to the National Institutes of Health, “high quality marbled beef is not only of excellent eating quality but may also contain more beneficial fatty acids.”

 

How Good Ranchers Sets the Standard

 

Our Grass-Finished Beef Program is more than just a label—it’s a promise. Every cut is sourced from trusted American ranches. No shortcuts, no imports, no compromises.

 

Unlike the grocery store or other meat delivery services, we guarantee that our grass-finished beef is Beef Quality Assurance certified, 100% American-sourced, and free of antibiotics and added hormones.

 

Why does that matter? Because most grass-finished beef on the market is imported, as only a small percentage of American ranchers grass-finish their cattle.

 

We go the extra mile to partner with ranchers across the country, including some of the smallest, most local operations. This dedication ensures you receive the exceptional quality and transparency you deserve—straight from American soil.


 

Why Local Grass-Finished Beef Matters

 

Transparency and Quality You Can Trust

Imported beef often hides behind misleading labels. Even if it’s processed or packaged in the U.S., its journey might have started thousands of miles away. With Good Ranchers, you can be confident that every cut of our grass-finished beef comes from American ranchers who follow the highest standards of care.

 


Support for American Farmers

When you buy Good Ranchers grass-finished beef, you’re supporting local ranchers and their families. These are the hardworking men and women dedicated to producing high-quality beef while caring for their land and livestock.


 

Unmatched Freshness and Flavor

Long shipping times and questionable storage conditions can take a toll on imported beef. Our beef goes from farm to table faster, ensuring superior freshness. But best of all? It’s distinctly American.


Imported Grass-Fed Beef: What They Don’t Tell You

 

Imported grass-fed beef often comes from countries with less stringent regulations. This means:

  • Lower Standards of Animal Welfare: Practices vary widely, and you can’t always be sure animals are treated humanely.
  • Uncertain Environmental Impact: Shipping beef across oceans has a massive carbon footprint, and the farming practices abroad might not prioritize sustainability.
  • Misleading Labels: Imported beef can legally be labeled as “Product of the USA” if it’s processed here, even if the cattle were raised overseas.
  • Higher Risk for Contamination: Imported meat is often sourced from countries with lower food safety standards. For example, Australia has had higher food recall rates than other countries in recent years. We’ve also seen recalls for food coming from New Zealand, and concern still surrounds Brazilian meat since years ago there were found to be bribes going on in their meat industry - some of these bribes leading to contaminated food being falsified as safe and other malicious tactics to sell dangerous cuts to American supermarkets for profit.

Don’t settle for mystery meat. You deserve the real deal, raised right here in the USA.
